”Giving Kids a Chance through Dance”
2016 – 2017

Ballet Theatre Company is excited to bring our magical Nutcracker to the Greater Hartford Area for its 15th year. BTC is seeking your support to help to continue to bring this and other performances, classes, and community outreach programs to children across the greater Hartford community. Ballet Theatre Company (BTC) is a 501c3 not for profit organization, based in WestHartford, Connecticut, supporting the arts and children in the greater Hartford community. Since its founding in 1999, Ballet Theatre Company (BTC) has become firmly established as a significant contributor to Greater Hartford’s cultural community. BTC meets the needs of an underserved segment of the dance community by providing professional performance and training for dancers on the threshold of a full dance career.

BTC’s training division provides classical dance training in ballet and other disciplines for young dancers. Children who are enrolled in classes at BTA also have the opportunity to dance in professionally developed performances. Each year Ballet Theatre Company stages at least two full length productions where BTA dancers perform with professional dancers.

A key component of Ballet Theatre Company’s mission is enrich our community by offering dance performances, dance education, and performance opportunities to those who might not otherwise be able to participate, especially children. Through its Children’s Enrichment Program (CEP), the Company introduces area children to live theater and classical dance.

Each year, through the generous sponsorship of its patrons, the CEP brings hundreds of underserved children from the GreaterHartford area to holiday performances of Nutcracker. From fifty children in 2003, when the program began, the special Nutcracker performances have grown each year and in 2015 accommodated 900 children. In addition to free performances, dance workshop classes are offered each year to the children in organizations such as the HANOC (Hillcrest Area Neighborhood Outreach Center) program. For those HANOC children who develop a passion and commitment to ballet, BTC offers scholarships to BTC.

By supporting BTC, you will have the opportunity to be credited and noticed within the community and beyond. Your recognition will be seen by thousands including those who visit our website and attendees to our numerous productions and performances throughout the year.
