About the Artist
The mission of Confluence Ballet Company is to simultaneously honor classical traditions and embrace innovation in the dance world while prioritizing the artistic experience, diversity, and inclusion. Our company strives to promote the accessibility of arts and culture in Pittsburgh while encouraging our contemporary stances on mental health awareness and accessibility in the dance world. We believe that dance is an essential part of everyone’s lives, especially upon reflecting on how the constraints of COVID-19 negatively influenced the welfare of our community. Confluence Ballet is creating a safe space for artists to thrive professionally and personally while prioritizing their physical and mental well-being, as well as increasing access to and engagement with high-caliber dance performance and education through community outreach.
