MISSION
STATEMENT
Rebecca Kelly Ballet's mission is to bring a humanistic outlook to the stage through an engaging blend of contemporary ballet and modern dance characterized by relevancy and delivered with style.
Through the creation, performing, and teaching of dance, RKB provokes thought, and engages its audience. By bridging classical technique and contemporary styles, and by offering performances to diverse audiences, RKB opens doors and brings dance everywhere it can, strengthening communities through participation in the arts.
The Company is sustained by a combination of revenues generated by teaching
and touring, by grants, and through the participation of individuals like
yourselves - our audience. It is your curiosity and support which enable RKB to bring fresh new ballets to the stage.
Rebecca Kelly Ballet is an activity of Appleby Foundation,
Inc. a non-profit, 501C-3 tax-exempt organization incorporated in the
State of New York in 1979.
