On June 30, just a few days from now, we will be closing our books on the 2012-13 season and launching into the 2013-14 season. In order to sustain the great quality of the work we present on stage, the wonderful faculty, accompanists and facilities of our school, and our initiatives that bring dance education and performances to public school children and the community, we need your support!
Here are 10 exciting things we have in store for next season:

More DREAMS achieved:
Our alums follow their dreams and many are currently dancing with top companies around the world, including New York City Ballet, Ballet West, Paul Taylor Dance Company, Oregon Ballet Theatre, Kansas City Ballet, American Repertory Ballet, plus Broadway, TV, movies, prestigious university programs and more. Our scholarship programs create opportunities for those who would not otherwise be able to follow their dreams.

 #6 - More LIVE Music: In addition to our commitment to live music in our classrooms for all ballet classes, we also strive to commission live music for our performances. Next year, at State Theatre, we will bring you Romeo and Juliet and Nutcracker with full orchestras!
