From the elegance of a ballerina en pointe to the powerful leaps of a dancer on flats, your most cherished moments at Philadelphia Ballet are brought to life by the shoes that support every step.
Pointe shoes and flat shoes allow ballet dancers to transcend their earthly limits—each movement a testament to grace, strength, and years of dedication. On February 11—Philadelphia Ballet Giving Day— we invite you to support these essential tools that make every performance possible.
Will you help ensure our dancers have the shoes they need to continue captivating audiences, season after season?
One pair of pointe shoes for a PB company member
Two pairs of pointe shoes for a PB company member
Two dancer’s pointe shoes for one week of rehearsals and performances
Three dancers’ pointe shoes for one week of rehearsals and performances
Pointe shoes for all PB ballerinas for one performance
Every contribution helps provide the specialized footwear our dancers rely on to rehearse, perform, and bring powerful stories to the stage. Now, your support can make DOUBLE the difference! All donations this Giving Day will be matched, thanks to a generous gift from an anonymous donor!
“Your donation helps keep us dancing. If we didn’t have shoes, we couldn’t dance at all. We greatly appreciate donations that keep us on stage.”
—Isaac Hollis, The Liz and Henry Harris Soloist
