Take It Outside Grant
We are thrilled and thankful to announce that we have been awarded a “Take it Outside” initiative grant from Governor Gina Raimondo and Rhode Island Commerce to build an outdoor community stage. This is a part of the new Secret Garden of The State Ballet of Rhode Island which is on the grounds of our studio. We will be able to continue our programming outside and welcome other artists and organizations from our community to use this creative space. This long-time dream is coming to fruition and will be enjoyed by dancers and artists of all genres for generations to come!

Herci and Mark
I’m very proud to say my daughter dances for The State Ballet of Rhode Island. Mrs. Marsden is a wonderful, strong woman who cares very much for each of her dancers. I couldn’t have asked for better role models for my daughters.
Very welcoming, Brae Crest’s doors are open to all. Whether you have trained in ballet for years, you are bringing your child for his or her first class, or you yourself are pursuing a long time childhood dream, there is a spot for everyone.
