✨ How did DANCE POWER get its name?

💫 When the program began, there was a contest for the inaugural students to name the program themselves, and one student replied: “When I dance, I feel powerful!”

💙 Please make a generous gift today so that DANCE POWER Scholars may continue to attend Princeton Ballet School tuition-free through their senior year in high school.

💫 American Repertory Ballet Dancers are “abundantly talented” according to Broadway World. These professionals also put in the (very hard) work.

🩰 Did you know that pointe shoes cost over $100/pair, and may only last one day during a busy season?
