An Afternoon of Dance and Music
to support OSB Foundation Scholarship Fund
Join us on October 25 at 4:00 PM for a beautiful afternoon of live music, dance, and community — all in support of the Ocean State Ballet Foundation.
Quality dance education can be life-changing, but for many talented young dancers, the cost of serious training can become a barrier. The Ocean State Ballet Foundation is committed to helping make high-quality ballet education and performance opportunities accessible to young dancers whose families may not otherwise be able to afford them.
Your support helps a young dancer continue training, grow as an artist, and pursue opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.
But the Foundation's mission goes beyond supporting individual dancers. It also helps bring exceptional artists, choreographers, musicians, and new works to our community in Providence. By supporting the Foundation, you are helping create more opportunities for young dancers to experience and participate in inspiring professional-level art right here at home.
Come enjoy an afternoon featuring live music, beautiful dance, light hors d'oeuvres, and a cash bar, while helping us build a stronger future for dance in our community.
Every ticket, every donation, and every show of support makes a difference.
