Collierville Ballet is the premier youth ballet company in Western Tennessee
The Collierville Ballet is known throughout the region for its wonderful community outreach programs, the versatility of our repertoire, and our professional performances that the entire family can enjoy. We desire to continue to attract, develop, and encourage our pre-professional level dancers while growing our dedicated base of volunteers and patrons of the ballet so that we can offer our community even more in the arts and humanities for many years to come.
Our Mission
Our mission at the Collierville Ballet is to provide our community with quality arts and humanities education, cultural outreach events and performance opportunities; and to encourage, challenge and inspire individuals to achieve their own personal best through the performing art of dance.
Our Philosophy...
It is our holistic approach to the arts and humanities that helps to provide our company dancers with the necessary life-skills to pursue a professional career in dance as well as in other areas outside of dance and the related arts fields. We believe that training should not just be confined to the performing arts but should encompass experiences that encourage each dancer to be a well-rounded individual. So we instill in our dancers - etiquette, discipline, mutual respect, confidence, the ability to work as a team and to encourage one another as individuals.
One team...
We support each other, creating a warm, nurturing environment for our company members to maximize their potential and reach their personal goals. Our company dancers can be found in some of the most prestigious dance companies and arts organizations in the world - including the American Ballet Theatre, The Julliard School, and on Broadway.
Versatility...
Our dancers are provided with professional instruction in classical ballet, contemporary, jazz, modern dance styles which allows our dancers to quickly adapt to a broad range of styles and genres. Our dancers are given wonderful performance opportunities to learn and perform classical repertoire and contemporary works. Our company dancers hold leading roles in productions and have ample opportunities to learn the craft of theatre production and performance.
Respecting our heritage...
We honor the knowledge of the arts and humanities passed down to us from generation to generation. We ensure that our dancers are educated in the history of classical ballet and grow to understand and appreciate all forms of dance from a wide variety of cultures as a artistic treasure for all people to enjoy.
