The Ballet Alliance is dedicated to empowering the next generation of choreographers through our Emerging Choreography Mentorship program. This initiative connects promising young choreographers with experienced professionals who provide valuable feedback, helpful guidance, and strong encouragement.
Through individual mentorship, these young artists receive feedback at key points in their creative process, whether they are developing a new work or refining a finished piece. Mentors collaborate with artistic directors from member companies to create a supportive environment that benefits both the choreographer and the company.
Our respected mentors are selected for their established skills in the field, their commitment to educating young talent, and their ability to inspire the choreographers of tomorrow. This program is a vital investment in the future of ballet, nurturing the skills and artistic vision of emerging choreographic voices.
