GDT's diverse arts movement for all ages and communities to enrich lives!
You help us grow and connect with diverse communities and enrich lives through the arts for all ages. With your help, Gateway Dance Theatre (GDT) is moving forward as a gateway to embrace and bridge the issues that touch the mind, body, and spirit. Spread the love and joy of the arts!
Your gift supports GDT to make available free and affordable classes, outreach programs, performances, and events. These statements demonstrate your gift's impact:
I liked the dance you taught us. When I got home I taught it to my Mom and sisters. Thank you – Bad dance Cole, Clive Elementary School
“GDT has not lost its focus for bridging the cultural, educational, and emotional divides. GDT offers outreach programs to agencies and institutions that lack humanities programs. Their continued involvement in the community provides a taste of diversity, but more importantly, is a catalyst for dialogue on how to bridge the cultural divide and how best to incorporate arts in the education of youth.” Tracy Levine, former Executive Director, Metro Arts Alliance of Greater Des Moines
“I was in the GDT program in middle school, and it’s one of the few programs that I still remember as an adult and I love it!” Julanda Taylor, Community School Coordinator, Des Moines Public Schools
The year 2022 marks 50 years of GDT in our community. We want YOU to be part of the celebration! Exciting events will occur all year and we will keep you updated.
