Sponsor the Barrington Dance Ensemble
Barrington Dance Ensemble (BDE) invites businesses, families, and individuals to become sponsors and partners in bringing the magic of dance to our community.
Founded in 1989, Barrington Dance Ensemble is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring the community through exceptional dance education, performance, and scholarship. Each season, BDE brings together talented young dancers, professional guest artists, and hundreds of local performers to create memorable performances that enrich the cultural life of our community.
Your sponsorship helps make these experiences possible. From providing young dancers with extraordinary performance opportunities to bringing professional-quality productions to local audiences, your generosity makes a lasting difference.
Sponsorship Opportunities
BDE offers a variety of sponsorship opportunities throughout the year, providing meaningful ways to support our organization while connecting your business or family with the local community.
BDE’s Annual Gala
Our annual Gala is BDE's largest fundraising event of the year, hosted at the beautiful Sanfilippo Estate. Gala sponsorships support BDE's year-round programming, scholarships, community outreach, and future productions. Sponsors receive recognition throughout the event and opportunities to connect with an engaged and generous audience.
The Nutcracker
A highlight of the holiday season, BDE's production of The Nutcracker delights audiences of all ages. Featuring professional guest artists, BDE company members, and more than 100 local performers, this treasured production brings the magic of Clara's journey to life.
Nutcracker sponsorships help offset the significant costs of producing this large-scale performance, including professional artists, costumes, sets, theater rental, and technical production. Sponsors play an important role in keeping this beloved holiday tradition accessible to our community.
Spring Ballet
Each spring, BDE presents a classical ballet from our repertoire on a rotating basis. The productions feature our talented company dancers, professional guest artists, and young performers from the surrounding community.
Spring ballet sponsorships help bring these beautiful productions to the stage while supporting exceptional training and performance opportunities for young dancers.
