The staff of Fayette Ballet has announced its relocation to a new facility at 102 North Georgia Highway 85.

Registration for fall classes is under way at the new studio. Classes are offered in jazz, tap, pre-ballet, classical ballet technique, pointe, creative dance and ballroom for children age 3 through adult. "Emphasis will be placed on building self esteem, developing the child to his greatest potential, and instilling a love for the dance," said Beverly Williamson, director of the Fayette Ballet.

The new site, which features a 2,000 square foot, air-conditioned dance area with barres, mirrors and sprung flooring, serves as the official home of the Fayette Ballet Performing Company and Fayette County's annual Nutcracker production.

"The expansion move will give the much needed space for company classes and Nutcracker rehearsals, as well as offer the opportunity for growth by building a broader base of community support," Williamson said.

The new location will also enable the ballet to expand its arts-in-depth dance enrichment program, Project FOCUS, which provides full, one-year dance scholarships to disadvantaged children in Fayette County.

Fayette Ballet is a Georgia non-profit cultural and educational organization, dedicated to enriching the cultural life of the community by presenting performances, lectures, demonstrations and seminars related to the dance and other associated arts, according to Williamson.
