Dance is a universal language which unites us, as human beings. This language breaks through barriers of race, ethnicity, religion, and gender. It unifies us, at the most basic level, creating a global form of communication which brings us together. Join us in recognizing the power of dance to transform lives, male and female, level socio-economic thresholds, and celebrate the gift of dance in our lives, and the positive impact it has on our communities.
In 2008, Bayer Ballet Company 501(c)3 was formed to serve as a community service organization, committed to providing accessibility to the art and culture of the Vaganova method of classical ballet. Our mission is to enhance the cultural well-being of our community by creating equitable accessibility to the Vaganova method through educational and interactive events and world-class performances, which expose and explore the intricacies of this method; thereby, providing the purest experience and insights into this artform. We strive to cultivate and foster an appreciation and love for the artform, providing opportunities for emerging artists in our community to engage, educate and collaborate with world-renowned master artists.
Bayer Ballet Company is a registered 501©(3) non-profit corporation, tax ID 26-3414450.

𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, we are creating 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 for our community, while 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐲 into a center of artistic excellence on par with its technological achievements. Whether it will be done virtually or on the stage, we are determined to forge ahead to preserve the art of ballet in our community.
𝘋𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴, we are focused on giving dancers a program focused on health and wellness, creativity, and social-emotional life skill development, through the art of ballet.
𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞. As we continue working from our homes, dancers are learning to be resilient; they are adapting and continuing to develop essential life skills (discipline, perseverance, accountability) while finding freedom in the safe refuge it provides through its intrinsic healing qualities. This year, we have seven graduates at Bayer Ballet Academy, who have received acceptance into prestigious programs - Harvard, UC Berkeley, New York University, to name a few. 𝗪𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐭. We have worked hard to develop a program that is dedicated to 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐬. Achieving success, in both, presents a tough decision for many of our graduates, as they move onto the next chapter. Many have the training and capability to pursue ballet professionally, but also have the potential to achieve a successful career outside of dance. We truly feel dance teaches essential life skills, which students carry with them throughout their lives, serving as a transferable set of values to any career path they choose. We support their decisions and are grateful to be part of their journeys.

San Francisco Arts Alliance, a loose coalition of 15 large local arts organizations, worked with San Francisco Mayor London Breed to get 23 mayors of major cities around the country to sign a joint letter to Congress, dated Monday, May 11, asking for aid for artists, arts workers, and arts companies to mitigate the financial effects of the coronavirus.
“The COVID-19 crisis shuttered arts and cultural events, resulting in catastrophic financial impact on individual artists and nonprofit arts organizations,” reads the letter, which was co-signed by Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, among others in addition to Breed. “Left without earned revenue, these artists and organizations are in free fall.” (Source: Datebook)
