Vail Friends of Dance (VFOD) is an Eagle County, Colorado nonprofit dedicated to developing, supporting, and inspiring young dancers and teachers from all backgrounds by providing accessible opportunities, equitable resources, and 
an inclusive environment that fosters artistic excellence.

​

As a 501(c) 3, Vail Friends of Dance raises funds that go directly to providing dance education, financial assistance and performance opportunities. VFOD supports the Vail Valley Academy of Dance and Vail Youth Ballet Company by contributing time and funding for artistic directors, studio space, choreography, master classes, performances, theater rental, costumes, storage, production, financial aid, scholarships, social events and teacher continuing education. 

​

The Vail Youth Ballet Company’s signature performances include the annual holiday favorite, “The Nutcracker”, with 4 performances every December
at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek, Colorado. 

Other performances include Spring Showcase and a full-length ballet,
taking place in April and May.

​

We could not provide the level of support that we do, without the gracious contributions of the greater community.  We ask that you please consider sponsoring our mission by making a direct donation to the VFOD’s efforts in supporting dance in the Vail Valley. 
We are passionate about the art form and the dancers to whom we dedicate our efforts are grateful to those in the community who believe in supporting our mission as well.

​

​We believe in the inherent dignity and worth of every individual and are dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our operations. This commitment extends to our volunteers, dancers, teachers and anyone involved with Vail Friends of Dance. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age,

or veteran status.
