Ballet through Borders
Empowering young girls to dance through our summer program located in South Africa.
About
Ballet through Borders is a South Africa based charity organization. Our mission is to provide young girls who have never been able to dance with the opportunity to experience the wonderful art of ballet through our week-long summer camp. We provide girls from local preschools and elementary schools with a week of introductory ballet classes and fun activities, which will develop self-confidence and love for movement. We believe that no matter anyone's socioeconomic status, they should be given the opportunity to experience the beauty of ballet.

"Good day, thanks for the opportunity you gave to our daughters to participate in ballet camp. My daughter has never been this happy to attend an event out her normal pre-school classes since the passing of her mum two years ago. You made such a huge difference in her life. I would also applaud you for being patient and kind to them. Please convey our appreciation to all the stakeholders who made this event a success and the sponsors as well. May God bless you and your family."
