Ballet Misha Performing Company

Ballet Misha is a non-profit performing dance company that was founded by Amy Fortier in 2008. The company is named in memorial of Michele Leslie, an amazing dancer and founder of the Dimensions in Dance school, and aims to further Michele Leslie’s efforts to bring quality dance training and performance opportunities to the greater Manchester area.

As New Hampshire is one of the few states without a large resident professional dance company, Ballet Misha aims to fill the void by offering the community exposure to professional caliber dance performance. Ballet Misha is primarily an Adult Dance Company. Whereas children often have opportunities to perform, non-professional or semi-professional adult dancers seldom do. Ballet Misha’s premiere performance in March of 2009 had over 30 adult dancers, and a few teenagers.

Money raised through Ballet Misha’s fundraising efforts and donations is used for scholarships to help facilitate dance training for talented young Dancers. Thus far, Ballet Misha has awarded two $500 scholarships. Entry into Ballet Misha Performing Company is by Audition and if you are interested, please inquire at Dimensions In Dance at 668-4196.

If you are interested in making a tax-deductible donation to Ballet Misha, or in volunteering, please contact Dimensions in Dance at 668-4196, or e-mail amylaurelfortier@hotmail.com
