Relevé (pronounced rel-uh-VEY) is a ballet term that means “to rise” in French.

The Relevé program is one of Milwaukee Ballet's cornerstone Community Engagement initiatives, annually providing ballet training to hundreds of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students from partnering Milwaukee Public schools.

Participating Schools

Our current partners are ALBA Elementary School, Allen-Field Elementary School, and Milwaukee Parkside School for the Arts.

Continuing Dance Education

Students participate in the year-long ballet training program with weekly classes, showcasing their growth at an end-of-year performance share at their school. Students receive their own pair of ballet shoes as part of the program.

Once students graduate from 4th grade, they are eligible to receive a scholarship to attend classes through Milwaukee Ballet School & Academy.

Thank You!

 Relevé is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors.
