Atlanta Ballet and Kennesaw State University Form New Educational Partnership

Atlanta Ballet is proud to announce the launch of a new partnership with the Program in Dance at Kennesaw State University. The partnership is aimed at providing a venue for collaborative dance education between the two institutions. Company members from Atlanta Ballet and students at the Centre for Dance Education will have the opportunity of pursuing Bachelor of Art degrees in dance at Kennesaw State University. Professional company and Fellowship dancers will be able to apply for advanced professional credit towards their degrees, and pursue both a professional and academic career through their association with both institutions.

Undergraduate dance students enrolled in the Program in Dance at Kennesaw State University will receive special discounts and concessions to Atlanta Ballet performances, classes and events. Advanced level students will also have opportunities to audition for supernumerary roles with Atlanta Ballet and gain professional performance experience. Atlanta Ballet will provide internship opportunities for KSU dance majors at the Centre for Dance education, giving KSU students professional administrative experience in the field of dance.

The Kennesaw State University Program in Dance is housed in the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies within the College of The Arts. The program was started in fall 2005, and has quickly grown into one of the leading undergraduate dance programs in the Southeast, offering a B.A. degree in Dance as well as an undergraduate dance minor. The Kennesaw State University Dance Company has received several regional and national recognitions, including the honor of being selected in June 2008 to represent the southeast at the National American College Dance Festival in New York City.

Founded in 1996, the Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education is nationally accredited by the National Association of Schools of Dance. The Centre has become one of the top ten dance education facilities in the country and continues to set a high standard for excellence in dance education. The Centre prides itself on its community partnerships, and is proud to add a new dimension of collegiate education through its partnership with Kennesaw State University.
