2020-21 Sponsorship Opportunities

September 15, 2020 by Canyon Concert Ballet

Your sponsorship support will help secure the financial viability of Canyon Concert Ballet and will ensure that we continue to present future generations in Northern Colorado with exceptional dance and ballet opportunities.  Sponsorship Opportunities include:

Program Advertising

Each year, Canyon Concert Ballet offers businesses in Fort Collins the opportunity to reach over 10,000 young families, seniors, and patrons of the arts with a highly targeted message.  Ads are in full color and included in all four programs in our season. We are proud to be safely offering our full season this year, and ads this year will also be included in our online, interactive programs!

 Spring Gala Sponsorship

Our 1920s Adult Prom will be held on a Saturday in early April 2021 at the Colorado State University Stadium. This unique event is sure to be the most talked about event of spring! Over 250 guests will get the chance to relive Prom with dinner, dancing, drinks, auctions, and entertainment. 

Dress Rehearsal Sponsorship

Individuals or companies wishing to have an extra special night with guests and/or clients can sponsor the final dress rehearsal of either The Nutcracker or our Spring Ballet Production of a storybook ballet.  Dress Rehearsal sponsors will have full access to the lobby and theater the night of the rehearsal, and be able to invite up to 1,000 guests to attend the performance.  If an audience of that size is not allowed at the time of the show, a virtual party will also be offered with a live stream link to send to your guests! A great way to support the arts and have your own private party!

To learn more and secure your sponsorship, check out our sponsorship packet here. Thank you!

Ballet & Beer: Latin Nights

September 1, 2020 by Canyon Concert Ballet

Friday, September 25 at 6:30pm and at 8:00pm

At The Lyric Cinema, 1209 N. College Ave, Fort Collins

Canyon Concert Ballet is thrilled to kick off our 41st season with our 4th annual Ballet & Beer: Latin Nights!

This year’s Ballet & Beer will be a celebration of Latin music, the beautiful Lyric Cinema, and of course, lots of dancing. Premieres of new works by Analía Alegre-Femenías Weber and Jenna Smith will take audiences on a journey through a variety of dance styles, including the traditional Puerto Rican dance “The Bomba”. Grab your favorite dance partner, because audiences will have the chance to participate (safely) in the fun! The evening will take place outdoors, and will be safely distanced.

Appropriate for all ages! Tickets are non-refundable, and the show will happen rain or shine (extreme weather where it is no longer safe for the dancers will cancel the performance). The show is outside and will be one hour long.

Attendees are required to wear masks and socially distance from other groups/attendees. Please bring your own chairs/blankets for seating. Please do not attend if you are not feeling well or have any COVID symptoms.

Thank you to Fort Fund and Colorado Creative Industries for their support!

More information and tickets available here!
