Cultural enrichment

The mission of Naples Ballet, Inc. is to provide dancers of all ages with performance opportunities that meet expert standards of artistic development, instill professional values and qualities through art education, and to offer free professional dance instruction through scholarship funding while serving as a training ground for local dancers possibly seeking professional careers in dance or related fields. The scholarships for ballet training are awarded to dancers through open auditions, and daily training is essential for dancers to be technically prepared. In addition to class time, weekly rehearsals are necessary to prepare for productions and dancers dedicate a minimum average of 13 hours a week while maintaining their educational responsibilities. These dancers are an extraordinary group of young people and have proudly been accepted to prestigious summer programs such as: American Ballet Theatre, San Francisco Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, Houston Ballet, School of American Ballet, Harid Conservatory, and the Orlando Ballet, to name a few.
