OUR NUMBERS
The Patti Rutland Jazz Arts in Education Outreach program is the largest outreach program in the State of Alabama funded in part by Dothan City Schools, The Wiregrass Foundation and the generous support of the PRJ Members! The Patti Rutland Jazz dance Company teaches classes weekly to over 8,000 children. We teach over 2000 classes during three six-week semesters. Students in PreSchool/HeadStart, all 11 Dothan City Elementary schools, all 4 Dothan City Middle Schools, Ashford Elementary,Vaughn Blumberg Center, and Troy Elementary all benefit from BEYONDance. Students follow a thorough curriculum designed to fully engage and improve communication/motor skills, overall physical fitness as well as conduct, focus, and social skills. In addition to our presence within the school system, PRJ also partners with Girls Inc. and the Evergreen Preschool Ministry. Each year we are challenged to raise the $100,000.00 it takes to run the outreach program and it is getting harder each year.
