Help Bring "A Fairy Tale" to the Stage!
Tax deductible
Performances are fun and magical for dancers! They also provide invaluable experiences that help a student grow as a dancer and allow them to build important life skills! Performances help to develop independence, confidence, determination, teamwork, and the ability to use everything they have learned to rise to the occasion! This May, Texture Ballet School will be performing an original story ballet "A Fairy Tale", with choreography by Artistic Director Alan Obuzor. The performance will also feature an array of new contemporary works by Alan Obuzor and Texture Contemporary Ballet's Associate Artistic Director Kelsey Bartman. On May 30th, the students and staff of Texture Ballet School will present Texture Ballet School's first annual Spring Performance at Bethel Park High School.
Each year our students work towards a fundraising goal, but with the pandemic it’s been more difficult on our students and their families. Ticket sales play an important role in bringing in revenue to help cover production expenses, but this year due to social distancing requirements we are limited in the amount of tickets that we will be able to sell. Because of these challenges, our goal is to raise $3,000 through this campaign. Your support will greatly help our students, who have put so much work into rehearsals learning all new choreography. All funds raised will help offset the costs of the spring performance for dancers and Texture Ballet School. Texture Ballet School is part of Texture Contemporary Ballet, a 501-3(c) non-profit organization.

All About Texture Ballet School
Our goal at Texture Ballet School is to make students fall in love with dance while helping each individual reach their fullest potential. Texture Ballet School provides high quality ballet training which readies students for the professional dance world and fully prepares them to pursue careers in classical and contemporary ballet. We provide a thorough and rigorous ballet program with a well-rounded dance education that can be used as a foundation to pursue any style of classical or contemporary dance that they wish.
While we aim to train the next generation of dancers, choreographers, and dance instructors, we realize that not everyone will choose to follow one of these paths. The reason to study in a professional ballet training program is not only to pursue a career in dance but also to learn all of the life lessons that come along with studying dance.
Values of a Dance Education
Through dance we strive to teach our students:
· Respect for themselves
· Respect for others
· Discipline
· Commitment
· Confidence
· The value of hard work
· How to be self-motivated
· How to work with others as a team
· Creative thinking and problem solving
· There is always room for improvement.
· You won't always get everything you want.
· An appreciation for things that come naturally to oneself
· An appreciation for things that don't come naturally to oneself
· The fact that most worthwhile things take a lot of hard work and don't happen overnight.
· There are no shortcuts to developing real knowledge and mastery of a craft.
· Some things will always come easier to someone else and the response to that is to work twice as hard to get the same results - and there's nothing wrong with that.
· No matter how much you learn there is always more to learn.
· There will always be someone else who is better at a given thing, but each person is important and each person has their own gifts and strengths.
These lessons will be values that our students can and will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Texture Ballet School is accepting and inclusive of all people. We provide a safe, positive, nurturing environment where each student can learn, grow, and reach their fullest potential.
