When you choose to give to Novus, you become part of something bigger – something powerful.
Selah Dance Collective and Novus Contemporary Ballet are excited to announce the opening of our new shared rehearsal and training space. This studio will serve as a creative home for our professional dancers, trainees, youth programs, community classes, and collaborative performances — a place where artists and audiences can connect through movement.
We will receive the keys to the new space on March 1, and before rehearsals can begin, we must complete essential building upgrades — including installing a safe professional rehearsal floor. To make this possible, we are launching a 10-day campaign to raise $6,000 to complete these immediate improvements.
Every donation — and every merchandise purchase — goes directly toward building upgrades that will allow dancers to train, rehearse, and create safely in this new artistic home.
Help Us Build Our New Dance Home
Why This Space Matters
This new studio represents more than a rehearsal room. It is:
A shared creative home for Selah Dance Collective and Novus Contemporary Ballet, alongside other performing arts organizations, in a shared space
A training space for emerging dancers in our education and professional development programs
A gathering place for community workshops, performances, and collaborations
A long-term investment in the sustainability of dance in our region
With your support, we can ensure that our artists have the safe, professional environment they need to create their next season of work.
