Yes! Dance is important to me.
How important is dance to you? Here, at Spectrum Dance Theater, it is our reason for existence – the core of our being. Dance is what we eat, breathe and live. Through dance we are able to speak to our audiences, teach our students, and make art an important piece of many people's lives. It is your valuable support that allows this to happen.
What can making a gift to Spectrum Dance Theater accomplish? Without your support it would not be possible for us to expand the reach and power of dance. Your gift can help…
- Provide space and time for new dance artists to explore and develop their work through the Emerging Artists programs as part of our Studio Series.
- Create a forum for audiences to learn more about dance through our Reading Contemporary Dance discussion series.
- Explore new ways to present and create dance through our wide range of collaborations within the arts community.
- Ensure that art is a part of community and global dialogue through our Beyond Dance: Promoting Awareness and Mutual Understanding performances.
- Support the personal growth of individuals of any age through dance training and instruction at our school, with more than 10% of our students receiving either full or partial scholarships.
There is no contribution too small and we appreciate your support.
