Male Dancers
As we look ahead to our 2011-2012 season, Continental Ballet Company is looking for male dancers to join our company. We have two paid positions available and several apprentice positions open. As an apprentice you would gain performing experience and receive free training. If interested, please contact us or send a DVD link. Our performance season starts in September 2011 and runs through March 2012.
Peter and the Wolf
Continental Ballet Company received a Learning Grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council that will allow us to bring a dance residency to area schools. The four day residency culminates with a performance by our professional dancers of the ballet Peter and the Wolf. Our wonderful costumer, Claire, is busy working on costumes and set designer Robin has a beautiful set planned. Local students are in for a wonderful look at the art of classical ballet!

Valentine Success!
Our special performance for our benefactors was a great success. Founder/Director Riet Velthuisen put together an eclectic program of beauty and skill. The dancers did a superb job and at the reception afterward, our patrons expressed their delight with the program.
Once again, thank you for your support!

End of Year Tax Deductable Donation
Blizzard Benefaction for the Ballet
As we are nearing the end of 2010, we respectfully ask you to consider making a year-end contribution to the Continental Ballet Company. We lost a major source of revenue on December 11th when the winter blizzard hit. The blizzard affected many businesses but it was especially hard on non-profit organizations.
As we are nearing the end of 2010, we respectfully ask you to consider making a year-end contribution to the Continental Ballet Company. We lost a major source of revenue on December 11th when the winter blizzard hit. The blizzard affected many businesses but it was especially hard on non-profit organizations.
We had both a 3:00 PM and 7:30 PM performance on December 11th. The evening performance was not sold out, so we were anticipating selling tickets at the door. This expected revenue is in our budget to cover dancers and stage crew wages. Now we are at a loss of several thousand dollars.
If you have the means to make a tax deductable donation, we will greatly appreciate your assistance in helping us to offset our budget loss due to the blizzard.
With grateful appreciation,
Continental Ballet Company
