Our History
From a ballet teachers retreat organized by Esther Igho Oladipupo the director of Kingdom Ballet Company, the Association of Ballet Teachers of Nigeria was birthed.The Founder Esther Igho Oladipupo shared her vision of bringing ballet teachers of Nigeria under one roof to achieving a common goal. She titled it " BUILDING A DANCE COMMUNITY FOR BALLET TEACHERS IN NIGERIA "
She explained how so much can be achieved as an association, creating a learning environment for ballet teachers to attain professionalism in the art. Offering environments that support growth in a positive way such as, ballet teachers retreat for member teachers, attending teachers training and workshops in local, national and international avenues, making sure all member teacher strives for excellence, giving members a recognition in Nigeria and abroad, creating opportunities for their student, harmonizing the relationship among teachers with same interests by encouraging collaboration and partnership among members of the association.
Announcement
The Association of Ballet Teachers of Nigeria is setting up dance libraries in various parts of the country. This project was inspired to help improve the system of dance education in Nigeria.
Alot of Ballet Studios are owned and taught by self trained teachers before the association's recent training with professionals. These studios are with little or no resources to aid their exposure to the right knowledge.
We desire to train the mind as well as the body, since a good application can only come from understanding a given knowledge.
We want to learn right so we can teach right. Help us grow ballet in Nigeria by donating one, two or more books or DVD'S to the Association of Ballet Teachers of Nigeria library, designed to be in various ballet studios providing trainings across the country.
