Our Mission

At Iasasthai Ballet Summer Intensive, we believe that art has the profound ability to reach beyond cultural, lingual, and worldview barriers to transform others' lives, bringing them understanding, inspiration, and joy through the love and power of Christ. 

We aspire to train students in the art of classical Ballet, as beauty, joy and peace are qualities we hope to give our audience. We also train our students in original contemporary and neoclassical works, as these often bring clarity, meaning, and understanding to the audience. In addition, our curriculum includes taking care of our bodies through strengthening, stretching, and nutrition to prevent injuries and to help us to reach the full potential for which we were created. Each day of the intensive also includes artist devotions that prompt students to connect the works they are rehearsing to the Scriptures and spiritual concepts that inspired them. We encourage our students to attribute meaning to each training session and performance, inspiring them to grow as an artist and as a person as they accomplish God’s purpose for them and reach others through their art.
