About Us

We at Transformación Ballet (registered as a 501c3 in the United States of America under Transformation Ballet Inc.) view ballet as a gift of dance from God and as a tool to reach out to the community and share the love of Christ, bringing a new light to how ballet is taught. We strive to grow children’s self-worth and determination through the art of dance and the value they receive when recognizing their worth in the LORD, Yeshua.

We integrate Bible studies into our dance classes and offer a variety of dance styles to youth from all socioeconomic backgrounds, including local orphanages, on Lake Atitlán in Guatemala. We challenge and motivate our students on an individual level while teaching them how to create and attain goals in a healthy, supportive environment. As ballet is not prevalent in this area nor widespread across the country or Latin America, we are able to share this particular art form with children underrepresented and unreached in the dance world.

Aside from in-studio dance classes and with the support of a local trauma-informed psychologist, we also provide academic support through our scholarship program, Bible studies, English classes and cultural experiences through our Cultural Exchange Program with our Studio Sisters worldwide.  We also travel to give group dance classes to children living in children's homes. Aside from classes at the children's home/orphanage, we also provide the opportunity for students to integrate and join the in-studio dance program. Learn more about our Orphanage Dance Program.
