About Ballet Rising

Ballet Rising is a community development organization dedicated to making ballet more accessible by Empowering Emerging Ballet Communities in the most unlikely places. We address a lack of connectivity at the edges of the global ballet community with the aim of expanding opportunities and collaboration through Financial Support, Networking, and Awareness. Ballet Rising goes beyond nurturing dancers and talent discovery. We promote ballet's wide-ranging benefits for all, contributing to a positive impact on society. For most of its history, ballet stars came mainly from Europe and North America. Today, that is changing. The ballet world has a wider range of ethnic, racial and religious diversity than ever before, and global audiences are becoming increasingly aware of the social, individual and economic benefits of supporting dance in their communities. Ballet Rising provides support to artists, faculty, and students who have worked on the margins of the ballet community for too long, and provides fundraising, education, networking, and advocacy assistance. In addition, we use our media platform to share unique and inspiring stories from the artists in our network to create awareness about how their journey is evolving. This creates an abiding interest in the growth of the community from a wider range of participants.
