SUPPORT
WESTSIDE THEATER & BARE BAIT DANCE
Fueling Contemporary Dance in Western Montana.
Westside Theater & Bare Bait Dance rely on the generosity of the individuals across our community who share our vision for vibrant, accessible contemporary performance. Your tax-deductible contribution directly funds professional artist wages, preserves our intimate theater home, and keeps community and youth programming open to all.
Why donate?
Founded in 2011, Bare Bait Dance is Montana’s only full-season professional dance company, and Westside Theater is the sole venue within a 300-mile radius dedicated to creating and staging contemporary dance. In our intimate 80-seat theater, ticket sales cover only a fraction of what it takes to commission original choreography and provide fair wages. 41% of our budget goes directly to artists’ pockets. When you give, you aren’t just donating—you are lending your voice to a creative ecosystem where anyone from age 2 to 85 can find joy and expression through movement.
