This year, more than ever, the state of arts funding is challenging. Grants are increasingly competitive, budgets are shrinking, and small dance companies like ours are being asked to do more with far less. However, our community still deserves vibrant, imaginative, high-quality dance, and our artists still deserve to be paid fairly for the work they pour their hearts into and believe in.

That's why we are launching our first-ever Giving Tuesday campaign.

In Spring 2026, Soda Shop plans to bring Northern Colorado a new production, but we cannot do it alone!

Our goal is to raise $6,000, and every single dollar will go directly toward dancer wages. This helps us to continue paying our artists equitably for their time, talent, and craft.

Why Your Support Matters

Your gift isn’t just a donation, it’s an investment in:

• Fair pay for local dancers

• High-quality, accessible dance performances

• A thriving arts ecosystem in Northern Colorado

• The future of Soda Shop’s work and mission

In a time when the arts are struggling to stay afloat, your generosity truly becomes the difference between what’s possible and what’s not. You help keep our rehearsals running, our dancers working, and our community connected through meaningful performance.

How You Can Help

• Make a tax-deductible donation

• Share this page with friends, family, and arts lovers in your circle.

• Spread the word on social media and encourage others to give.

From the bottom of our hearts: thank you for believing in small companies, in artist livelihoods, and in the power of dance. With your help, our spring show can become a reality.
