Sponsor a Dancer

Behind every breathtaking performance is an artist who has dedicated a lifetime to their craft. Oregon Ballet Theatre’s Sponsor a Dancer program gives donors the opportunity to make a direct investment in the extraordinary artists who bring our productions to life each season.

Your sponsorship helps provide the resources dancers need to perform at the highest level—from world-class training and artistic coaching to costumes, pointe shoes, wellness support, and the countless hours of rehearsal that transform movement into magic.

While sponsors do not provide financial support directly to an individual dancer, your gift helps ensure that OBT can recruit, retain, and support exceptional artists while creating unforgettable performances for our community.

By sponsoring a dancer, you become an essential partner in their artistic journey and in the future of ballet in Oregon.

Sponsor support helps fund:

• Professional dancer salaries
• Health and wellness programs
• Pointe shoes and dance footwear
• Costumes and maintenance
• Guest coaches and choreographers
• Studio rehearsal space
• Artistic development
• Performance preparation
