Support athletes
Not only are Ballet Arkansas performers superb dancers; they are also elite athletes. Their training regimen is comparable to a major-league sports team, but on “game day,” they have to do it all with smiles on their faces. Pointe shoes, costumes, sets and choreography are all costly parts of putting on a professional production. Give the gift of support to these athletes at www.balletarkansas.org.
