Overview

Mission

To provide quality classical ballet training and performance opportunities for the dance students.

What it reported doing in 2009

The performance program includes presenting two full-length ballets at a performing arts center in the Newark area. Each program includes approximately 65 students as well as two guest artists. Smaller in-studio performances are also performed.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 71% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
