Giving Tuesday With En Face

Our beloved ballet partners give us beauty with each performance.
It’s time to give back to them.

.

Whether it is recovering from a fire that destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of pointe shoes, providing free performance tickets to students and those in need, replacing thirty-year-old tutus that are beyond further repair, or making dance a part of school curriculums across the country, your donations will make a profound difference to both ballet companies and the communities they are devoted to. 

Embrace the spirit of Giving Tuesday with En Face Magazine as we shine a spotlight on both their far-reaching outreach programs and their pressing needs to continue creating for their communities. 

Learn about the donation needs of each of our partners below and make this Giving Tuesday one to remember.

This season, PNB’s dancers will rehearse and perform in over 2,000 pair of custom-fit, handcrafted pointe shoes. At $120 a pair, with each dancer averaging 80 pairs per season, their pointe shoe budget adds up quickly. But the artistry is worth the expense! From Odile’s 32 fouettés, to the corps de ballet in Emergence, the Snow Scene in The Nutcracker, and everything in between, pointe shoes deliver confidence, security, and balance to the dancers who wear them as well as to PNB as a whole.

This past May, thousands of Philadelphia Ballet‘s pointe shoes were damaged by water and smoke as a result of a fire that affected their studios on North Broad. This unexpected event caused nearly $400,000 of damage to their inventory. This represents more than one year’s worth of pointe shoes.
Philadelphia Ballet is in urgent need of support to replace these damaged pointe shoes. Sponsor the shoes that help our dancers soar!

It takes a lot to keep Texas Ballet Theater‘s dancers’ toes pointed and their bodies in motion.

The Annual Fund helps to perpetuate community projects like City Dance, Adaptive Dance, and Dance Extension. These programs bring ballet to over 30,000 children across North Texas.
