SARASOTA BALLET

Spirit of Giving - December 2022

WITH A MISSION TO ENRICH LIVES, captivate emotions, and strengthen community through the art of dance, The Sarasota Ballet has become one of the nation’s most exciting ballet companies. The Sarasota Ballet presents over 30 performances each Season with an exciting range of repertoire from World Premieres to beloved classics. As one of the areas only touring organizations, The Sarasota Ballet recently completed a week-long residency at the Joyce Theater in New York City in August 2022. Education Programs, including The Sarasota Ballet School, The Margaret Barbieri Conservatory, and the Summer Intensive, offer ballet training to over 250 students each year.

New this Season, The Sarasota Ballet launches Dance for All, a Community Engagement Platform with six core programs: Dance – The Next Generation, Joyful Movement through Parkinson’s, Silver Swans, Public School Programs, Community Performances, and Free Lectures, Tickets & Tours. Dance for All (DFA) partners with over 30 organizations and offers 80+ free and low-cost activities, providing access to dance and the arts to individuals of all ages and abilities. Through this range of programming, The Sarasota Ballet brings World-Class performances and accessible arts education to the Sarasota-Manatee communities and beyond. As our community and our nation faces an ever-changing economic climate, The Sarasota Ballet seeks funding that will create a strong foundation for our future. This includes Legacy or planned gifts and gifts to our Endowment Fund. In addition, The Sarasota Ballet seeks annual unrestricted gifts to support our End of Year Campaign (running through the end of December) and gifts to support our new Community Engagement Platform, Dance for All.

There are a multitude of ways and opportunities to support The Sarasota Ballet. For more information, please contact our Development Department at 941.359-0099 ext. 110.
