$8,000 Goal

At Avant Chamber Ballet we are passionate about two things - 

First - creating new and relevant works of performing art here locally in Dallas.

Second - to  perform those works of art for our community - both at the wonderful theaters we have built in the Dallas Arts District but also to bring that art to Dallas communities that don’t normally attend traditional performances. 

We are committed to presenting our free classes, workshops and performances all over Dallas and meeting people in their neighborhoods to make art easily accessible for everyone. 

We truly believe that our art should reflect the city of Dallas and that what we create belongs to everyone, not just traditional patrons of the arts. 

Our Needs

Avant Chamber Ballet is currently raising funds for our 2023-24 Season - both performances and free First Steps classes! 

Each week ACB reaches over 100 young people with free classes who otherwise would not be able to afford or have access to dance training. These dancers receive free dance shoes and also the opportunity to perform in a student roll in ACB's production of The Nutcracker at Moody Performance Hall with live orchestra! 

Your donation will support the artists of ACB and all of our community programs that brings art to all parts of Dallas! 

Mission

The mission of Avant Chamber Ballet is to bring exceptional live music and dance together for audiences in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

Needs

Avant Chamber Ballet is in need of funds to continue our free performances and classes as well as underwrite our large scale productions that are funded through donors, grants and ticket sales.

Your donation will go directly towards the dancers, musicians, and teachers or ACB!
