DEI Statement

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The Ballet Foundation of San Diego’s programs are committed to serving all members of the community. We believe dance is a fundamental part of well-being and aim to share our profound love and enthusiasm for this art form in a joyful, respectful, and inclusive manner.

The Foundation’s work is aligned with San Diego County’s health strategy Building Better Health, Living Safely & Thriving initiative. Our scholarships, residencies, partnerships, and education initiatives seek to engage and include San Diegans across all demographics, particularly those new to ballet and dance or who have historically lacked access to these art forms.
