Minnesota Dance Theatre & School

As the cornerstone of classical ballet training in Minnesota, MDT creates and inspires the next generation of classical and contemporary dancers through superior and inclusive dance education, performance, and academics.

Today, your support plays a vital role in helping us educate and uplift the next generation. 

Your gift of any amount helps support MDT's mission

 MDT offers scholarships to many need based students. Your gift helps ensure that all dancers who want to study the art of classical and contemporary ballet can do so regardless of socioeconomic barriers.

 We provide performance opportunities for our dancers throughout the year. Your gift helps facilitate the creation of new creative works to be performed and shared with the community.

Our classes have live accompaniment and your gift employs musicians who bring the music and dance to life.

 MDT is in its eighth year of our CAN Dance program, a tuition free outreach program that provides students an introduction to dance over the course of 12 weeks of classes and culminates in an end of session performance. Your gift helps provide sustainability to this meaningful program.

Give to the Max donations contribute to our overall fundraising goals. This fall we are excited to share that MDT leadership and the Board of Directors will match donations up to $25,000. Help us to meet our goal by November 21, 2024!

Thank you to our entire MDT community for your continued support!
