Overview

Mission

The saint augustine batet strives to teach our dancers valuable skills such as team building, respect, and responsibility while fostering a lifelong love of dance. The ballet has four performances a year to over 3000 audience members for our local community and out of county guests.

What it reported doing in 2025

Each year we put on four events which include two full-length ballets, a dance festival, and a student gala performance. Fall is our international dance festival and in december we present our signature production and a holiday favorite the nutcracker. Our spring production varies each year

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
