Welcome to the ShamRockk Foundation Mentorship Program

At the ShamRockk Foundation, our mission is to champion young men in ballet as they make the critical leap from ballet school to the professional stage. This stage of a dancer’s journey is often filled with uncertainty—and even isolation—in a world that can feel lonely and disconnected for male dancers. Our goal is to provide not only the guidance and resources they need but also a strong sense of belonging and connection.


Through our collaboration with ballet-focused mentoring platforms, we’re already seeing the tangible impact of this work. Recent mentees, supported by Creative Generations mentors, have achieved remarkable milestones—earning spots in world-renowned summer intensives, securing company promotions, and receiving invitations to train with elite ballet programs. These successes are just the beginning of what’s possible when talented dancers are given the right tools, relationships, and support.


Alongside our exceptional and expanding team of mentors, we are building a program designed to go beyond technical training. We offer practical, real-world advice, professional insights, and a welcoming community that helps dancers navigate the unique challenges of this career path—reminding them they never have to walk it alone.


As we continue to grow and refine this program, our focus remains on creating a strong and enduring support system—one that fosters resilience, connection, artistic excellence, and opportunity. We’re excited to share updates soon as we launch new resources and continue to build a community where young men in ballet can thrive both as artists and as individuals.

The Male Dance Connection

The Male Dance Connection

The Male Dance Connection exists to unite male dancers worldwide, creating a community of engagement, learning, and growth. Like the ShamRockk Foundation, they believe that boys and men in dance face unique challenges that are often overlooked—and it is their mission to meet those needs with resources, mentorship, and collaboration. In fostering safe connections, shared learning, and mutual support, TMDC empowers male dancers to grow personally, artistically, and professionally—strengthening not only the individual but the art form itself. 


This includes:


  • Provide information, answer questions, and connect male dancers with resources that support successful dance education.
  • Foster artistic growth and personal development by encouraging safe friendships and cooperation among male dancers.
  • Offer boys-only training opportunities for those who may not otherwise experience an all-male environment.
  • Support dancers of all levels—from recreational to professional—while honoring each unique journey.
  • Build collaboration among artists, educators, and patrons to elevate the dance community as a whole.


Together with the ShamRockk Foundation, The Male Dance Connection is building a future where no male dancer feels isolated, and every dancer has the support needed to thrive on stage and beyond.

Creative Generations Dance Mentoring

Creative Generations provides personalized mentorship and whole-person wellness support for aspiring professional dancers. This includes one-on-one sessions with former professional dancers, covering a range of topics including training, audition preparation, career strategy, and navigating the complex world of dance.


Dancers also gain access to a full wellness team of former dancers and licensed experts, including support for injury prevention, dance-specific nutrition, mental wellness, breathwork, and optional biofeedback.


This program is designed to build confidence, clarity, and longevity in a dancer’s career—offering the kind of holistic support elite athletes now consider essential.


ShamRockk is proud to have sponsored four young men into this program, all of whom are already seeing powerful professional results—from contract offers to stronger audition experiences, improved performance confidence, and a deeper sense of support on and off the stage.

Coming Soon: ShamRockk Peer-to-Peer Support & Community

Ballet is more than just technique and training—it’s about the people who lift you up along the way. At the ShamRockk Foundation, we believe that support, connection, and shared experience are just as important as talent when it comes to building a successful career in dance.


That’s why we’re creating a peer-to-peer support network and community designed specifically for young male ballet dancers. This will be a space to connect, share experiences, and support one another through the challenges of training, auditions, and professional transitions.


🎭 What to Expect:
✅ A private online community for discussions and mentorship
✅ Peer-led support groups and Q&A sessions
✅ Insights from professional dancers and industry experts
✅ A space to talk about mental health, career challenges, and personal growth

💬 Stay tuned! More details are coming soon on how you can join, participate, and be part of a stronger, more connected ballet community.
