About Thrive
Thrive Ballet is a small performing company that nurtures emerging ballet students via more frequent performing opportunities with an emphasis on growth, learning, exploration and discovery. Participants have the opportunity to work on choreography created with the whole dancer in mind, specialized for individual strengths and developmental needs. Performances are relatively frequent, and less formal and less costly than full theater productions. Thrive Ballet provides a setting for students who want more chances to perform than end of year recitals but would like to avoid the intensity, cost and/or environment of competition groups. Membership will be precipitated by participation in Thrive Ballet Dance Labs or enrollment in classes with Insightful Motion. Students may participate in all performances or select those that work for them. Contact Thrive Ballet Director, Jill Oliver, for more information: thriveballet@gmail.com or 303-647-5730.
Members of Thrive Youth Ballet not only have more opportunities to perform, but doing a solo doesn’t equate to paying for lots of privates.
Thrive Youth Ballet strives to make dancing be about learning, appreciation, and growth, NOT who can pay the most.
Company members who want to do solos or participate in more pieces for each performance just need to commit extra time.
We also try to keep costs down by foregoing fancy costumes - each dancer just needs a particular leotard and a couple of skirts - a simple, elegant costume that can be used for a variety of different dances. Thrive Youth Ballet is also building a stash of basic costumes - plain tutus, skirts, etc., that can be used for many different performances.
