Help Collage LEAP into the future!

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 Dance we know that it is just an opportunity to celebrate ballet.

Why else would it be called LEAP DAY???

Growing up I fell in love with all different types of performing arts. Dance was, and still is one, of my favorites! When I was younger I watched ballet dancers leap across my tv screen in pure amazement. Struck by the beauty of each piece, I often entered a trance as if I had leaped into the audience. It's absolutely amazing to now not only be in the audience witnessing such beauty, but to be a part of the team that makes it possible for countless others to witness it too!

Like most performing arts organizations, Collage relies on donations from individual supporters to provide its excellent programming to the Memphis community and beyond.

Will you join me this Leap Day and donate a gift of $29 to support their mission to inspire the growth of ballet?

Thank you!
Elena

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.
