Ballet Hawaii's mission is to teach, present, promote and produce dance in Hawaii. Ballet Hawaii has been enriching Hawaii's cultural environment by teaching, promoting, presenting, and producing dance since 1976. Classes are focused on building self-confidence through accomplishment, while its presentations of world-class performances provide the community with the priceless gift of professional quality dance. In addition to a year-round training program offered at facilities in Honolulu and Waipahu, Ballet Hawaii also offers a three-week Summer Intensive session, featuring teachers from the international dance community.
