Ballet & Identity

“I think that I was waiting for something structured and disciplined like that, and that’s why I feel like the arts are so important for children… I think that whether or not they go on to become a professional or use that experience in their future jobs, it’s going to enrich their lives in some way…. it did that immediately for me”

— Misty Copeland
Principal Dancer American Ballet Theatre

In a world where so many of us are looking for ‘who we really are’, BALLET is more RELEVANT than ever.

  • Ballet forms your body and mind into one powerful unit of consciousness.
  • Ballet opens you to your innate qualities, allowing you to discover ‘who you are’.
  • Ballet is the greatest GIFT you can give yourself and your children, because it actualizes our potential.
  • Ballet is a tool to build up our Identity and lead a creative, purpose-driven life.

Forever heralded as The Sun King, Louis XIV of France brings Ballet to the world in the 17th century. In 1653 he exhibits its supreme power with his eternally iconic performance in Ballet de la Nuit or ballet of the night. The production runs from sundown to sunset, lasting twelve hours straight. It is a picture of his country rising from darkness into light.
