Origins
Northeast Arts was born out of the conviction of freelance ballet dancers that we would not only survive, but build "our own thing" during the pandemic. Realizing that when our skills in production, costuming, design, organization and dance are pooled, a group of us formed the beginnings of what is now a thriving dance organization whose goals are to perform in the community at no cost to attendees, share our knowledge and love of ballet through classes and support freelance dancers with professional resources....
