Overview

Mission

The gainesville ballet company is dedicated to promoting the appreciation, study, and performance of dance as an art form to as wide and diverse an audience as possible in the gainesville and larger northeast Georgia community. Our teachers, choreographers, and board of directors are committed to providing dance training and performance opportunities to dancers ranging in age from three years old through brenau university dance majors. We take great pride in not only offering our dancers a world-class dance education but also in offering them a positive, nurturing environment where they can grow as dancers and as young people. In addition to the extraordinary experience offered to our dancers, our two annual performances, including the nutcracker each winter and a storybook ballet each spring, enable us to promote the art of dance to audiences throughout the region.

What it reported doing in 2020

Gainesville ballet company performs several times each year for the general public and for area schools. Their perfomers include high school, college, and professional dancers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
