NoCo Swing Dance Supports the Dancers of Canyon Concert Ballet
It is with great sadness that Canyon Concert Ballet has announced the immediate closure of the school and ballet company here in Fort Collins. It is even more sad because one of NoCo Swing Dance’s major contributors, Sophia Asta, was a member of the company and will be impacted by this disappointing news.
In order to support Sophia and the former dancers of Canyon Concert Ballet, all profits and any donations this evening will go towards the dancer’s independent fundraiser for their final show. Fortunately for us there will be a final performance on the weekend of May 22-24th. You can find more information as well as ticketing and donation here.
