The Asheville Ballet

Due to Hurricane Helene, the oldest non-profit ballet company in North Carolina, The Asheville Ballet, directed by Ann Dunn, has sustained severe damage to its building, costumes, and sets. Dancers, staff, families, and audience members know the magic and love that fuels the Academy as well as the Ballet Company. Let us keep the magic going to help The Asheville Ballet rebuild as quickly as possible. All funds will go directly to The Asheville Academy of Ballet and Contemporary Dance and rebuilding efforts.
