Northeast Arts mission is to support professional freelance artists, allowing dancers to lead collaborations across disciplines with the goal of making ballet accessible to many communities. Dancer-led on-the-job experience in production, costuming, marketing and design develops freelance dancers’ skills, adding new voices to the art.
Within our mission, Northeast Arts has three main goals: to hold free and low cost, high-quality ballet performances at Northeast Arts Studio Theater, to offer dance and wellness classes to the community at large and to support freelance dancers with professional resources.
We are sincerely grateful to all our collaborators and supporters for their generosity, creativity, guidance and joy.
