The Denver Ballet Guild is happy to sponsor the 37^th Young Dancers Competition, which will take place at the Pinnacle Charter School Performing Arts Complex, 1001 West 84^th Avenue, Federal Heights, Colorado 80260 on March 6, 7, and 8, 2020. This competition is one of the longest running classical ballet performance competitions for young dancers in the country and we award over $25,000.00 to talented young dancers.

The goals of the competition are to recognize excellence in Colorado dancers and provide an opportunity for further enrichment of their art. A nationally recognized Master Teacher will conduct all classes.  A panel of highly respected judges from the international dance community will observe and score students as they work through their master class and variations and will select finalists from Categories II, III, IV, and V for award consideration.

We would love to invite the Guild Members to consider volunteering for this unique Denver Ballet Guild event that concludes with beautiful performances by the finalists and an awards ceremony.

There are many moving parts to this event and our volunteers are the key to making the Young Dancers Competition a success.  You could be involved in registering the dancers, food setup, ticket sales, flower preparation, tee-shirt distribution, theater setup for the finals and awards presentation, and escorting dancers to and from the dance studio, stage, and theater.

The competition takes place over an entire weekend and we need volunteers for half days or full days.

The times of the event are:

March 6^th  2:00-11:00

March 7^th  8:00-8:00

March 8^th  9:00-4:00

I hope that some of you will consider joining us for this very special event.

Very Sincerely,

Karen Crossman
