Our 2024 Giving Campaign has begun and your gift will help us grow!

Ballet Kelowna delivers compelling and inspiring performances to regional, national, and international audiences. We envision a place where the performance and practice of dance is fundamental to our Canadian identity.

We depend on your support to provide a solid foundation so we can realize our vision. Costs are not covered by ticket sales alone, so we invite you to become a valued member of and contributor to the Kelowna Ballet Society. As a contributor, you can take pride in the knowledge that you are an integral part of Ballet Kelowna’s continued success and are supporting the growth of dance in the Okanagan, the province, and beyond. 

We have ambitious plans for the 2024/25 season including the commissioning of new works by visionary Canadian choreographers, extensive tours in BC and Quebec, and more community events and dance classes.

Help us reach our $75,000 campaign goal by making a tax-deductible contribution by June 30, 2024.
