Ballet Minnesota

Ballet Minnesota  enriches lives in the Twin Cities community by creating and sharing the beauty of dance through education and public performances. We thank you for all your support over the years, especially last year as we navigated through the pandemic.

This year, we ask for your help in raising funds to replace a backdrop from our annual production of The Classic Nutcracker. In recent fundraising efforts, we have been able to raise $3k of the $10k needed to replace it! With your generous support, we are striving to close the gap of $7k. 

Celebrating 34 years! Ballet Minnesota was founded with the vision of creating artistry in dance through the classic repertoire and original choreographed works. We want to thank you for your past or present support of Ballet Minnesota.

The "Gift Backdrop"  is in need of replacement after serving our Classic Nutcracker for over 30 years. As seen in the image above, this backdrop is a key element of our scenery which provides the magical transformation from Clara's Living Room to the enchanting and mystifying world of the Nutcracker where everything grows in size... or does Clara just get smaller? 

With your support, we will be able to restore this element of our production to its former glory; allowing it to further provide a magical experience for future audiences in their favorite holiday tradition. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

As a non-profit organization, Ballet Minnesota receives most of its revenue through grants and ticket sales. Today we ask for your continued financial support. For arts organizations, like Ballet Minnesota, production costs are no small feat. Your donation will ensure that Ballet Minnesota is able to continue producing quality dance, as well as giving Ballet Minnesota dancers the opportunity to perform in a professional production setting year round. It's people like you, our community, who help make this possible. 

Every gift makes a positive impact, thank you!

With your support, you allow us to continue enriching the lives through dance. www.balletminnesota.org
