BalletCNJ YAGP Finals Fund

Hi all. I am a member of the Parent Organization for Ballet CNJ. Ballet CNJ is an extraordinary school of performing arts located in Hamilton, NJ. It offers a multi-level approach to training dancers so they can meet their full potential. One of the most compelling opportunities of the training offered at Ballet CNJ is their high level professional training program that has successfully trained dancers for many years to integrate into the world of professional dance. Ballet CNJ can boast dancers in some of the world’s most renowned companies including the San Fransisco Ballet, and the Paris Opera Ballet. When my own daughter expressed, at a very young age, that she wanted to pursue a dream in the world of ballet, I went on a search for a school that had a history of fully exploring the depth of a dancer’s ability, and making the most of it. That’s when I found Ballet CNJ. Every day my daughter walks into a studio met with directors who are invested, knowledgeable, and perceptive to both what she is able to currently execute, as well as establishing goals for which to strive, and helping her meet those goals at a rapid pace.

With such extraordinary training, also comes tremendous success. The dancers of the professional training programs have taken the 2023 competition season by storm, and excelled to the degree that the majority of the dancers who competed have been honored with an invitation to YAGP Finals in Tampa, Fl. While this is an honor of which most could only dream, a burdening economy does not press pause for artists to flourish and chase their dreams. The goal of this fundraising endeavor is to assist our wonderful school, it’s dancers, and most urgently, our beloved directors with offsetting costs associated with travel, accommodations, and competing in the finals at YAGP.

Please graciously consider making a donation of any amount, large or small, to help these incredible kids, who are the future of ballet, and the teachers who help shape that future.
