Help the best traditional ballet institute in the Valley! They need funding to continue with excellent courses, shows, the program ballet for all, guest dancers, workshops, events, plus maintenance of that old building.

Please donate for the love of music and dance! Thanks!

My daughter has been in the upper school (their is also a lower school for younger dancers) at Amherst Ballet since Fall 2011. She started out with one hip-hop class, quickly added a second jazz dance,and is now taking a third class (I don't know what -- I can't keep up.)
She loves the vibe. She describes dancers who want to work hard and excel. Each dancer wants to perform at his/her highest level, and each dancer encourages his/her peers to do the same.
She would take more classes if she had the time.
