The Children's Ballet Program, launched in summer 2024, was created to increase access to the arts within the Latino/Hispanic community in North Carolina. Directed by Alejandra Dore, an accredited and bilingual professor, the initiative offers culturally inclusive ballet classes that nurture artistic expression and discipline among young participants. By providing expert instruction in a welcoming environment, the program not only enhances artistic skills but also fosters confidence and cultural pride among Latino and Hispanic children, reinforcing The Hispanic League’s commitment to enriching community life through education and the arts.
