Dancer Sponsorships

American Repertory Ballet (ARB) is proud of our dynamic professional dancers from around the world.

Through the newly created ARB Dancer Fund, sponsorship opportunities are available to support the salaries and benefits of these Company artists, in addition to physical therapy, pointe shoes, visa expenses (if applicable), and the like.

Is there a dancer whose work resonates with you or whose performances inspire you? Now you can champion your favorite, whether that dancer is an emerging artist or a longtime Company member. Or, if you are a fan of the entire Company, you can make a gift in honor of all the dancers.

Sponsors will be recognized in performance programs and on the ARB website as supporters of the Dancer Fund. Sponsors may also receive:

  • Invitations to various receptions, and in-studio or stage rehearsals
  • A backstage meet & greet
  • Signed shoes and/or an autographed photo 
  • Coffee or lunch with the dancer


Two levels of sponsorship* are available:


Company Artist Sponsorships

$10,000 annually (or $5,000 for the Spring 2025 season)

New Dancer Sponsorships

$7,500 annually (or $3,750 for the Spring 2025 season)

Apprentice:

*Each dancer may be sponsored by up to two supporters. A Dancer Sponsorship is valid for one full year (July – June) and may be renewed for subsequent years. If there are changes to the Company roster for any reason, a Sponsorship will be transferred to a different dancer. Gifts to the Dancer Fund are made in addition to any annual fund or special event support.
