Our DONORS

We exist because of the generosity of individuals who partner with us to enrich our Western Australian community with
the beauty of dance. We proudly acknowledge our supporters - our ballet family - who empower us to dance breathtaking
performances and take transformative dance experiences to the very corners of our state.

Your support means so much to us, thank you – we cannot do it without you.
