Support the Art You Love

Ballet British Columbia relies on individuals with a great love of ballet to support our talented and dedicated dancers and sustain the dynamic performances, creative new works and growing education and outreach programming that makes us a leader in dance.

We wish the arts could be self-supporting, but the reality is that ticket sales and government support account for just over half of what it costs to maintain Ballet British Columbia and to ensure its continued growth.

As a Founders’ Council member, you may enjoy exclusive advantages such as invitations to the Opening Night receptions, working rehearsals and the opportunity to watch a performance backstage. Join us as a Founders’ Council Member for the 2005-2006 danceAlive! season and enjoy the host of benefits bringing you closer to the dancers, Artistic Director John Alleyne and other dancer lovers.
