CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Nashville Ballet's artistic reputation has grown significantly in recent years, both nationally and internationally. This evolution has made us better poised to attract top-tier talent and diversify our repertoire with recent groundbreaking accomplishments such as: embarking on a dancer wage study to ensure competitive pay and working weeks, revamping the Strategic Plan to best address our changing artistic needs and goals, and garnering approval to perform masterworks from the catalogs of Balanchine and Kylian. We are challenged to maintain a diverse and sophisticated performance season where the audience embraces our curatorial choices. School of Nashville Ballet continues to experience a growth in demand for dance instruction for students of all ages. ELEVATE, Nashville Ballet's Capital Campaign to renovate and expand our current facility, was completed in May 2015. Providing us with much of the resources we needed to meet growing demand (namely space), we are now able to turn our attention to the further investment and management of ensuring we fill our seven dance studios with the best faculty, most accommodating classes and maintain The Martin Center for Nashville Ballet as a safe and nurturing place to dance. Nashville Ballet maintains a commitment to serving our community in important ways and has steadily increased its impact over recent years through the important work of Community Engagement initiatives. Thanks to funding from corporate and private citizens to help underwrite the costs of bringing arts education to the many communities of our region, Nashville Ballet has been able to continue its investment in this arm of operations. Last year we sent over 200 age-specific programs into the community reaching more than 20,000 people. We are now challenged to grow in sophistication of our programs, as we have begun evaluating program impact. Additional staffing will be required to support the many aspects of increased programming, such as managing bookings, training dancers with an increased repertory of ballets, measuring impact, moderating performances and adequately managing and caring for costumes and sets. |
