Partners in Dance

Become a founding member of PARTNERS IN DANCE!

Partners in Dance gives you the opportunity to celebrate your love of Ballet, support the artistic vision of Margaret Mullin, Ballet Tucson’s Artistic Director, and go behind-the-scenes of Ballet Tucson.

Become a founding member and join these other visionaries who have made a three-year commitment of financial support, providing the foundation for the future growth of Ballet Tucson, your professional dance company. With your pledge of $5,000-$15,000 annually, over a three year period, Partners in Dance may receive: dancer or repertory sponsorship options at the appropriate level; behind-the-scenes tours; invitations to in-studio master classes and rehearsals; premiere seating at the Leo Rich and the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall with your subscription; early reservation period to the Sugar Plum Tea and other special events with the Artistic Director and the dancers. Capping the season will be a cocktail reception celebration at the home of Fran and Jim Allen, who brought the concept of Partners in Dance to Ballet Tucson.
