EXECUTIVE BOARD

The Ensemble Ballet Theatre Executive Board is a passionate group of leaders and volunteers who care deeply about our dancers, our families, and the communities we serve. We guide the vision and direction of EBT, ensuring everything we do stays grounded in our mission to enrich our communities through the dance arts. We work closely with our Artistic Director, staff, and committees to support performances, programs, and opportunities that are inclusive, accessible, and meaningful for all. At the end of the day, we are committed to creating a welcoming environment where every dancer feels seen, supported, and inspired, and where our communities can experience the joy and impact of dance.
