This year, I am thrilled to be working for a ballet company. Why? Because it is a LEAP year!
Being a Leap Day Baby, I have always looked for special ways to celebrate my
once-every-4-years birthday. I was so pleased that my colleagues at Collage agreed to join me in a special fundraising campaign, encouraging people to "leap" up and support Collage Dance.
Like most performing arts organizations, Collage relies on donations to develop its world-class programming and training. With your support, we can propel Collage to become the leading international Black ballet company while remaining deeply rooted in the Memphis community.
Will you help me celebrate my 12th birthday?? Please consider making a donation to support Collage's company and school; suggested donation amounts are $29 or $229 in recognition of the special number of this unique day!
With immense gratitude,
Anne-Carolyn
About Collage:
For 14 years, Collage Dance has worked to inspire the growth and diversity of ballet. Collage Dance is one of the only professional ballet companies in the world with a roster of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) dancers and the Collage Dance Conservatory trains more children of color in a classical art form than any other non-profit in the area.
The organization has grown tremendously since 2009, is now one of the largest 50 ballet companies in the United States and was recently named a Southern Cultural Treasure by SouthArts and the Ford Foundation.
The Collage Dance Conservatory welcomes students of all backgrounds and races and is proactive in its efforts to engage students of color in an effort to address the racial inequity in classical ballet.
