What happens when access meets opportunity for young Memphis dancers? Beauty.
Since 2001, New Ballet Ensemble & School has been making dance more accessible and developing youth artistically and personally. Last year, we taught dance weekly in 12 inner-city schools, providing access to high-quality arts education and offering scholarships to our studio program. Your gift on Give 8/28 could make all the difference for a creative child. You can give through LIVEGIVEmidsouth or at newballet.org. Links in bio!
