Operation of an academy of dance in support of and in partnership with the professional ballet company. Students received dance instruction in class and ages 5-20 have the opportunity to participate in the live dance performances described in line 4a and 4c. Academy performances and recitals were held. The academy's goal is to train all ages in the physical discipline and artistic merits of classical dancing through musicality, precision of movement and mental aptitude.

The utilization of academy students and teaching artists for education outreach in schools. Teaching artists visited elementary schools, which included title i schools in the treasure valley, introducing dance movements and ballet technique to children as well as demonstrating the dance arts as a learning tool for teachers, through our learning through dance program. In addition, scholarships were granted to students from the participating schools and the schools were invited to abbreviated performances of the gathering dark, the nutcracker, and carmen and walking mad. As stewards and professional artists in the art form of ballet, our goal is to bring the community together to enrich lives and instill a life-long appreciation of classic ballet and all of the arts as related in western culture.
