Why We Dance: Join the Movement Celebrating Connection Through Art and Centering Community

Through our Why We Dance campaign, we’re sharing the heart behind what we do—and inviting you to be part of it. From our education and outreach programs to commissioning of new works, every step we take is rooted in access, innovation, and the belief that dance belongs to everyone.

Because through dance, we express what words cannot, witness the beauty of our shared humanity, and remember how deeply we're connected.

This summer, we aim to raise $30,000 to continue uplifting artists, inspiring audiences, and bringing transformative dance experiences to our community. Because when we support the arts, we support a future filled with imagination, empathy, and the audacity to move forward.

With your support, we can continue our mission and broaden the reach of dance to everyone.

To Inspire: Bringing Dance to the Community

At the core of our mission is the desire to inspire. TRBP’s education and outreach programs bring dance into classrooms, community centers, studios, and even on the streets, enforcing our belief that dance should be a dimension of everyday life for everyone. From our arts-integrated Ballet Machine workshops for elementary students to our Dance Out Loud! after-school residencies and open adult ballet classes, we provide opportunities for all to experience the transformative power of movement.

To Explore: Redefining Dance Through New Works

Every new work we premiere is an invitation to explore the endless possibilities of dance. Our commitment to innovation allows artists to create without restrictions. This freedom fuels bold storytelling that taps into the human experience, connecting us on levels that go beyond words.

To Connect: Building Relationships through Performance

In dance, performances extend far beyond the stage. Our aim is to foster authentic human connection between artists and audiences. to create environments where individuals feel they truly belong. This connection transcends applause; it comprises the shared moments that grip your heart, enabling movement to express what words cannot.

To Innovate: Empowering Visionaries in Dance

Our dancers are not just performers; they are visionaries shaping the future of ballet. With your support, we empower them to thrive, pushing creative boundaries and challenging traditional norms. Real innovation occurs when artists are given the platform and the space to take risks, explore, experiment, and collaborate. Each step becomes an expression that not only entertains but also elevates and pushes the entire art form forward. We nurture the art form by nurturing the artists.

Support Our Campaign: Help Us Raise $30,000

This season, we are reaching out with a bold goal: to raise $30,000 for our Why We Dance campaign. Your contributions will ensure that TRBP can continue to support artists, inspire audiences, and expand dance's reach in our community.

Imagine the difference we can make together: more outreach programs, new commissions for dancemakers, and richer experiences for our audiences.

Dance as a Unifying Force

Every contribution, no matter how small, contributes to a future where everyone can experience the joy and connection found in dance. Together, we embrace the spirit of creativity and collaboration that defines TRBP—where we’re not just redefining ballet; we’re enriching lives.
