Saint Joseph Ballet is one of this country’s most innovative arts-based programs for youth, and celebrates its 25th Anniversary this year.

A long-term investment in each child, joined with exposure to internationally celebrated contemporary dance choreographers and insight from specialists in the academic and social service fields all combine to ignite creativity and awaken the spirits in nearly 400 low-income youth each year, yielding results that are tangible and striking.

The U.S. Department of Education estimates that the high school graduation rate for Latinos is 65%, and only 30% of those students pursue higher education. However since 1998, 100% of Saint Joseph Ballet's graduates have completed high school and 98% have continued on to college.

Every student is the living embodiment of the promise which Saint Joseph Ballet makes to them, “From here, you can step anywhere.” More online at www.SaintJosephBallet.org
