We are committed to continuing our dedication to the following areas:

3- Scholarships for performance opportunities:

  • Every year Ballet 314 provides performance opportunities for youth and adults of all levels. In 2025, we awarded 20 scholarships.


Our Commitment to Local Artists: Now in our 7th season, Ballet 314 has remained committed to our mission to support artists who have chosen St. Louis as their home through programs that are centered in storytelling and education for audiences of all ages. We have taken courageous leaps in our artist payments and in our outreach in order to support these local dancers who passionately share their talent for storytelling with our audience.
