MISSION STATEMENT Ballet 314, led by Artistic Director Robert Poe and Executive Director Rachel Bodi, is a nonprofit professional ballet company dedicated to celebrating local talent in the St. Louis community. Our mission is to emphasize literacy through the arts via our main stage performances as well as our educational programming. "We aspire to provide encouragement and partnership with local organizations and to be a bridge for the arts in St. Louis." Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Ballet 314 is an equal opportunity organization and will not allow discrimination based upon age, ethnicity, ancestry, gender, national origin, disability, race, size, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, or any other status prohibited by applicable law. Ballet 314 is dedicated to creating a positive and supportive environment of collaboration and respect to all of our performers, leadership, and guests. The Company is committed to actively amplifying diversity in our leadership, performers, and our audiences to challenge the view of “what ballet looks like” and to showcase that “excellence comes in all shades.” Ballet 314 recognizes the insensitive, and oftentimes exclusionary culture that the title “ballet” can perpetuate, and is actively working to dismantle the toxic aspects of the craft. By fostering a space which respects our dancers’ mental and physical health, we are able to encourage our dancers to take agency and autonomy over their careers.
