John Ottmann, Artistic Director of the Quinte Ballet School of Canada (QBSC), has brought a new artistic vision to one of Canada’s leading dance training institutions. His career has given him many wonderful opportunities and he is excited to share his knowledge and experience with the fine young dancers of QBSC.  He is confident that, with support, the future will be promising as the School moves into a new chapter of its history.

To create that future for its students, QBSC is acively looking for individuals who are inspired to support the bright young hearts and minds of tomorrow. Support is crucial to sustain the present activities, as well as enable QBSC to move forward.  Help is needed to continue to provide the highest quality education for students, develop performance opportunities, as well as offer scholarships for talented students who cannot afford tuition.

Funding from granting bodies and tuition cover only a marginal percentage of QBSC's needs.  Donations have long been critical to the success of professional ballet schools. You are invited to join the QBSC family and help us achieve our 2010 goal of raising $100,000.00. 

You may designate your gift to:

• Scholarship Fund
• New Nutcracker Production
• Guest Teacher Workshops

QBSC would be honoured to acknowledge your donation in the following ways:

•  Advance ticket sales to all performances
• Invitation to the dress rehearsal for all performances

• Placement of your name on the Donor Wall in the main entry of QBSC’s studios (donations of $1,000 or more)
