Lili and Fam: Better Lives Through Dance 2025

In Lili’s words: Colorado Conservatory of Dance (CCD) is special to me because:

1. I have a community of dancer friends there that I love dancing and learning with.
2. My heart has always reached out to the Nutcracker. CCD is where I first saw the Nutcracker and fell in love. This will be my first year performing in the Nutcracker!

We knew CCD was the right place for Lili the first time we attended the Nutcracker performance in 2022 (Lili pictured with cast above). She jumped at the invitation to ask questions at the cast Q & A after the show and got up on stage for the young dancer's "master class." Lili has been a student here since fall of 2023. CCD is at once a traditional and progressive dance school, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and goes far beyond that:

• CCD annually puts on a professional and beautiful production of the Nutcracker right here in our community.
• CCD provides need-based scholarships for young dancers who, without your support, may not have access to top-quality training.
• CCD provides free after-school dance programs for underserved schools throughout Adams, Boulder, Broomfield, and Jefferson Counties.
• CCD supports Dance Expressions adaptive dance programming designed to provide equal access to dance for students with physical and/or developmental disabilities.

Would you please consider fundraising with us, at whatever level is feasible, to support our studio’s mission?

Thank you!

Lili, Ryan and Liz
