Today, as ballet teachers and former professional dancers, we strive to bring dance and art into the lives of those around us including students, their families, our audiences, and our community. In the ballet classes we teach, we feel our students need more than just dance training. In seeking a way to enrich our students' training and education exposure with a deeper understanding of what both dance and other artforms can bring to their lives, we have created Lake Arts Project to join forces with others to bring dance and other art forms together for the benefit of both those who participate and those who observe.
