Support us

Your contribution makes a difference.

Every project and student we help, every uniform and ballet shoe we provide comes at a price. Without skilled teachers, choreographers, mentors and artists, our Foundation would not be able to offer all the dance services we deliver. That is why now, more than ever, your contribution through donations, small and large, is so essential to us.

Whenever you make a gift to the Acosta Dance Foundation, become a Supporter or a Patron or leave a gift in your will, you play a paramount role in changing hundreds of children’s and young adult’s lives by allowing them to have a career in dance.

Give more – Get more.

Your gift to the Acosta Dance Foundation will support entire communities, not just one organization. In our more than a decade of history, the ADF has invested enormous funds in supporting, strengthening and introducing dance to the most deprived areas of Cuba. Now, our work will extend to those unrepresented within the dance industry in the UK.
Our grants translate to creating dancers without the possibility of studying the art form, impactful Residencies & Fellowships, Community engagement initiatives & Educational Programmes, Ballet Camps and much more.

Partnerships

The Acosta Dance Foundation believes in the power of cooperation and the need to collaborate to plug gaps in specialisms, knowledge & skills.

To continue our international remit of creating a dancer in every home and making dance accessible to the unrepresented, we now, more than ever, wish to join forces with cultural, social and commercial partners.

Whoever collaborates with the Acosta Dance Foundation will make an essential contribution to developing the dance cultural climate within the international community. Our Foundation offers several opportunities to connect with the international dance scene & as our partner, you will play a pivotal role in building a dynamic and globally renowned dance organisation by taking part in an inclusive & innovative network.

We focus our work and activities by reflecting on the needs of those marginalised in the dance sector and broader society – especially those needing our support because of their origins, disability or age. 

Our partnership will guarantee high visibility of your company or brand as we offer the best platform within the dance scene by making you part of a select network of dance companies, schools, organisations and the cultural world.

If you want to know more about the possibilities of working with us, get in touch now!
