The Urbana Dance Company teaches dance and performance that enriches people’s lives and builds confidence and connection to others. Our goal is for students to build and strengthen their relationships to one another, gain self-awareness, become empowered community leaders, and develop an appreciation for great artistry and imagination.

The Urbana Dance Company teaches from the perspective that human beings are eager for new information, new insights, new experiences, and new skills. Allowing this inherent attitude to flourish is the key job in the promotion of learning at Urbana Dance Company. The students must feel good about themselves, know they are cared for by the instructor, and feel accepted and secure in the learning environment. Instructors are encouraged to have a relaxed, aware, and eager attitude to help create a dynamic learning environment.

At The I.D.E.A. Store, an earned-income enterprise of our local education foundation, CUSF, we’re passionate about finding fun, functional and creative reuse for the materials we often take for granted. With a massive and ever-changing inventory of donated materials, projects of all sizes have never been as easy or Earth-friendly. We’re a store, a community, a donation center – we are a marketplace of items and ideas!

Our store supplies everyone – teachers, artists, crafters, students, program directors, community groups, churches, homeschoolers, and the curious with quality, safe reusable materials for artistic creations, the classroom, experimenting and more. We are your marketplace. Shop, share, donate, and volunteer in a fun and educational way and support our local schools through the Champaign Urbana Schools Foundation at the same time!

So why this store?

Every day, vast amounts of the Earth’s resources are sold as products for our use. Large or small, in our homes, businesses, or factories – it’s everywhere! And when we use them up, or can’t use them all, we just throw them away. Sometimes we wash it and use it again, we try to recycle, we keep stuff in our closets or we give it to our friends, but we wish there was something else we could do with all. that. stuff.

It’s all part of “The Waste Stream.” It flows day after day in an endless cycle – new resources being used while creating more and more waste.

But it can be interrupted!

The. I.D.E.A. Store is a simple and fun way to pluck the good stuff out of the waste stream and find it a use in our everyday lives. Participating in our little project – either as a customer, donator, or volunteer – is a way that you can help give old items a new life.

CUDO’s mission is to cultivate a vibrant design culture that engages and enriches our local community.

CUDO was founded in early 2009 by a group of local designers who were eager to meet others who shared their passion for design. While CUDO started as a professional organization for graphic designers, it has since evolved to be a far more inclusive organization for everyone who loves design, whether you are a professional, student, or avid fan (aka design nerd).

Since its inception, CUDO has held events (http://thecudo.org/events/) that range from socials to gallery shows to the popular PechaKucha Night C-U, which highlights inspiringly creative local stories in a unique fashion. We have also held workshops, movie screenings, and have run a highly popular (and free!) job board (http://thecudo.org/job-board/) that has connected local designers with the community. Fundamentally, we’re a collection of people from all walks of life who love design and want to meet and hang out with other kindred design-loving spirits.

CUDO hopes to inspire people to take an active role in creating the world around them.Shop: Nike
