Denver Ballet Guild & Young Dancer's Competition

Since 1979, the Denver Ballet Guild has been a cultural force in Denver by pursuing its mission to support dance as a performing art. 

The Guild was established to “stimulate interest in ballet and other forms of dance; to promote dance at all levels; to conduct dance education; to develop audiences; to conduct fundraising activities to support and promote dance; and dispose of the same for such purposes.”

In 1981, Denver Ballet Guild’s first president and guiding light, Florence Ruston, founded the Young Dancer’s Competition.  This event offers young students of dance an opportunity to further their dance education, to perform in public and be honored for their dance achievements. Students compete for funds that are awarded to help promote their dance training.
