Investing in Arts Education

Partners In Education $1,000 and up

The School of Alberta Ballet has developed a Partners In Education Plan, which assists in helping talented young students pursue their dreams of becoming professional dancers by raising much needed scholarship funds. Partners in Education contribute to any of the following areas: scholarship fund, studio naming, learning resource center or our "Children: Arts in Action" season finale.

Music in Movement $1,000 and up

In ballet class musicians provide an irreplaceable source of musicality and inspiration for both students and teachers.

Our Music in Movement Campaign supports our belief that the respect, artistry and music appreciation engendered by having live musical accompaniment is an invaluable component of dance education. By contributing to this campaign, you help ensure that young dancers acquire skills vital to their art and that local musicians develop future audiences.

Corporate Benefactor's Circle $1,000 and up

Benefactors of the School of Alberta Ballet are donors, who through their generosity and ongoing commitment, provide the resources necessary to prepare young dancers for their future careers across Canada and the world.

The financial leadership of benefactors acts as a source of inspiration to the entire school, and encourages many other sources of giving in the community.

To invest in arts education, please contact Chris George 403-245-2274 x233.
