Sponsoring a dancer with a gift to Milwaukee Ballet helps to ensure that our immensely talented artists have support throughout the season as they perform and bring the joy of dance to our community.

Donors can be recognized as a dancer sponsor with a certain level of gift or above.
Sponsorships run for the entire season and include exclusive incentives.

Sponsor Incentives

There are perks to being a dancer sponsor! Beyond the pride in knowing you are supporting our artists, you may also receive special recognition and other opportunities throughout the season (pending availability and performance or rehearsal scheduling).

  • Listing alongside dancer’s bio on website and in performance programs
  • Opportunities to meet the dancer
  • Backstage tour prior to a season performance
  • Invitation to post-performance receptions with dancers and Artistic Director Michael Pink
  • Invitations to rehearsal viewings at Baumgartner Center for Dance
  • Regular updates on dancer’s roles, community engagement activities and other endeavors

Sponsor incentives are not considered goods and services; sponsorship gifts are tax
deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
