Ballet Beyond Barre

Seeing Through is dedicated to providing our PNW adult ballet dancer community with different ways to engage with ballet outside of just taking classes. Our goal is to bring ballet into more modern contexts helping to inspire more people to experience ballet.

Seeing it through.

Seeing Through Ballet Co seeks to create opportunities for our community to engage with our passion for ballet, both as dancers and audience members. We want to break down the barriers that have traditionally kept ballet in the confines of concert halls, and make it a living breathing part of the community. We aspire to express the beauty of ballet through dancers of all levels of technique who embody a love for the art, and to inspire a new generation of ballet enthusiasts by bringing ballet closer to them through modern platforms and contexts.

We know that many people have had negative experiences in the past with traditional ballet norms, and we are committed to a positive and inclusive environment that focuses on expression over technical perfection. Everyone should be able to be a ballet dancer regardless of body type, gender, race, age, or ability.

Our
Leadership

In January 2023 Annie was planning their debut piece in Westlake Dance Center’s annual Sign of the Times showcase, and both Riley and Kendra were in the cast for that piece. After that performance, the three of us danced frequently together, including the following SOT showcase we all danced together in 2 different pieces. We have come together around our love of ballet and wanting to create more opportunities for adult ballet dancers to explore ballet and created Seeing Through.
