This April, The B&B Collective is bringing Ten Tiny Dances to Baltimore—an intimate, site-specific performance platform where dancers create and perform original works on a 4’ x 4’ stage. Just sixteen square feet. Infinite possibility.
Ten Tiny Dances challenges artists to distill their movement, take creative risks, and connect deeply with audiences in a close, accessible setting. The result is a powerful experience—up close, personal, and unmistakably human.
We’re raising funds to ensure that the artists who step onto that tiny stage are paid, supported, and celebrated.
Why This Matters
The B&B Collective exists to expand access to professional dance-making for artists whose paths haven’t always followed traditional pipelines. Many of our dancers are highly trained professionals who took nontraditional routes—balancing careers, families, or long gaps without access to rehearsal space or performance opportunities.
What they never lost was their artistry.
Ten Tiny Dances creates a space where:
- Professional and collegiate dancers share the same platform
- Artists engage in meaningful rehearsal and feedback processes
- Creative voices are honored—regardless of age, background, or career trajectory
Your support helps make that space possible.
What Your Donation Supports
Funds raised through this campaign will directly support:
- Artist stipends ($100 per selected artist)
- Rehearsal and creative development sessions
- Production and technical needs
- Administrative support to coordinate a professional, artist-centered process
Every dollar goes toward ensuring dancers are compensated for their labor and welcomed into a thoughtful, equitable creative environment.
