Joburg Ballet is taking a unique approach to raising funds for its Pointe Shoe programme by collaborating with renowned artist Guy du Toit, who has created a stunning ‘Cygnets’ sculpture to be awarded to donors during the RMB Latitudes Art Fair.
The Pointe Shoe programme is essential for the development of South Africa’s rising ballet stars, providing them with the necessary equipment to hone their craft. With the cost of pointe shoes being a significant expense, the programme relies on donations to support these young dancers.
Supporting South African Ballet
The RMB Latitudes Art Fair, which will take place in Johannesburg, is an ideal platform for Joburg Ballet to showcase its talent and raise awareness about the importance of supporting the arts in South Africa. By partnering with Guy du Toit, the ballet company aims to not only raise funds but also promote the value of art and dance in the country.
According to the Wikipedia page on ballet, the art form has a rich history and requires a great deal of dedication and hard work. The Pointe Shoe programme is a vital part of this process, and the support of donors is crucial to its success.
