Festive Attire

Audrée and Bud Estey founded the Princeton Ballet Society in 1954 with a mission to bring the joy, beauty, artistry and discipline of classical and contemporary dance to New Jersey and nationwide audiences and to dance students through artistic and educational programs, presented by a financially responsible organization.

This mission is fulfilled through: American Repertory Ballet – a preeminent classical and contemporary ballet company; Princeton Ballet School – one of the largest non-profit dance schools in the nation; and ARB’s Access and Enrichment Initiatives – including DANCE POWER, a 27 year collaboration with The New Brunswick Public School District.

We hope you will join us at this spirited event to help support all of this programming. We look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,
Christine Chen, Managing Director
Douglas Martin, Company Director
Mary Pat Robertson, School Director
