Support The Arts

"The famous writer Fyodor Dostoevsky once said, “Beauty will save the world!” These words have been the driving force for my life and have shaped the International Ballet Theatre for the last quarter century. Every decision we make is built upon these words. They are our foundation.

 

Upon this foundation, our company has built three pillars: tradition, innovation, and the belief in a better future. For over two decades, IBT has strived to uphold these pillars using the beauty of dance. 

 

As an ambassador of the arts, my mission is to connect and educate our community and the world at large with traditional ballet that is over 100 years old. By remembering the past, we can learn to make a better future for the generations before us. Yet a better world cannot be built solely on the past, which is why our company continues to explore innovative new work that has been built upon the techniques and traditions of the past. 

 

With your generous support, we will continue to strive for a better future—a future filled with beauty, art, and dance!"​

​

         -Vera Altunina, Artistic Director

These caring individuals demonstrate their passion for and commitment to International Ballet Theatre through generous annual contributions of $1,000 and more. With ticket sales covering only half of the costs associated with maintaining our Premier Classical Ballet Company, we rely on members of The Artistic Director Circle to provide a critical source of the funding necessary to cover IBT’s operational and programming expenses.
