Mission
Ballet Club intends on adding to the campus dance community by providing an outlet for students interested in practicing classical ballet. The club is open to students of all dance experience levels; the club seeks to give students with previous ballet experience the opportunity to continue dancing and to teach technique to any beginners who want to learn ballet. This organization contributes a unique culture to campus because there are currently no other dance groups that focus specifically on classical ballet and the non-exclusive membership fosters community amongst artists of all backgrounds.
