Rejoice School of Ballet has been providing under-served youth in East Nashville with an excellent dance education since the year 2000. Though the core of the curriculum is ballet, students are also taught African, jazz, and modern dance.
More than 75% of Rejoice’s students participate in the free or reduced lunch programs at their school, which makes them eligible to receive scholarships to attend classes at Rejoice.
Scholarship students pay a mere $10.00 a month to attend
classes, while the school pays for and maintains dancewear and costumes and subsidizes the remaining costs to educate students. Rejoice relies on financial gifts from foundations, businesses and private supporters to continue providing services to children.
Rejoice School of Ballet offers one of the only available, affordable after-school arts activities for at-risk East Nashville students. Rejoice’s dance instructors bring more than 100 years of experience to the dance studio. Students not only benefit from the wealth of their instructors’ experience but from the enthusiasm for the art of dance and their understanding of children.
