"BALLET FOR EVERYBODY"
The Caston Chamber Ballet, established in 2004
Chamber Ballet company located in Webster Groves, Missouri.
Founded in 2004 by Torris and Shannon Caston, Caston Chamber Ballet
provides exciting performance opportunities for dancers with a passion for
ballet. As artists, these dancers fulfill their creative desires and dance becomes
part of their lives forever.
The organization's philosophy, "Ballet for Everybody", reawakens the notion that
ballet encompasses an entire spectrum of performers and support individuals.
Dancers, choreographers, stage crew, costume designers, lighting technicians,
and volunteers devote their time, energy and expertise towards a common goal
of presenting dance to a diverse audience.
The chamber-sized ensemble is designed to bring ballet to smaller
communities.
Both classical and contemporary pieces expand the perception of ballet through
Community Outreach and educational programs. St. Louis area collaborations
have included The St. Louis Cultural Flamenco Society, Company in Residence
at McKinley CLA St. Louis Public School, Parkway School District, Desmet,
and Crossroads College Preparatory, St. Louis Dance Festival Showcase, and
National Dance Week at Union Station.
CCB recognizes each dancer's individual lifestyle, talents, and strengths, and
ensures their success by fashioning choreography appropriately. The result is
promotion of self confidence and personal growth as part of a positive company.
Extending art into the community through performances and workshops, Caston
Chamber Ballet is committed to the preservation of ballet traditions, enhancing
experiences of audiences, and building support for the future. Promoting the art
of ballet through out St. Louis enriches the lives of all.
