Studio Improvements We Love!
This year, thanks to very generous donations of nearly $11,000 from various donors and supporters, we have made many improvements to the studios of Southern California Ballet. We hope this makes everyone even more proud to call themselves a part of Southern California Ballet!
Enchanted Forest: Congratulations!
We wish to congratulate everyone involved in "Enchanted Forest!” This year’s September all-academy performance was outstanding in both production value and the level to which the dancers performed.
2018 Summer Intensives
This year, we debuted a new program in our summer lineup designed specifically for Company-level dancers: the Summer Masterclass Series. The new program allowed us to truly challenge our highest-level students, and expose them to all new teachers from near and far. As a rigorous full-day program, it competes with ballet schools of international repute.
Cecchetti Exams 2018 - 100% Pass Rate!
Our annual Cecchetti exams (we are proud to be the only school in the region to train in the Cecchetti method and use the Cecchetti USA syllabus and exam system) took place in May, and we are pleased to report a 100% pass rate.
Gala & Coppélia: Major Successes!
Last year, we tried a new approach to the annual fundraising gala, and decided that it would specifically support the planned spring production of Coppélia. The 2018 Gala—aptly named Coppélia’s Ball— managed to raise over $10,000 and supported our efforts to put on an amazing production of Coppélia that will endure many generations of Southern California Ballet dancers and the SCB community.
