In 2012, Julianna and Amy started a movement in the dance industry. They believed that the best art could connect communities, heal families and shape generations. They based this belief in the love of the Creator who is the source of all things good, true and beautiful. Today that mission has shaped thousands of lives. Young children have a safe space to dance and explore. Teenagers from underserved backgrounds are told with words and actions that their dreams can become a reality. Adults worn down from long weeks have a moment of revitalization as they experience art that makes them feel seen. Dance has the unique power to transcend language, culture and background to create a shared experience that can shift the atmosphere of our daily lives. Hope, joy and healing speak loudly when they are transmitted through the living poetry of Ballet 5:8.
