One of those unforgettable moments from the past season: watching our dancers bring Balanchine’s “Who Cares?” to life was a dream come true. 🌟 Thank you, @jeniferringer and @jamesfayette , for your incredible work, support, and kindness.
We’re also deeply grateful to the @georgebalanchinetrust for granting us the honor of performing the entire ballet. This achievement is monumental for a youth organization like ours, and I’m incredibly thankful we get to do this at this level. ❤️ @caryballetcompany
Thank you to everyone who has believed in this dream and supported us along the way. Your support means the world to all of us.🙏✨

Our dancers have been working so hard with perfecting the last minute details for Jill Bahr’s “Alice in Wonderland” and George Balanchine’s “Who Cares?”
We still have a few seats left! Grab them while they’re still available!
