BalletBase Community
BalletBase is the leading international community for dance professionals, associates and dance lovers that serves as a global communications network for real collaboration. It is based on invitation-only membership, which makes the social network unique and the connections authentic.
There are five simple points of the community:
- The community belongs to its members.
- On joining, a new member is automatically introduced to all the others and is free to connect with any member. However, we request that members respect each other’s privacy.
- We have formed BalletBase to clearly separate dance professionals from non-professionals in the belief that this is in the best interests of ballet and contemporary dance.
- Members will have the opportunity to vote for who and what is best in ballet and contemporary dance.
- As a united community we are able to provide real support for the creative and professional growth of our members.
