To create a work of art it takes some key elements...years of training, endless hours of practice and some very expensive footwear.

The costs of producing a ballet are surprising. Dancers work for minimal compensation and most dancers work multiple jobs to survive. A love of the art may feed their spirit, but they still need to eat, pay the rent, and buy dance supplies.

An Adopt-a-Dancer sponsor can help keep dancers “in the pink” by offsetting some of the expenses of performing. The beauty of the ballet is a cultural gift for our city; a financial gift from you can help sustain this lovely art form.  For under $10 a week you can sponsor a BTM company dancer; for about $5 a week you can sponsor a BTM 2 dancer.  All donations are tax deductible and every penny goes directly to the dancers.

Adopt-a-Dancer sponsors receive the following benefits:
