Mr. Mihailo Djuric realized many of his goals during the first three years of his tenure, and today the company performs locally and tours throughout New England.

The Center for Dance Education provides comprehensive training for students ages three through adult, giving all students the opportunity to perform. By successfully auditioning for the Junior Company, advanced ballet students have the opportunity to appear with the professional company dancers and renowned guest artists in major productions. The reputation of the professional company has improved, and the Center for Dance Education has become the foundation for the development of future dance professionals in Rhode Island.

To advance the company and school even further, the Board of Trustees recognized the need to have new studio space, and purchased a building in Providence in June 2001. Renovations, completed in September 2001, transformed the space into state-of-the-art studios for the dancers and students. Additional office and meeting space will enable the administrative staff to work more effectively and productively, allow for an expansion of the staff to develop a comprehensive educational outreach program, and support the artistic efforts of the company and school faculty.
