This February, the Collage Dance family is thrilled to be celebrating Leap Year!

Every four years, February gets an extra day. Some people say it's to help balance the calendar with Earth's orbit around the Sun, but here at Collage we know that it is just an opportunity to celebrate ballet.

Why else would it be called LEAP DAY???

This year, led by Collage's own Leap Day Baby, Anne-Carolyn in Development, we are inviting members of the Collage family - staff, dancers, faculty, conservatory families, volunteers - to participate in a peer-to-peer campaign. Throughout the entire month of February, we encourage you to share your love of Collage with your networks and encourage donations of $29 (for February 29th). Or more!

When you join as a fundraiser, we will give you the tools to build your own donation page, set your own goal, and add your own details and stories of what you love about Collage. What makes your heart "leap?" when you think about the work we do? Tell your favorite story of a performance that made you "leap" out of your chair, or of time on stage when your grand jete or saut de chat was perfect.

Thank you for joining our LEAP Year Campaign! If we manage to raise $29,000, maybe we'll get Collage leadership to "leap" down the Conservatory hallway...
