Through the vision and under the leadership of Rebecca Crawford Harman, it is Neighborhood Ballet’s mission to inspire, develop, and bolster a love of dance in every student. We do not take our roles as arts educators lightly. While we value the importance of precision and technique, we know that our students will be the next generation of not only dancers, but teachers, politicians, patrons, parents, community members, and leaders. By instilling the importance of the arts in our students, we can impact our future.

Rise City Dance is a youth, pre-professional dance company based in the heart of Atlanta, and is the official company of Neighborhood Ballet. We exist to cultivate the innate artistry and passion that is in every one of our dancers.

Rise City Dance and the Neighborhood Ballet present their recital and concert series at the Ferst Center for the Arts.
