Ballet Tech to me was more than just a school. Although I received a great education and made lifelong friendships, I also learned discipline, determination, creativity and respect.

I honestly feel that I owe everything I am and everything I have to Ballet Tech. This program gives children an opportunity to study classical ballet and possibly make a career out of it, which I did.

Jacquelyn Scafidi Allsopp

Teacher, Dancer, Choreographer

I don’t believe there are any words to describe how much Ballet Tech means to me. It was there where I began my dance career. My Ballet Tech teachers gave me the intangible gifts of love, support, ballet technique, and artistry, which I continue to cherish to this day.

Ballet Tech taught me discipline, hard work and how to move my body through space with intent. I still rely on those lessons learned in my work every day as an architect, although instead of moving through space with intent, I create it.

Ballet Tech will always mean family, unity, and pride. Ballet Tech remains the unique and significant experience of my past that built my character and gave me the foundation of discipline and commitment that I have applied to every aspect of my life.

Ballet Tech offered me an extremely rare opportunity that others only dream about. The foundation of my young brain was strengthened and grew immensely in a way that conventional learning would never allow.
