Proceeds from the Spring Fundraiser benefit BBT’s Annual Fund, which provides vital support for our operating budget. As we strive to raise $50,000 for our Spring Fundraiser, your participation brings us one step closer to reaching this goal and ensuring that the transformative power of dance continues to thrive for generations to come.

As a proud 501(c)(3) non-profit organization for 43 years, BBT has been a cornerstone in the dance community. While tuition, ticket sales, and fees cover 85% of our operating costs, we rely on generous donations to cover the remaining 15%. This gap is critical in helping us fulfill our mission to provide competitive wages for faculty and accompanists, maintain the high quality of our programming, ensure that every class and performance experience is organized, supportive, and tailored to each dancer’s needs.

Your support of the Annual Fund directly fuels our Youth, Adult, and Pre-Ballet programs, empowering dancers of all ages and backgrounds. Every dollar you contribute goes to enhancing our classes and rehearsals through experienced faculty, theater rentals, costumes for performances, specialized studio flooring to help support dancers' long term health, live musical accompaniment, and the administrative support that makes all this possible.

Thank you for being an essential part of the BBT community and for helping us create a lasting impact through the arts. Together, we’re building a future where creativity, expression, community, and dance continue to thrive!
