Our Beliefs:
Ballet Embody is an example as to how art can embody a collaborative experience between artist, admin, and audience.
We believe that encouraging our own dancers to embody each work through their unique artistry results in -happy- dancers with developed intuitions.
We believe this enables us to communicate our sincere intentions behind each work, cultivating a broad arts landscape in our community.
