MONDAY NIGHT JAZZ CLASS

FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE

Saint Louis Dance Theatre's Monday Night Jazz Class with Brandon Fink is part of STLDT's open studio program—where people of all experience levels can enjoy dance, regardless of background or training. These classes create moments of joy, connection, and self-expression for everyone who participates. Now, students in this class are using that shared love of dance for something bigger—a campaign to make sure everyone in our community can experience the power of performances by STLDT's professional dance company.

-->We're asking for your support in a friendly fundraising challenge: STLDT's Monday Night Jazz Class against our Saturday Morning Ballet Class! Your gift doesn't just help our class win—it opens doors for people who might otherwise never experience the magic of live performance.

THE IMPACT OF YOUR DONATION

For our community: Your gift funds "pay-what-you-can" performances and free tickets for youth programs, breaking down financial barriers that keep too many from experiencing world-class dance. Imagine a child seeing their first professional dance performance, seniors finding joy through movement, or a family attending together when cost would have otherwise made it impossible.

For St. Louis: A vibrant arts scene makes our city stronger, more connected, and more alive. By supporting STLDT, you're helping make St. Louis a place where arts and culture thrive.

For the dancers you know: The joy, strength, and community found through STLDT's open studio classes is available to anyone—these classes welcome people of all experience levels who want to explore dance. Your support acknowledges the importance of dance while extending similar opportunities to others through the STLDT’s community programs.

For yourself: See your impact in action! Come to Saint Louis Dance Theatre's professional company performance on Community Night, June 1st at COCA sponsored by Reliant Supply Group, and experience firsthand what your donation helped create. Feel the energy of a diverse audience enjoying world-class dance together, and know you made it possible. It's not just about watching STLDT's professional dancers perform—it's about being part of something meaningful that brings our community together.
