HISTORY OF ONE ART
In 197.7, Jose Martin and Diana Martin, served special youth and adults through
the City of Miami program "CARE", "Creative. Arts in Recreation and .Education".
This successful program provided outreach dance and cultural programs for the
handicapped and underprivileged. Unfortunately, due to administrative changes
in The City. of Miami, this valuable and worthwhile program was cut only two
years later.
In 1979, One Art was then incorporated for the purpose of continuing these
efforts in providing quality cultural programming designed to enrich the lives _,
of. special populations throughout Dade County.
-_ In 1980, One Art established "The City of Miami's, First .Annual Dance Festival
of Children", presently in its 11th year, under The Florida Department of
State, ,Division of Cultural Affairs', "Arts in Education Program", with the
_ assistance of The Dade County School Board and The City of Miami. This program
was designed .specifically to serve Dade County school children with
professional dance instruction, workshops and dance festival presentations.
In 1985, due to demand and increased. enrollment from .Exceptional Education
.Departments of local participating schools, $dditional classes for exceptional,
students .were opened. When this segment of the program grew-and later became
° an enormous success, "Annual Special Workshops and Performances for Special
Populations," was then created to provide dance: classes. `and presentations to
culturally underserved children.
° As this 'program expanded, Oae Art .developed "Special Dancers of America" in
1987, as a program entirely dedicated to training• and prepazing handicapped
- children -with professional dance instruction and performing-opportunities
throughput the year.
