New Ballet Ensemble & School is a Memphis-based performing arts organization founded in 2001 that operates as a Community School of the Arts with a small professional teaching and performing ensemble and an apprenticeship program. The organization provides high-quality dance training to youth from diverse backgrounds, leveraging a rotating roster of master teachers to broaden access to excellence in dance education. Its activities include original and innovative performances, as well as in-school educational presentations, and a Pathways program offering free after-school and in-school classes in collaboration with local public schools in high-need areas. Partnerships with human service organizations address immigration, poverty alleviation, and youth development to foster community among newcomers and underserved communities, with leadership focused on building bridges between different groups. A notable recent development is the appointment of a new executive director in 2024, reflecting ongoing organizational growth and leadership changes in the Memphis arts community.
