Rocky Mountain Ballet Theatre is proud to announce the Ballet Beyond Borders Festival is coming to Los Angeles/Westchester CA. Ballet Beyond Borders (BBB) is a unique experience where the best and brightest young talents and the leadership of our global dance community meet to compete, share stories and discuss relevant topics that affect everyone. BBB creates understanding between cultures and identifies our shared values. Participants come from the far corners of the earth. BBB has launched hundreds of careers and presented new opportunities to dancers who might otherwise have had none. The BBB community includes dancers, scientists, visual artists, directors, films, choreographers, authors, academics and diplomats to meet in southern California to investigate their role in the arts and their responsibility to create effective communication, that promotes global understanding and to mentor the next generation of leaders in the dance arena.
BBB acknowledges with gratitude that we can bring this experience to Westchester & Los Angeles because of generous support from the Drollinger Family Foundation.
