About New Ballet Ensemble & School
New Ballet provides opportunities to young aspiring dancers from diverse backgrounds by providing the tools and training to those who seek excellence, regardless of the family's ability to pay. Class offerings and curricula are based on the ethic of sound technical ballet training with an emphasis on multiculturalism. Students will explore African, Flamenco, Hip Hop, and Modern dance throughout their studies at New Ballet.

New Ballet students' goals cover a broad spectrum. Some have a serious desire to have access to scholarship opportunities at University dance programs, others participate in the program out of a desire to be immersed in an atmosphere of professionalism, creative freedom and serious intent.

Scholarships
