CCB does not believe that financial limitations should be an obstacle to dance, so we provide several outreach opportunities:  Scholarship Program, Free Voucher Program, and Free Community Events.  We also strongly believe in collaboration in the local arts community, fusing dance with other art forms in Fort Collins to bring dance to more people and make dance more accessible.  Learn more about our Collaborations:

Collaborations

With every company show, Canyon Concert Ballet partners with at least one other local artist or arts group.  In the 2017-18 season, we partnered with NoCo Artists for our Ballet, Bach, & Beer production; the Fort Collins Symphony Orchestra and Centennial Children’s Chorus for our The Nutcracker production; and local pianist Silvana Santinelli for our spring production of Les Sylphides & Etudes.

This season, we have partnered with local dancers Matthew and Madeline Harvey, Larimer Chorale, and local artist Matthew Mahern for our 2^nd Annual Ballet & Beer production, will once again partner with the Fort Collins Symphony and Centennial Children’s Chorus for The Nutcracker, and are partnering with local dancers Jenna Smith and Isaac Mueller for our spring production of The Little Mermaid.

CCB firmly believes that collaboration is key to exciting the community and bringing dance to new audiences.  It is a core part of our mission and a key piece in providing dance performances to Northern Colorado.

Free Voucher Program

This season, Canyon Concert Ballet is providing up to 500 free vouchers to our Nutcracker matinees on December 1, 2018 at the Lincoln Center.  Students on free and reduced lunch and students who have never seen a ballet are being targeted at both local charter schools and in partnership with Poudre School District arts teachers.

In addition to K-12 students in the local community, CCB has also partnered with Colorado State University’s C-Sharp study, which focuses on the impacts of attending performing arts events on the cognitive performance, well-being, and quality of life for people with cognitive impairments like dementia.  In this partnership, CCB is providing 60 free tickets (30 to The Nutcracker, and 30 to The Little Mermaid) for people with cognitive impairments to see the performances and be part of this very important study.
