DREAMS THAT YOU DARE TO DREAM REALLY DO COME TRUE

Just ask American Midwest Ballet dancer Erin Alarcón. Her all-new original ballet, The Wizard of Oz, premiered this spring, a dream nearly 25 years in the making.

First pitched as an idea for our company six years ago, this ballet was a labor of love.

The Wizard of Oz tells us that it’s the people you share your journey with that are most important. You are a part of our family; continue with us on our journey to Season 10!

YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE

Think of Macy, an 8-year-old aspiring dancer who loves to perform in The Nutcracker. Macy has Down Syndrome, and according to her mom, the priceless art of dance boosts her confidence, encourages more social interaction, increases strength and coordination, and teaches patience.

Picture Mikael, a child with one of our outreach partner organizations. He didn’t think he would like ballet, but he was blown away by the performance, saying “That was AWESOME!”

what does it take to keep american midwest ballet granting dreams?

It takes $1.8 million to produce:

$840,000 of that comes from generous supporters like you.
