Russian Ballet Academy of Indiana

August 1st marks a landmark opportunity for RBAI to share the joy of dance with an even wider section of the community as we perform for Noble of Indiana. Since 1953, Noble of Indiana has created opportunities for people with developmental disabilities to live meaningful lives. RBAI proposes to add dance to that equation as it develops its own inclusive programs that bridge cultural and physical boundaries.

August 4th RBAI will be working with the Ukraine Orphan Hosting Program, the Russian Speaking Student Association of IUPUI as well as various members of the Russian-speaking community of Greater Indianapolis to provide activities and a performance for Ukrainian orphans hoping to find adoptive families here in Indiana. Please join us in welcoming these children and their escorts during their brief visit to America, and help us to promote their mission. This is also a wonderful opportunity for your children to learn some simple Russian phrases and participate in a cultural exchange! Donations of time, resources and linguistic skills are warmly welcomed.

August 22nd-31st our young dancers will have an exciting opportunity to participate in Fringe Next, the section of Indy Fringe that allows young performers to launch themselves into the professional performance arena. This year there will be the possibility of exchange opportunities for dance troupes with Toronto Fringe as well as other Fringe locations across America.
