Mission Statement New
England Ballet Company, founded in 1990 by Artistic Director Kenneth
Hopkins, is committed to the belief that experiencing the performing
arts is a vital element in the education of our children. The Company
exists to promote arts education and to serve the community by giving
performing opportunities to dancers of all ages and levels, children
through adult. In accordance with the Goals 2000: Educate America Act
established by the National Standards for Arts Education (U.S.
Department of Education) New England Ballet Company has forged community
partnerships with schools for the purpose of educating school children
in the arts. This initiative is called DANCE: Developing Appreciation
and Nurturing in Cultural
arts Education. The purpose of the Company is an educational one for the dancers and the community. The community dancers benefit from the experience of working with professional faculty, choreographers and guest artists, as well as professional directors, dancers, lighting, costume and set designers. The community of Ithaca benefits from having a company comprised of youth and adult dancers whose local school and public performances enhance arts awareness, and showcase local talent. New England Ballet Company of Ithaca performances integrate the involvement of students, parents, community and professional performers, civic groups, businesses, school administrators and dance enthusiasts throughout the area. |
