The struggles that go along with growth and expansion in the arts can only be alleviated by committed partners.  As partners who believe in the power of the arts and the long-term effect it brings to the lives of people, your support in CBT's labor of love will truly make a difference.  Help us reach for tomorrow.

Your tax-deductible gift will help further our work to build dedication, determination, and discipline in our youth and young adults through dance training.  Ticket revenues and other earned income provide about half of the funds necessary to bring our quality dance performances and training programs to the community.  By providing donations and sponsorships to City Ballet Theatre, you can help CBT achieve its mission of "Growing great dancers!"
