Belle of the Ball
“Belle of the Ball” has been created to empower every dancer and performer to take the stage with confidence, regardless of their financial circumstance. By gathering gently used dance costumes and redistributing to less privileged dancers, we strive to foster inclusivity, self-expression, and artistic growth within our dance community.
Belle of the Ball has developed a detailed training program to educate anyone that wishes to participate in this initiative, and experience the greatest joy of giving!

The frequency of use for a dance costume by a teenage dancer can vary depending on several factors such as the number of performances, the type of dance, and the dancer's involvement in competitions or recitals. Generally, a dance costume can be used multiple times throughout a performance season or even across multiple seasons if well-maintained. Some dancers may use the same costume for several performances, while others may have a different costume for each routine. It's not uncommon for a teenage dancer to wear a costume anywhere from a few times to several times throughout their dance career.
