On Sunday, April 26, 2026, we're trading our ballet shoes for sneakers and hitting the pavement for our Walk-a-Thon: 40th Anniversary Edition. We're ready to make every step count. All we're missing is generous donors like you!

Four decades of dancers, dreamers, and dedicated faculty, pianists, and staff have built something truly special at Chicago Ballet Arts. At the heart of it all is a simple belief: every child with the desire to learn deserves access to high-quality ballet training. Our audition free enrollment, need-based scholarships, and community engagement through performance and outreach are integral parts of how we turn that belief into reality.

Now it's time to step up and keep it going! Your support helps to fund fair pay for our incredible team, opportunities to perform in theaters and in the community, and unique programming like intensives and specialty workshops that bring training to life for dancers ages 2 through adults.

A gift of any size has real impact and every dollar is part of something 40 years in the making. Sponsor a dancer or donate to the general event and help us celebrate four decades of heart, hard work, and a whole lot of plié-ing it forward.

Interested in joining the fun? We'd love to have you walk with us or volunteer. Contact us for details!
