HOW DOES NCDPAF SUPPORT
PASO ROBLES DANCE COLLECTIVE ?
North County Dance and Performing Arts Foundation (NCDPAF) is a 501-C3 non-profit organization that has been dedicated to keeping the performing arts alive and thriving in North San Luis Obispo County for over thirty five years. ​The Foundation supports community dancers, including those of the Paso Robles Dance Collective, for other performance and scholarship opportunities throughout the year.
​
NCDPAF began the Paso Robles Chamber Ballet Company (now known as the Paso Robles Dance Collective) and the coveted Nutcracker Ballet over twenty eight years ago. It is still going strong to this day. Additionally, NCDPAF grants partial funds, to support attendance of The Ballet Alliance annual festival, for local dancers and/or directors each year.
NCDPAF is exclusively responsible for the annual Nutcracker Ballet performance which is held in December of each year. Spring productions including: Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, EPIC dance, Let it Be, and others have been presented to local audiences throughout the years. NCDPAF is proud to support PRDC and their membership of The Ballet Alliance, an association of pre professional ballet companies.
