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.

In August of 2024, we marked one full year in our studios at Hope Central Church! Beyond our joy in our own work, we are eternally grateful for the support, love, encouragement, advice, joy, energy, enthusiasm and generosity of our entire community of students, professionals, freelancers, Hope Central Church, collaborators, artists and our Board of Directors. We cannot wait for the season ahead to continue creating together.. As always, with joy, love and gratitude - Avery, Boris and Juliet
