About Us
The Company
Ballet Tessera is a contemporary ballet company created to push the boundaries of dance. Our vision is to create art through an amalgamation of genres while remaining loyal to our core ballet foundation. We know the rules, but are daring enough to break them! Our dream is to be a mecca for artists whose passions align with breaking the stylistic norms in order to create unique and inspiring contemporary ballet works.
Why Tessera?
The inception of art begins with an idea, a catalyst initiating the creative process. Whether the piece begins with a stroke, a single chisel, or a step, it is a fragment of the finished work. Tessera was founded on the idea that every dancer plays a crucial role in the creation of the final piece, much like a mosaic relies on pieces of stone, tile, and glass to form its final picture. Every size, shape, and color is a cherished and essential element in the final design.
Our Mission
The mission of Ballet Tessera is to inspire a love and appreciation for the art of ballet and contemporary ballet by combining artistic excellence with innovative and exhilarating performances featuring both new commissions and original interpretations of classical iconic works. The Company strives for excellence in artistry, technique, and training, and plays a strong role in providing the community with the opportunity to experience the arts in a greater way.
Our Purpose
The purpose of Ballet Tessera is to provide a quality professional contemporary ballet company so talented dancers could pursue their dreams, to create a company that would garner respect and bring other artists to Central Florida. The company is here to provide valuable artistic opportunities and experiences to enrich the creative vitality of Central Florida.
