My Project

This winter, our high school dance program will retell the enchanting story of The Snow Queen through the art of dance. Featuring ballet, jazz, modern, hip-hop, and West African styles, this performance will bring a classic tale to life in a unique and exciting way. To make this production truly magical, we need your help to provide costumes and props, to capture the story’s magic. Silk fans will symbolize the flowing river in one of the key scenes, while costumes will help define the characters and themes of this beloved tale. With matching donations on December 3, now is the perfect time to support our production!

Props and costumes are more than stage decorations—they immerse both performers and the audience in the world of the story.

Silk fans, for instance, will add a breathtaking visual element to the river dance, while tutus and more will allow dancers to embody their roles as characters in The Snow Queen. These items will inspire creativity, boost confidence, and enhance the overall experience for students and viewers alike.

Your support will have a lasting impact, as many of these items can be reused for future performances, continuing to enrich our dance program.

This winter, we’ll bring The Snow Queen to life through the power of dance, but we need your help to make the magic happen. By donating to our project, you’ll give our dancers the opportunity to tell this timeless tale with confidence and pride. Thank you for supporting the arts and helping us create an unforgettable experience!
