YOU MAKE AMAZING THINGS POSSIBLE!

Ballet is so much more than a series of steps put to music. It is the dedication to creating something beyond ourselves, the joy of inspiring and training the next generation of dancers, and the warmth of connection with our audiences.

It takes $2 million to make the magic of dance this coming season. Nearly $1 million of that comes from our amazing supporters like you!
