Hello, FDT Family & Friends!

The 2021-2022 season is in full swing. Our company returned on August 30th, and rehearsals have taken off for the largest performance of the year, The Nutcracker.

With this event quickly approaching, we are excitedly putting together all the elements for a tremendous holiday season. Our goal is to make this year’s Nutcracker event the best one yet. We have all gone through, and many are still going through, one of the most trying times in our generation. Why not use the arts to inspire hope and refresh our communities? To do this, we need your help in securing event sponsors.

We are asking each family to connect with family, friends, local businesses or organizations to help us secure minimum donations of $250 on or before November 30th. Each sponsor will receive recognition in the program, on our website, upcoming newsletters and our social media channels. Florida Dance Theatre is a 501(c)(3) and all charitable donations are tax deductible.

With gratitude,


Jermaine Thornton, Executive Director
