Today we celebrate our Collage Dance dads and father figures whose love, encouragement, and steady support help make every achievement possible.

Whether you're cheering from the audience, driving to rehearsals, volunteering your time, or offering a listening ear after a long day, you help create the foundation that allows our dancers to thrive.

Thank you for helping shape confident artists, resilient young people, and bright futures.

Happy Father's Day from the Collage Dance family. 💙

As Season 16 comes to a close, we're reflecting on a year filled with artistry, growth, community, and possibility.

From the stage to the studio, from our youngest Conservatory students to adult dancers discovering the joy of movement, this season was made possible by people who believe in the power of dance to transform lives.

Every performance, every class, every breakthrough moment, and every standing ovation tells a larger story about what's possible when a community invests in its artists and young people.

As we approach June 30, we're working to close out our fiscal year strong. If Collage Dance has inspired, moved, or impacted you this season, we hope you'll consider making a gift and helping us end Season 16 on a sweet note.

🍭✨ Our SOLD-OUT performance of Charlene and the Chocolate Factory takes the stage this afternoon, and we can’t wait to welcome our guests to experience a world of pure imagination. ✨🍫

Through months of dedication, imagination, and preparation, our students have worked so hard to create a super sweet performance filled with wonder, joy, and candy-coated delight.

🍭To ensure ample time for parking, ticketing, and seating, we strongly recommend all guests arrive by 2:30 p.m. Guests arriving after the 3:00 p.m. start of the performance will be seated at intermission only. ✨No exceptions.✨

For 16 seasons, Collage has helped young people rise through discipline, excellence, creativity, and opportunity.

100% of our seniors matriculate to college or professional training programs, and our latest graduating class earned more than $4 million in scholarships.

As public support shrinks, the need grows. Before June 30, we’re raising $75,000 to sustain scholarships, training, performances, and programs that continue changing lives across Memphis.

This is bigger than ballet. It’s about what’s possible when young people are supported, challenged, and believed in. 💙

Join us in helping the next generation rise. Give before June 30 at collagedance.org.

🍭✨ Charlene and the Chocolate Factory, our annual student concert taking place Sunday, May 31st at the Cannon Center, is nearly sold out!✨🍬

Happy Mother’s Day to our incredible Collage Dance moms! 💐💕

Today, we celebrate the love, strength, sacrifice, and encouragement you pour into your children each day.

Behind every class, rehearsal, performance, milestone, and moment of growth is a mother, grandmother, guardian, or caregiver helping nurture confidence, discipline, creativity, and joy.

Thank you for the countless ways you show up for your children and for our community.
