Be a Star!! Help Create a Star!!

The Ballet School of Stamford is proud to announce its Raise the Barre program for capital fund raising. Construction is currently under way on our new studios at the Rich Forum and we need your help!

We are thrilled to welcome Michael Vernon as our Artistic Director. The school’s growth in both size and prestige has been phenomenal. The faculty and level of training are considered to be one of the best in the New York area and continue to gain respect throughout the Ballet community. The school has grown to over 300 students, ages 3 to 18. This summer we offered a six week summer dance program. Performance opportunities have also been increased. Last spring we presented a wonderful two act version of Sleeping Beauty choreographed by Peter Anastos.

Proper training cannot take place without a proper facility. Our new location provides 3 new studios with the largest being the black box Leonhardt Studio. With this new level of service for our students comes additional cost. We are spending approximately $130,000 to offer these state of the art studios. We have raised $80,000. Through this new facility, it is our desire to continue to expand the opportunity and enjoyment for our students, your sons and daughters. The school generates its income through tuition, donations and grants. Most grants are dedicated to our outreach and scholarship programs. General operations and faculty salaries rely upon tuition and donations. Capital programs have primarily been funded through donations. It is here that we need your help.

Please join our Raise the Barre program! We need your help to provide our young aspiring artists with the best facility and training program possible. We will use your donation to further improve the Ballet experience and continue to strive for excellence and enjoyment.
