MISSION

Greenwich Ballet Academy was founded in 2006 and is proud to be among the most prestigious and highly regarded pre-professional classical ballet academies in the United States. The Academy’s mission is to nurture talented young students toward careers in professional ballet and optimizing college aspirations. The Academy takes great care in directing each of its students on an individual path toward excellence and with an emphasis on superior technique, artistry and stage presence. GBA promotes this learning in a positive environment that develops not only exceptional dance skills, but overall health, fitness, self-confidence, and leadership.

The Board of Directors
Greenwich Ballet Academy is a non-profit 501c(3) organization and is run by a volunteer Board of Directors. We are fortunate to have many parents in our school who are highly skilled and have chosen to volunteer their time and resources to help make Greenwich Ballet Academy a success. In fact, GBA was founded by a group of parents who wanted a higher level of ballet instruction than was available in the local area and worked for years to make their dream come to pass.
