The belief, commitment, and passion displayed by our studio members, who participated in a Peer To Peer competition and raised $11,827, embody the core spirit of Ballet Chelsea. Every dollar contributed will play a vital role in sustaining our organization and furthering the art of dance through wellness, performance, education, and community outreach.”
