Each year, our company and second company members bring creativity to life by designing and hand-painting their own Nutcracker doll. This special collection is now available through our Silent Auction — a fundraiser supporting FMBallet’s upcoming trip to Ballet Alliance 2026 in Reno, NV.

We are thrilled to have the opportunity to attend Ballet Alliance, where our dancers will train alongside pre-professional and professional artists from across the country. This experience allows them to grow technically and artistically, learn from master teachers, and share their own choreography and performance work on a national stage.

Funds raised through this auction help make this invaluable experience more accessible and affordable for the dancers representing not only our company, but the state of North Dakota. Your support directly impacts their ability to learn, grow, and shine.

If you would prefer to contribute directly, donations can also be made on our website.

Thank you for supporting our dancers and the future of FMBallet!
