About Us

The Ballet Club exists to explore the spirit of ballet by increasing our technical efficiency through classical ballet, and to consider the role that ballet plays in today's dance world through contemporary and original works rooted in ballet. We plan to do this by meeting every week for two hours. The first hour will consist of a classical ballet class given by a club member or Hope College faculty member. During the second hour, we will choreograph and rehearse original pieces or learn variations from existing works. Annually, we plan to perform pieces in the Fall and Spring Student Choreographed Dance Concerts, as well as performing our own interpretation of the Nutcracker.
