Taylor's Fundraiser for FSBT 2025

A fundraiser for: First State Ballet Theatre

Organization Mission:

To present ballet boldly to Delaware; to enrich our community with live professional performances; to inspire and educate dancers and audiences of the future; and to connect local youth with a creative, inclusive movement experience.

I’m Taylor Ciampi.

I’m fundraising for First State Ballet Theatre.

Hi everyone!

My name is Taylor Ciampi and I am currently in my fourth season with FSBT. Since joining this company 4 years ago, I have grown so much as an artist, and I have been given opportunities that have turned me into the dancer I am today. I have danced some of my DREAM roles, and have explored roles I never thought I would see myself dancing. On top of dancing professionally with the company, I am a teacher at First State Ballet School and I am the Director of the National Ballet Competition. Not only does donating to FSBT help the company and the school, but it helps National Ballet Competition! We have awarded over $668,919 in scholarships to schools all over the WORLD to competitors who participated in NBC this past weekend. My goal is to continue to grow National Ballet Competition, and we can't do it without YOU! No amount is too small, and we appreciate your support! 
About First State Ballet Theatre

First State Ballet Theatre is Delaware’s only professional ballet company and serves thousands of Delawareans each year through our performances, our school, and our outreach programs. FSBT’s performing artists come from around the world to dance in our mainstage season at The Grand Opera House and other performances statewide. The School of FSBT is Delaware’s leader in classical ballet training and was recently named in the Top 5% of U.S. Ballet Academies by an independent study at Northeastern University. In 2019 FSBT created the National Ballet Competition, which awards thousands of dollars in scholarships for aspiring dancers to prestigious summer programs around the country. FSBT's outreach programs serve thousands of Delawareans with low-cost or free dance instruction and lecture-demos in schools and community centers statewide.
