Founded in 1991 by Susan Alexander, Ballet Divertimento is a non-profit organization where children, teens and adults can cultivate their passion for dance, whether they hope to pursue a career or are dancing for pleasure. Ballet Divertimento’s fundraising activities aim to enrich young dancers’ educational experience by providing the funds needed to mount the annual end-of-year show, an important step in forming an artist. As well, the contributions will enable them to participate in related activities, such as the opportunity to work with local and international choreographers, and to participate in international exchanges, trips and cultural outings associated with their art.
