A GIFT OF DANCE 

The Warrenton Ballet Company, formed in September 2005, is charitable (501(C)(3), non-profit organization dedicated to providing concert performance opportunities on a pre-professional level to aspiring dancers throughout the Fauquier County area. The brainchild of Linda Voelpel, Director of The Ballet Academy of Warrenton, the Company was formed in celebration of her five years of instructing local children and adults in classical ballet technique, jazz, tap, modern and hip-hop.
 
In September 2005, all area dancers were invited to audition for positions in the Senior, Senior Apprentice, and Junior Companies. Those dancers have worked hard to provide 3 concerts in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

In September 2006 ALL area dancers were again invited to audition for ten positions in the Company. The dancers selected are committed to sharing their dance experience along with their hopes and dreams for a better community and future. They then performed a Christmas benefit concert on December 9th and 10th, 2006. Click here to see some pictures of the dancers in that concert.  In January 2007 auditions were held to fill out the 16 positions for the Spring Concerts. See Company Picture.

The Board of Directors of The Warrenton Ballet Company is fully invested in promoting an open exchange of artistic expression through performances, outreach programs and collaboration with other artistic mediums. We welcome THE WARRENTON BALLET to our community.

As 2006 - 2007 performance year winds down, our new dance company is just beginning to spread its wings and fly - or rather, dance. It is the beginning of a magnificent journey of growth and adventure; and I come from a long line of adventurous ancestors who are no doubt looking down from Above and smiling. We hope you will come with us and grow with us on our dance journey.

We promise you an enriching adventure and the opportunity to help our area’s young people realize their dreams as we watch the fine arts grow and enhance our community and our lives.

Bye for now,

Linda Voelpel
Executive Director
