Celebrate New Year's Eve with RDE the best way we know how - with sparkles & shimmies, tassels & twirls, champagne and cheeky moves - ushering in another year of sharing movement and creativity with our community! 2025 Sparkle will raise funds for us to put on our next major production METAL + MOZART scheduled for August 22nd and 23rd 2026 at The Ellen Theatre. Donations from the 2025 Sparkle Spectacular fundraising event will go towards production costs of putting on this large scale, epic journey of music and movement.

RDE reveals the company's third major production blending classical and contemporary music and movement. A concept in three acts, METAL + MOZART brings dancers, choreographers, classical musicians, and local metal band GALVANIST together to create a mind-bending, unbounded journey of original composition and choreography.

Similar in scope to VIVALDI + RANGES in 2018 and RACHMANINOV + PLUTONIA in 2022, METAL + MOZART reveals the limitless collaborative vision of Raison D’être Dance Project, and brings the audience along on an unforgettable and immersive explosion of style, sound, and movement.

We need your help to keep the epicness going! Ticket sales only cover a small portion of our expenses (this is standard in the non-profit performing arts) so we depend on our remarkable and generous patrons in order to continue operating. We ask you to contribute in the way that feels best to you, if you believe in our mission to provide communities with a unique view of movement and inspire love and cultivation of dance and music. We are so grateful to each of you for understanding how movement can bring us together, and supporting us in our efforts.
