Why Alma?

Why Alma?
Ballet is a form of art that has been around for a long time and is important to the culture of every country. The existence of a vibrant dance community is part of every great city in the U.S. The organization seeks to be one of the foremost dance companies in the United States. It will stage both classical ballets and ballets that are new, creative, courageous, and unique to the organization. These ballets will represent the cultural diversity of Chicago by introducing different musical styles such as Latin, jazz, gospel, and blues. This approach will broaden the appeal of ballet to a larger community of all ages. Parents will bring their kids to see the organization’s ballet productions with the intent to provide exposure to music and the arts.
