Earlier this year Cape Cole received the most gracious, touching, personally signed letters from students at the Thomas Armour Youth Ballet, Miami’s oldest ballet school.

Thanks to the support of a few of our clients in the financial services industry, talented students participated in a summer intensive program at the Dance Theatre of Harlem.

The mission of the Thomas Armour Youth Ballet is to provide the opportunity for professional ballet training to talented, but financially disadvantaged children. The organization aims to diversify the world of classical ballet with regard to race, gender and socio-economic status.

The impact this organization has on the community is tremendous. Indeed, 100 percent of the students who complete the Thomas Armour Youth Ballet program either enter university, or go on to dance professionally.
