As FFDN returns in-person to theatres, and continues digital programs, your support is vital to our success. Our audiences often ask, “How do you do all this for $15 a ticket?” and the answer is that we don’t: it’s people like you, who believe in the power of dance, that make Fall for Dance North possible.
 
We are tremendously thankful for your belief in our mission over the pandemic.  You are a part of FFDN’s history and a part of our future. Your continued support ensures that audiences from across Toronto and beyond can gather to be inspired, moved and heartened by the magic of dance.

FFDN nurtures the future of professional dance.  Private donations are vital to our work, have seen us through the darkest times, and are lighting the way to the future.  The impact of our Patrons’ Circle cannot be overstated.  Your generosity confirms that dance is important -  that the beauty of movement universally speaks to our humanity and a vision for a better world.

Membership begins at the Inner Circle level with an annual donation of $1,000. Artists’ Circle Members and above may choose to be recognized as supporting a particular artist or company on the festival program.*
 
Patrons’ Circle membership deepens your connection with artists.  Through FFDN’s Special Events Series, members have the opportunity to go behind the scenes, catch exclusive previews, and socialize with artists and creative leaders in the artform. With cautious optimism, we are planning a return to in-person events in 2022; however,  gatherings may be virtual in order to comply with health and safety regulations.
