""Ballet isn't for everybody, but it can be for anybody," said Michelle Cave, founder and director of Ballet and Beyond NYC."
""What we do here is special because we have professional artists that come in and lay the foundation for these young people, and it costs nothing for them," said Carlton Terrence Taylor, the artistic director of the R.Y.S.E. Conservatory."
""It's our 10th year and something that I'm really proud of is that students who started with us have grown through the program," Cave said. "All you need to do is find us and let us know you want to do the work.""
Michelle Cave founded and directs Ballet and Beyond NYC to remove cost and access barriers to ballet training. The organization partners with after-school programs and other nonprofits to bring ballet studios to students, eliminating cost and travel impediments. Anyone with a desire and passion for dance is welcome. The free Repertory Youth Summer Enrichment (R.Y.S.E.) Conservatory runs six weeks, Monday through Friday. Students receive instruction across disciplines including dance, musical theater, and filmography. Professional artists provide foundational training at no cost. The program has operated ten years and supports student growth through continued participation.
