I’m Marina Profy.
I’m fundraising for First State Ballet Theatre.
My name is Marina Profy, and I am currently a dancer with First State Ballet Theatre! I grew up in the Philadelphia area studying all forms of dance and graduated from The Rock School for Dance Education. Since then I’ve gone on to dance professionally with a handful of ballet companies, but found myself happiest with First State Ballet Theatre! I’ve danced two seasons so far, and I am looking forward to my third season. First State Ballet Theatre is continuously creating art for Delaware while simultaneously supporting their dancers. It’s been a joy working for an organization that is constantly growing and representing ballet and our art in such a special way. Please consider donating to my fundraiser to continue supporting our art, and I look forward to seeing you at our shows!
About First State Ballet Theatre
Mission: To present ballet boldly to Delaware To enrich our community with live professional performances To inspire and educate dancers and audiences of the future To connect local youth with a creative, inclusive movement experience
Now in its 22st season, First State Ballet Theatre is Delaware’s only professional ballet company and serves thousands of Delawareans each year through our performances, our school, and our outreach programs. FSBT’s performing artists come from around the world to dance in our mainstage season at The Grand Opera House and other performances statewide. The School of FSBT is Delaware’s leader in classical ballet training and was recently named in the Top 5% of U.S. Ballet Academies by an independent study at Northeastern University. In 2019 FSBT created the National Ballet Competition, which awards thousands of dollars in scholarships for aspiring dancers to prestigious summer programs around the country. FSBT's outreach programs serve thousands of Delawareans with low-cost or free dance instruction and lecture-demos in schools and community centers statewide.
