Asheville Dance Needs Your Support

The end of September 2024 forever changed many of our lives and communities, and like many other businesses, Asheville Dance Theater closed our doors for several weeks. Our building was not damaged; however, some of our studio families lost homes, vehicles, friends and classmates.

Our dance travel trailer, props accumulated over more than 15 years of dance, trophies to be given to dancers at future recitals and costumes were stored on Swannanoa River Road. To those in the Asheville area, you know that road was washed away with the storage building receiving ceiling-high waters. Our trailer, along with everything stored in it and the storage unit, is gone. The vast array of lost props took years and money to build. Our dedicated parents worked tirelessly, and each prop held special memories. Insurance is not covering anything that was lost.

We plan to build some basic props for this year and need a trailer to haul them to competitions and recital performances. We are asking for your help to get us started. Any amount big or small will help us. Thank you!
