EMPOWERING ARTISTS
Your donation empowers artists and creates a healthier, more sustainable future for the arts. By holistically supporting and valuing artists, you uplift community and create a positive future for the next generation of young dancers.
​
Our first priority is always paying the dancers, choreographers, collaborators, and designers that bring art to life. Read our 2022/23 Annual Report to see how these values support our education programs, outreach, and community impact.

Dancer Paychecks
The heart of RDC’s mission. Over two-thirds of RDC’s annual budget goes directly to artist paychecks, with about 45% going directly to dancers.
​
Support ample compensation for professional dancers and help challenge the narrative of the “starving artist”.
Mainstage Performances
RDC professionally produces two mainstage performances per season - a repertory show in the Fall and an evening-length premiere in the Spring.
Support theater and production budgets that bring our artists' work to life.

​
Support programs including Seen: STL, open classes, RDC's Summer Intensive, and more.
Mental Health in Dance
RDC values and prioritizes mental health as part of creating a sustainable and successful future for all dance artists.
​
Support free and affordable access to mental health care for dancers, sponsored community trainings, and more.
Touring Performances & Outreach
RDC tours to regional festivals, conferences, and universities to share performances, master classes, and workshops - spreading our mission beyond St. Louis and connecting with diverse artists across the country.
