Pointe Shoe Fund

Join us in supporting the graceful art of ballet by contributing to our Dance With Us pointe shoe fund. At Joburg Ballet, our dancers rely on these essential tools of the trade to express themselves on stage, but the high costs can be a challenge. With your help, we can ensure our dancers have the support they need to continue captivating audiences with their stunning performances.

With your support through the Dance With Us campaign, we can ensure that Joburg Ballet continues to thrive and inspire audiences with the beauty and grace of ballet. Together, let's make a difference one step at a time!
It’s easy!
