As a young arts organization in Dallas, our 3-year strategic plan includes filling the following needs:

* Expand our Board by three members with marketing, project management, or fund-raising experience

* Secure a dedicated rehearsal space that can also be used for additional events such as open classes, workshops, and fund-raising

Equity Statement

Diversity makes us stronger and more thoughtful artists, creators, presenters, and custodians of our artform. Discrimination and injustice are not tolerated in our workplace or in the artistic process of our work.

Promoting a space for a multitude of diverse voices to create and engage with art, particularly in the field of ballet, is at the core of what we value. This includes all skin colors, ethnicities, religions, cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities. We expect our community to hold us to these values and encourage open dialogue about how we can continue to listen, evolve, support, and engage with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ artists, audiences, and communities.
