The Arise Company Experience
For the first time, the Arise Children’s and Youth Ballet Companies will be opening up one of their rehearsals to dancers currently in the Grade 1 level on up. Join them on Monday, June 2nd to watch a rehearsal, learn some choreography, and participate in a short Bible study. The Arise Company Experience is a great way for interested students to see what it is like to be a part of the pre-professional ballet companies.
If your dancer is currently in Grade 2 Ballet, Grade 3 Ballet, or Grade 4 Ballet, they are eligible to audition for the Children’s Ballet next fall. Applications will open shortly with a deadline in June.
If your dancer is currently in Grade 5 Ballet, Inter Foundations Ballet, Intermediate Ballet, Advanced Foundations Ballet, Advanced 1 Ballet, or Advanced 2 Ballet, they are eligible to audition for the Youth Ballet next fall.
If your dancer is currently in Grade 1 Ballet, they are welcome to come and participate even though they are still one year away from being eligible to apply.

Seasons of You
It all began with an idea. Way back in 2019 and Ballet was born around the idea that each of us experiences a variety of seasons in our lives, and in each of those seasons, God shows up in a different way. Watch the Arise Youth Ballet dance out these different seasons of life. This Ballet was produced and filmed during lockdown, so click below to watch it and follow the link in the description to donate.
