Welcome to the inauguration of an exciting new venture in dance training, education and performance! Ballet des Amériques – the Ballet of the Americas – is ballet for all of us. It draws on rich traditions, while opening our minds to the future. It combines the rigors of classical ballet training with a broad education in the various facets of the performing arts. It calls for hard work and self-discipline, while maintaining an emphasis on the enjoyment of dance and the development of the whole individual. Your commitment to join us in this journey will be rewarded by witnessing the growth in your children’s confidence, in the skills they develop and in the breadth of their cultural awareness.
