Support Us
Valley Dance Theatre is entirely volunteer-run. Every gift — cash, in-kind, or an hour of your time — goes straight into scholarships, productions and free outreach shows.
Ticket sales never cover the full cost of a live-orchestra production. Donations fund scholarships, sets, costumes and our free school outreach performances. Valley Dance Theatre is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Tax ID 94-3089998.
Where it goes
Kristin Reams Bettencourt Memorial Scholarship
Since 1998, this fund has covered dance classes, attire and pointe shoes for three students each year who might not otherwise be able to afford them. It's one of the most direct ways your gift changes a dancer's path.
