Mission Statement
The role of the arts in society is to elucidate and deepen our understanding of humanity and life on Earth and to build connection with others through this deeper understanding. The mission of the Heartbeat Ballet is to connect with audiences through dance performances that integrate the abilities of highly-trained ballet dancers with innovative movements and choreographic endeavors that speak to the human experience. The Heartbeat Ballet is a small group of classically trained dancers seeking to blend contemporary movements with the precision of classical technique in order to express and reach a deeper side of humanity. In addition to producing theatre performances, the Heartbeat Ballet works to bring these experiences into small intimate venues where it can reach audience members who do not have the opportunity to get out to a theatre production. Future goals are to connect with under-served and at-risk populations by providing expressive dance workshops for them in coordination with other non-profit groups.
