Form 990, Part VI, Line 11: Form 990 Review Process
The tax return is prepared by an outside accounting firm. After completion of said returns, the organization is sent a draft of the tax returns to be reviewed and examined. The organization makes copies of the returns and distributes to those individuals charged with governance. Those individuals at that time can review and if applicable discuss any line items in the return with the accountant who has prepared the return. If all items are found to be acceptable, an affidavit is signed to authorize the outside accounting firm to process, sign and provide copies of the returns to be filed with the designated governmental agencies. Because the organization's assets exceed $10,000,000 or more and it is a requirement that the form 990 is efiled, the federal tax form 8879 is signed and returned to the tax preparer so that the form 990 can be timely e-filed. All other tax returns are signed, stamped with certified return receipt and timely placed in the mail for filing. A final tax return copy is then forwarded to all Board members.

Client Note 2 - OBERLIN DANCE COLLECTIVE, INC.EIN 34-1191163FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010990 Part III, Line 4aStatement of Program Service AccomplishmentsOberlin Dance Collective2010 was a transformative year for ODC, from the Company's January State Department tour to Southeast Asia to our ODC Theater Grand Opening in October. To kick off the year, ODC Dance undertook a 4-week performance/educational tour to Thailand, Indonesia and Burma as one of only three companies in the country chosen by the US State Department and Brooklyn Academy of Music to take part in a diplomatic tour. Over 5,000 people flocked to our well-received performances and nearly 1,000 participated in lecture/demonstrations, master classes, and workshops, while the Company traveled throughout Southeast Asia. ODC Dance also toured domestically, bringing its distinct West Coast artistry and "astonishing physicality and virtuosity" to audiences in Colorado, Wyoming and Wisconsin and Los Angeles. Closer to home, the Company worked with ODC Theater to conceive and realize a California touring network that allowed Bay Area dance companies to take their work to more rural areas of our state. As part of this touring project, ODC Dance performed at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Through statewide, national and international touring alone, ODC's contemporary dance influence reached over 15,000 people in 2010, bringing the name of San Francisco and the excellence of its artists to the attention of a broad range of audiences. ODC Dance's March 12-28 repertory season at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts brought two new works to light with Brenda Way's Waving Not Drowning (A Guide to Elegance) and KT Nelson's Labor of Love, reaching an audience of over 7,500. Waving Not Drowning was recognized by the San Francisco Chronicle as one of the top 10 dance events in San Francisco in 2010, one of only four events on the list both created and performed by a San Francisco-based artist and ensemble. On September 30, we officially opened the expanded and completely renovated ODC Theater, realizing Brenda Way's long-held vision for a cultural campus and establishing a training, performance, and presenting institution unique in the United States. We launched our state-of-the-art facility with Way's choreographic installation Architecture of Light for the full company and guest dancers; the work brought every nook and cranny of the new theater to life. The New York Times dance critic, Alastair Macaulay, hailed the new ODC Theater as "gloriousa superb asset to Bay Area dance," and, about The Architecture of Light, he wrote: "ingenious-fun tooalways honestly about full-bodied movement."Our Dance Commons School broke records drawing over 15,000 students, 200 of them in the teen program, the Healthy Dancers' Clinic tended hundreds of patients free of charge. ODC Dance launched I Speak Dance, a pilot project aimed to cultivate fluency and life-long interest in dance among a young adult audience. The focus is on regional college students for whom a mini-curriculum was created to provide exposure and first-hand interaction with live, high-quality professional dance. The partners for 2010 were San Francisco State University, University of San Francisco, Mills College and California College of the Arts include one dance and one non-dance partner class. The programs consist of four structured activities with each group of students:1.Introductory Film (media based introductory experience)2.Immediate Dance (participatory dance event, choreographic/performance workshop)3.Unplugged (discussion about, and viewing of, work-in-progress at ODC)4.Audience experience (observation of live dance performance)Following each activity, ODC surveyed the students about their experience with regard to the event: were they engaged, what did they learn from the overall experience? ODC Theater reached 150 students in the fall semester of I Speak Dance with performances at the ODC Theater.The Mellon Foundation invited Ms. Way and ODC to develop a multi-year program in support of contemporary choreography. We designed several strategic programs for local dance-makers and we are now among a select cohort of seven Mellon grant recipients that include the Walker Art Center and the Joyce Theater. Further accolades in 2010 include Brenda Way's designation as MVP by the San Francisco Chronicle for completing the ODC Campus, "assuring her a permanent place as a prime mover in the Bay Area dance community." Following the opening of the new ODC Theater, ODC/Dance anchored JumpstART, a free day-long community festival of dance, film, and theater. We also held our first unplugged work-in-progress performance at the new facility allowing audiences a glimpse into the creative process for KT Nelson's newest work, Listening Last. These fall events have opened the doors of our campus and invited arts constituencies, patrons, friends and community members to experience our wonderful new facility. Closing out the year was a three-week run of The Velveteen Rabbit by ODC/Dance at YBCA. We are proud to have established a tradition of live contemporary dance performance for families, a real San Francisco tradition which reaches approximately 10,000 people during its annual run. This is perhaps the only production of its kind in America and it continues to tour the country. As we stand on the threshold of ODC's 40th anniversary year we are making a home for artists, investing in young people, exploring artistically and dancing the improbable dream. The SchoolSince opening the Dance Commons in 2005, the ODC School curricular offerings have increased from 12 to over 150 classes/week for adults and from 17 to 72 classes/week for youth and teens. With the inclusion of Rhythm & Motion's Dance Workout programs, the school continues to offer a diverse curriculum for those dancing for sheer enjoyment to professionals and pre-professionals seeking serious training. Classes range widely, including: Contemporary, Ballet, Global (Flamenco, African Diaspora, Bhangra, and Belly Dance), American Vernacular (Hip Hop, Jazz, and Rhythm Tap), partnered dance (Salsa, Swing, and Tango), Dance Workout, and Mind/Body (Yoga, Pilates, and Feldenkrais). The School's Youth & Teen Program has augmented its programming, to include a Boy's Class, Teen Introduction to Technique (Ballet and Contemporary), and additional classes for very young students (Little Bears and Little Rabbits). A three-week Summer Intensive for teen advanced students was offered for its seventh year this summer.The ODC School Adult dance program annually hosts Performance Workshops in the spring and fall. Several workshops run concurrently for a 13-week period that culminates in a Student Showcase featuring numerous dance disciplines in one integrated performance. While the atmosphere remains casual the workshops provide student participants (many whom are recreational dancers) with the opportunity to participate in a structured performance environment, explore new disciplines, and share their experience with fellow ODC Dance Commoners, friends, and family. The workshops have become a staple of the ODC School and the sold-out performances bring many new and returning guests through our doors. The upcoming spring showcase includes Clogging, Hip Hop, Mexican Folkloric, Samba, Salsa Rueda, Flamenco, House Dance, Tribal Belly Dance, Street Method, Percussion, Capoeira, Afro-Haitian, and Ballet. In addition to our regular programming, ODC School offered a number of opportunities for students to participate in community events. Our Flash Mob was enormously popular and over 150 students took part in this cultural event to "dance in the streets" - literally. At the Cable Car turnaround, teachers and students alike performed for an unsuspecting crowd. The weeks leading up to the event saw a spike in class attendance as students prepared to dance in public. The same thing happened when we announced our participation in the SF Gay Pride Parade. Students, led by teachers, took part in this annual event. Both events generated much pride in the programs offered here at the ODC Dance Commons.ODC School was represented in San Francisco's Carnaval Parade for the second year in a row in 2010 with a 50 member contingent, led by two Salsa Rueda faculty members, Sydney Weaverling and Ryan Mead. The contingent theme was "Tremenda Onda En La Calle," the choreography included fun and original wave and water-like moves based on Salsa, Casino, and Cuban Popular Dances. Rehearsals took place weekly at the ODC Dance Commons for four months before the contingent danced in the San Francisco's Mission neighborhood tradition in May 2010.The School produced two Pilot performances for emerging choreographers, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the program in December with Pilot 57. 13 choreographers participated in the Audition Series, a program designed to bring dancers and choreographers together in a classroom setting.
