Cultivating new voices in ballet
“New choreographic voices are rare in ballet, and the collaborative’s contribution in this respect has been vast already”
— The New York Times
Who We AreColumbia Ballet Collaborative is Columbia University’s oldest student-run dance club committed to cultivating new choreographic works. Every year,
we put on 2 gala performances,
work with student choreographers,
send volunteers to teach dance at local public schools,
and offer free ballet classes for the Columbia community.
