About the school
Sullivan Ballet is a school for families who desire their children to receive quality training in a Godly, healthy, and safe environment. Ballet is beautiful, but often comes with baggage. Many schools promote immodest movement or costuming. And sadly, ballet is also known for pushing their ballerinas to such extremes that eating disorders and frequent injury occur. These are things that will not be praised or pushed in the school. We hope everyone is comfortable here, and can enjoy the freedom of dance without pressure to be something unedifying.

About the director:
Kimberly Holmes trained, danced and taught in Dramatic Truth School of Ballet in Kansas City. From there she moved and began a small ballet school in Salem MO, as well as starting an English Country Dance group, The Jovial Beggars, in the Rolla area. Beginning in 2006 she taught at Dayspring School of the Arts in St. Louis for a few years, and in recent times has married and had her four beautiful children. Now that they are no longer babies, the Lord has called her to open Sullivan Ballet to bring the joy of dance to the Sullivan Area.

Her husband Doug is the pastor at The Rock Church, here in Sullivan, and together they pastor and lead the congregation, while raising their 4 children. The ballet school is an exciting new adventure the Lord has them on.
