Our Mission

Ballet Etudes is a non-profit youth ballet company dedicated to nurturing dancers' character development and artistic growth through immersive, exceptional performance experiences. Our mission is to engage and enrich the community by introducing a new generation to the transformative power of ballet through our outreach programs.

Our Core Values

Artistic Excellence: We strive for the highest standards in ballet, offering exceptional performance opportunities  to young dancers. Through our performances, we inspire audiences with the beauty and grace of ballet, promoting a lifelong appreciation for the arts.

Empowerment:  We recognize that performing arts play an important role in developing a well rounded individual. Through participation in our productions, our dancers cultivate confidence, discipline, and self-expression, which serve as the cornerstone of their journey toward future success.  We understand that these qualities are not only essential for personal growth but also crucial for leadership. Dance, to us, is a precious gift meant to be shared and passed on from one generation to the next. It is through this tradition of passing the torch of creativity and expression that we empower our dancers to become leaders in the arts.

Inclusivity: We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to explore their potential regardless of financial circumstances. By offering low-cost performances and free dance classes in Title I schools, we lower financial barriers for aspiring dancers, enabling them to pursue their passion.

Community Engagement: We perform to enrich our community with our vibrant art form that combines music, movement, and storytelling.  Through partnerships with local foster and shelter organizations, we offer families the opportunity to experience the magic of The Nutcracker ballet annually at no cost.  We continuously seek opportunities to create relevant and impactful programs in the arts.
