Studio Leadership
Leadership and experience are necessary to run a successful organization. The Ballet Conservatory is exceptional in that it is a two-tiered, non-profit ballet academy and pre-professional company. Our faculty and staff have a wealth of knowledge in the non-profit and arts communities and are committed to providing each student with the necessary tools and education to achieve their artistic goals.
