Our Donors & Sponsors

 

 

We are deeply grateful to our donors, whose generosity helps SDW realize its mission to pioneer dance-theatre experiences that radically redesign what is possible in performance—advancing accessibility not as accommodation, but as artistic practice. Thank you for helping us work tirelessly toward a more equitable dance-theatre community and world. On behalf of everyone at ShaLeigh Dance Works, we are so thankful for the part you play in making this happen. We could not accomplish our goals without the support, involvement, and enthusiasm of these committed supporters!
