SPONSORSHIP

Your gift will support scholarships, Master Classes, and performance opportunities for our young dancers. Under the continued direction and tutelage from Lynn B. Welters - the Ballet Elite (non profit) and New School of Dance & Arts continues to serve all children in the DC area. We are a training center that offers pre professional dance and training experiences by professional artist. Ballet Elite serves school age children in the District of Columbia who typically come from underserved neighborhoods around the city. Though we are open to all students, we intentionally seek out and support families who may be experiencing hardship by offering either reduced or no fees for classes, stipends for transportation, uniforms, costumes, and dance shoes free of charge, and even provide meals for the long days of rehearsal
