Ballet Mississippi’s first artistic directors brought unfounded experience, training, and an intense understanding about their art. This extraordinary level of integrity laid the foundation in this tradition of excellence. As we have for 60 years, we continue to uphold founder’s integrity!

The core of our organization is accountability. We are held to the highest levels of accountability by board, our staff, our community, and our mission. This accountability can be found in the training and education many young dancers – Mississippi dancers!

Our Commitment has always been, and will continue to be, to our public, our supporters, our students, dancers, and perhaps more than anything, to the beauty and great expectations of our art – This is Ballet

From their first class, ballet dancers train everyday with the same technical and artistic demands, increasing incrementally every day, month and years. Consistency brings and develops continuity, discipline, expectations and amplifies and holds the beauty of the art for everyone to see. There is no greater competition….
