Connecting newcomer youth to dance creates a bridge between cultures, confidence, and community.
Working in partnership with immigrant serving agencies, Alberta Ballet Community is active across the province with beginner ballet programs for newcomer youth. Through movement, young people discover a universal language that transcends words—helping them build belonging, express identity, and connect with peers in their new home. Dance supports emotional well-being, fosters social inclusion – both for students and their families – and celebrates the diversity that strengthens Alberta’s communities.
