Your support contributes to building a strong dance sector in San Jose!

San Jose Dance Theatre has been a key contributor to the San Francisco Bay Area art scene for over 55 years.

San Jose Dance Theatre’s Mission is to foster the art of dance through our annual production of the Nutcracker San Jose. While dancer participation fees and ticket sales support the ongoing production, donations enable us to update costumes and sets, support our ability to have a live orchestra, and help us to provide financial-need based scholarships for students and full tuition scholarships for boys. We greatly appreciate your donation!

The Nutcracker Boat Fund

The HMS Dream is taking on water! San Jose Dance Theatre needs your help to fund a brand new Nutshell boat for our annual Nutcracker. Our Nutcracker is a San Jose holiday tradition that welcomes thousands of guests each year. Clara and The Nutcracker travel to the kingdom of sweets on this Nutshell boat, which is integral to the production.

San Jose Dance Theatre’s core Mission is to maintain excellence in ballet and contemporary dance training & performances and provide innovative opportunities for dancers of all levels. While dancer participation fees and ticket sales support the ongoing production, donations enable us to update costumes and sets, support our ability to have a live orchestra, and help us to provide financial-need based scholarships for students and full tuition scholarships for boys. We greatly appreciate your donation!

Donor Program

Our performances, outreach programs and academy bring the art of dance to the San Francisco Bay Area. We are passionate about being arts leaders in our city and catering for all members of our community.

Through school visits, Girl Scouts workshops, and highly discounted performances, we bring the art form to the wider communities and demographics which don’t have the opportunity to engage in dance.

In 2023 we will celebrate our 58th year as the major dance organization for San Jose. 

These services to the Bay community have continued through the decades thanks to our dancers, volunteers, and donors.

Any donation you can provide will be appreciated.
