Mission Statement

Ballet Greenville creates experiences using the medium of dance to educate and entertain — bringing stories to life and fostering a community of joy.

Impact

Arts are essential in communicating our stories, understanding our shared history, and bringing joy and inspiration into our lives. Ballet Greenville is excited for the evolution of our dance company. We envision a vibrant, thriving Greenville where culture is enjoyed by all. We will create rich experiences through the medium of dance to educate, entertain and provide joy. Our professional resident dance company, talented creative team, board of directors and staff value inclusion, individuality and excellence. We give back to the community through our community “Nutcracker” performance, our Boys to Dance program and the Pre-Professional dancer program. We also engage with the community through performances at Fall for Greenville, Artisphere and our Open Studio sessions. It is our goal to spark conversations, celebrate the arts and reach new audiences. Our nonprofit depends on your support: Join us as we grow and inspire future dancers, creatives and dreamers.
