School Show Perfomances

Many of the ballet perfomances occur during school hours so that local schools may attend. Students who are perfoming are encouraged to request this time as education enhancement so that they willl not be marked absent. Most school principals gladly approve these forms since their funding is based on student attendance and absenses are undesired. Forms must be submitted several weeks BEFORE the event.
