Our Mission

Established in 2011, The Official Connecticut Classic Ballet Scholarship Competition presents an enjoyable and educational experience for pre-professional ballet students giving the participants a stepping stone towards national and international competitions.

Creating an environment where each student can achieve a real sense of personal accomplishment and a new understanding of the artistic and technical requirements for a pre-professional ballet dancer by performing for a jury of our esteemed panel of national and international judges who are former Principals, Soloists, & Corps de Ballet dancers and dance educators.

An exciting classical and contemporary two-day event adjudicated by industry professionals and educators from across the globe.
