Florida West Ballet was founded in 1981 as a non-profit scholarship program for talented young dancers, 8 to 18, interested in furthering their education in classical ballet. Florida West Ballet raises the funds required for this program through a variety of means. The student’s very reasonable tuition only funds a small portion of Florida West Ballet’s expenses. Fund raisers, private donations, public grants and a lot of parental volunteers provide the additional support for Florida West Ballet. Florida West Ballet invites you to support this special program by using iGive or visiting our website, www.floridawestballet.com, and giving a direct donation. In return for your tax-deductible donation you will receive the pleasure of knowing you have helped provide these young talented dancers the opportunity they otherwise would not have. We extend an invitation to you to attend one of our performances, during which you will see firsthand the exceptional talent of these young dancers. Additionally. Your donation will help to ensure the continued health of a vibrant arts environment in our community. Many alumni of this program continue to pursue their dance careers with prestigious professional companies. [view full description]
