While ballet may be an old art form, nonprofit dance company Kingwood Ballet teaches skills that are still valuable today, even outside the dance world, Co-Director Kelley Agnew said.
About the program: Kingwood Ballet is a nonprofit pre-professional dance company housed inside Stacey’s Dance Studio in Kingwood, Agnew said. The organization is co-directed by Agnew, Trish King, Anoushka Miranda and Kerri Hawk.
Why it matters: Regardless of whether students want to become professional dancers, ballet teaches them important life skills such as determination and resilience, Agnew added.
“They fall right in front of you and you're like, ‘You okay? Good. Stand up, let's try it again,’” Agnew said. “It's just a tiny little life lesson all in an hour and a half.”
