Congratulations to The Ringwood Ballet Group, the October Noel Jones Community Support Program grant recipient. Founded in 1962 The Ringwood Ballet Group has a long and esteemed history of teaching exceptional dance in Melbourne with many past students associated with the Group having gone on to make a career of ballet, first as performers and also as teachers.
Noel Jones is proud to contribute towards initiatives that support the arts in our local communities and Ringwood Ballet Group is a perfect example of this as a not for profit community organisation providing expert training in the art of Classical Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Contemporary, Character and Acrobatic Dance.
Ringwood Ballet Group has shared that the grant will go towards updating technology across their studio.
