Join us for a great night of bowling madness!
Arrive at the Academy at Terpsicorps promptly at 5:30 for a preview of Terpsicorps Theatre of Dance’s upcoming professional performances of “Together We Soar” at 5:30pm. Then make your way over to Sky Lanes to register at 6, and the two games of bowling begin at 6:30.
If you haven’t been to Sky Lanes in a while, its quite swanky these days! Complete with great local beers for the adults and yummy kid friendly treats for the family, its a hipster family paradise.
Start getting your team together today. Use this website to sign up as a team or individual player and fundraise before the tournament, or, if you cannot make it, support your favorite team, bowler or dancer by donating on their behalf.
To play find a minimum of five people or businesses to sponsor you, or you can pay $25 at the door. Gather some friends to form a team or come on your own to bowl with other players who care about supporting professional dance and dance training in Asheville… while having fun. Our Academy families are encouraged to join together with their classmates to form teams. Bowling for Ballet is also a great team-building exercise for your office or other group. It is definitely a fun evening out!
PRIZES!
- The Academy family that raises the most money (at a minimum of $200) gets $150 towards an Academy summer camp of their choosing.
- The team that raises the most money (at a minimum of $300) gets 1 ticket each for Terpsicorps Theatre of Dance’s opening night performance, Thursday, June 22, 8pm.
- The individual who scores the most points gets a Terpsicorps t-shirt, and some other swanky merch.
Proceeds from this event will support Terpsicorps’ Fifteenth Annual Summer Season, TOGETHER WE SOAR and help defer the cost of summer overhead for the Academy, a significant concern as revenue drops greatly during the summer months.

STEP 1: ORGANIZE A TEAM OF 4-6 PEOPLE (including yourself). Recruit 3-5 other team members (dance classmates, friends, family, co-workers, anyone willing to have fun) You do not need bowling experience, skill or even coordination for this ridiculous event.
STEP 2: REGISTER YOUR TEAM at www.bowlathon.net. At this website you will be able to keep track of your team members and donated money. Choose a team name – the lane will be reserved under whatever crazy name you come up with. It can match your costume, if you choose to wear one!
STEP 3: LEAD YOUR TEAM’S FUNDRAISING EFFORTS by encouraging friends, family, co-workers, and others to donate to your team, much like a walk-a-thon. The team who raises the most money ahead of the event will win a prize!
