30 YEARS OF HEADLINES is A LOT of IMPACT

We are honored that Neglia Ballet has been loved and supported in our Buffalo communities for the last 30 years!

We've watched our very first students, and all those that followed, go out and change the world. We've watched them grace the stages in major cities and come back "home" to perform on stage again with their first ballet family, here in Buffalo.

30 years ago we envisioned creating a ballet conservatory then grow it into a performing company. Somewhere along the way we realized our unique gift wasn't meant to create a full ballet company...it was to create a space for aspiring dancers to learn, grow and believe in themselves. Little did we know at the time, but our students are becoming our living legacy.

You've heard a lot about Rowan lately, our CityDance baby all grown up and now performing with Joffrey Ballet in Chicago (and loving it). Before he left he gave us a gift...he didn't know it, but this gift is why we work each day to teach ballet with love and passion. Why we make it possible to bring ballet, movement and dance opportunities to more and more groups within our community. Rowan, over the last decade, went from being a boy in one of our free programs to a true artist.

Three decades ago we couldn't imagine the love and bond we'd create with dancers that come through our doors. They become our family, we become invested in their future, we are dedicated to helping them find their inner artist, express themselves in ways only dancers can...and it works, it works so well.
