Support Our Mission
Ballet Continental is fueled by community support. Help us further our mission to make dance education and performance opportunities accessible to as many students as possible.
Fundraisers
The easiest way to support our dancers while getting something fun in return: like a night off from cooking, great local savings, or a chance to win prizes. These fundraisers are the perfect way to make a difference and they thank you for your generosity right away!

And more!

Partners
Ballet Continental would especially like to thank and recognize the following organizations and individuals for their generous support. We are deeply grateful for your partnership in supporting the arts, enriching our community’s culture, and making education and performance opportunities available to aspiring dancers in Southern Arizona.
HEY Productions
HEY Productions is a neighboring 501(c)(3) nonprofit performing arts company, focusing on musical theater for youth ages 8-24. Many of our dancers also participate in their program, and parent volunteers often help with production support for both organizations.
Country Fair White Elephant
The Country Fair White Elephant has been a generous supporter of Ballet Continental’s performance program for many years, along with over 100 other organizations throughout Southern Arizona. Their 2025 contribution of $20,000 was applied towards the production budgets for our Dance Company’s annual performances, funded scholarships and unique workshops for dancers, and enabled the installation of full-height mirrors in our studio space for use during dance classes and performance rehearsals.
Arizona Commission on the Arts
The Arizona Commission on the Arts provides grants, programs, services and leadership in support of the arts and arts learning programs throughout the State of Arizona. Their $4,600 grant supported our teacher-in-training program, providing dancers an opportunity to become dance teachers themselves.
The Optimist Club of Green Valley/Sahuarita
The Optimist Club of Green Valley/Sahuarita, a local chapter of Optimist International, generously donated $500 towards the purchase of new costumes for our annual holiday performance of The Nutcracker Ballet.
