MoBBallet Ballet Intensive

 

 

MoBBallet's intermediate and advanced ballet intensive centers Blackness both in our students and faculty. Participants will not only have the opportunity to learn from our elite and diverse faculty, but also to truly connect with them as they learn about (Black) ballet history, discuss body image and aesthetics, and discuss training and higher education. Our Advanced track is designed to support dancers on the cusp of entering the professional realm by pairing them with a personal mentor who will provide individualized coaching, feedback, and mentorship, both in and outside of the studio.

MoBBallet Pathways to Performance Choreographic Program

 

 

In keeping with MoBBallet's 360˚ approach to transforming the field of ballet, the Pathways to Performance Choreographic Program (PTP) cultivates and mentors Black choreographers (and those of color) who specifically work in the ballet idiom. Additionally, PTP supports Black contemporary choreographers (and those of color) who are interested in exploring the ballet idiom, while also assisting established but overlooked creators in breaking through the glass ceilings that have hindered their advancement in the dance world. PTP provides them with concrete opportunities to create and present their work on prominent stages.
