28 FOR THE STORYBOOK SEASON OF 2019-2020, THE COMPANY WAS SET TO PRODUCE THREE MAIN-STAGE PROGRAMS - THE FALL SHOWCASE (2 PERFORMANCES), THE NUTCRACKER (4 PERFORMANCES), AND GALA PERFORMANCE (2 PERFORMANCES), - AND TWO ANCILLARY PROGRAMS SERVICING FAMILIES OF SMALLER CHILDREN. PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: THE FALL SHOWCASE FEATURED A NEW, ORIGINAL BALLET, AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, ADAPTED BY EXECUTIVE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR KRISTIN KINGSLEY FROM THE BOOK BY JULES VERNE. THESE PERFORMANCES FEATURED 33 MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL AGED PERFORMERS AND 1 PROFESSIONAL GUEST ARTIST. THE MUSIC WAS COMPRISED OF PIECES COMPOSED BY ROBERT SCHUMANN, EDVARD GRIEG, THOMAS ARNE, AND PERCY GRAINGER. THIS PRODUCTION PREMIERED AT LONGMONTS STEWART AUDITORIUM AT THE CITY OF LONGMONT MUSEUM, AND WAS ACCOMPANIED BY SOLO PIANIST DEVON NEWBURN. 1 PROFESSIONAL LIGHTING CREW MEMBER CREATED LIGHTING FOR THIS PERFORMANCE. 21 VOLUNTEERS GAVE OVER 102 HOURS TO ALTER COSTUMES AND BUILD SETS AND PROPS. AUDIENCES TOTALED 326 AND AN INSPIRED CREATIVE MADE A PHOTOGRAPHY OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY IN THE LOBBY AT THE EVENT. OUR 8TH ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF THE NUTCRACKER FEATURED 113 YOUTH PERFORMERS RANGING IN AGES FROM 5 TO 18 YEARS OLD (CULLED FROM LOCAL DANCE STUDIOS), 1 PROFESSIONAL GUEST ARTIST, AND 11 ADULT/TEEN VOLUNTEER PERFORMERS. THIS PERFORMANCE MARKED OUR FIRST NUTCRACKER WITH AN IN-HOUSE ORCHESTRA COMPRISED OF 32 FREELANCE PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS (WEVE PREVIOUSLY HIRED AMATEUR COMMUNITY ORCHESTRAS), PLUS CONDUCTOR, RICK THOMAS. THE NUTCRACKER IS A TRADITIONAL HOLIDAY BALLET AND WAS CHOREOGRAPHED BY KRISTEN DEMAREE, MATTHEW HELMS, KRISTIN KINGSLEY, AND STEPHANIE TULEY. THE NIWOT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT TECHNICAL CREW WAS LED BY DAVID DENMAN (PRODUCTION STAGE MANAGER AND LIGHTING DESIGNER) AND JASON WATKINS (STAGE TECHNOLOGY TEACHER). MR. DENMAN BRINGS HIS PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT BACKGROUND TO THIS YOUNG CREW. HE IS THE BUSINESS AGENT FOR THE I.A.T.S.E. LOCAL 229 SERVING NORTHERN COLORADO AND SOUTHERN WYOMING. PAIGE DENMAN, DAUGHTER OF DAVID DENMAN, WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERN AS THE STAGE MANAGER. IT WAS EXCITING TO SEE OUR MISSION COME TO LIFE IN THAT CSB IS FOSTERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS BOTH ON STAGE AND BEHIND THE SCENES. BRYAN STADTHERR SERVED AS OUR TECHNICAL DIRECTOR. OVER 114 VOLUNTEERS GAVE OVER 550 HOURS ALTERING COSTUMES, BUILDING SETS AND PROPS, AND OTHER WORK BEHIND-THE-SCENES TO MAKE THIS PRODUCTION A REALITY. SVVSD NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY STUDENTS USHERED AT THIS EVENT UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF VOLUNTEER KAREN KRUSE AND BOARD MEMBER KIMBERLY TAYLOR. AUDIENCES TOTALED 2305. THE GALA PERFORMANCE, FEATURING THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE WOULD HAVE CULMINATED THE COMPANYS 8TH YEAR AS A NONPROFIT AND ITS 22ND ANNIVERSARY PERFORMANCE SEASON. DUE TO COVID-19, THE PRODUCTION REHEARSALS ENDED MARCH 12, 2020. THIS PRODUCTION CONSISTED OF A 3-ACT, CLASSICAL BALLET COMPOSED BY ELGAR AND ARRANGED BY CONDUCTOR RICK THOMAS. 80 YOUTH DANCERS WERE CAST AND HAD BEEN REHEARSING WEEKLY. THEY RANGED IN AGE FROM 5 TO 18 YEARS OLD (CULLED FROM LOCAL DANCE STUDIOS), 1 PROFESSIONAL GUEST ARTISTS, AND 4 TEEN/ADULT VOLUNTEER PERFORMERS. EXECUTIVE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR KRISTIN KINGSLEY CHOREOGRAPHED THE BALLET BASED ON THE BOOK OF THE SAME NAME BY C.S. LEWIS UNDER THE RIGHTS FROM THE CS LEWIS COMPANY LTD IN ENGLAND. PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS WERE BEING CONTRACTED TO PLAY IN IN-HOUSE ORCHESTRA CONDUCTED BY RICK THOMAS. THE NIWOT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT TECHNICAL CREW WAS LED BY DAVID DENMAN (PRODUCTION STAGE MANAGER AND LIGHTING DESIGNER), JASON WATKINS (STAGE TECHNOLOGY TEACHER), AND BRYAN STADTHERR (TECHNICAL DIRECTOR). VOLUNTEERS WERE IN THE PROCESS OF ALTERING COSTUMES. THIS PERFORMANCE WAS CANCELLED DUE TO HEALTH CONCERNS FOR THE COMMUNITY. A FINANCIAL LOSS WAS INCURRED BASED ON THE PERFORMANCE CANCELLATION THROUGH TICKET SALES, PRORATED PERFORMANCE FEES, AND BOUTIQUE MERCHANDISE SALES. ADDITIONAL ANNUAL ANCILLARY PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE SUGAR PLUM TEA PARTY (FALL) AND PETIT BALLET (SPRING), WHICH WAS CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19. THESE PROGRAMS FOCUS ON SERVICING FAMILIES WITH SMALLER CHILDREN AND INCORPORATE EDUCATIONAL NARRATIVES TO KEEP YOUNG CHILDREN ENGAGED WHILE INTRODUCING THEM TO CLASSICAL BALLET. IN 2019, CSB CREATED TWO CASTS TO SERVE THE HIGH DEMAND OF PERFORMING AT THE SUGAR PLUM TEA PARTY. 50 YOUTH PERFORMERS DANCED OVER THE TWO DAY EVENT. CSB EXCEEDED PAST VOLUNTEER NUMBERS WITH 132 VOLUNTEERS GIVING OVER 2579 HOURS TO HELP US SERVE OUR AUDIENCE MEMBERS. AUDIENCES TOTALED 386 FOR THE SUGAR PLUM TEA PARTY. PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: YOUTH PERFORMERS CULTIVATE A VARIETY OF SOFT SKILLS THAT HELP PREPARE THEM FOR THEIR FUTURE ENDEAVORS, WHETHER OR NOT THEY CHOOSE TO PURSUE DANCE AS A PROFESSIONAL CAREER. DURING THE REHEARSAL PROCESS, STUDENTS MUST LEARN TO BE ATTENTIVE, DETAIL-ORIENTED SELF-ADVOCATES WHO ARE AWARE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AND THE NEEDS OF THOSE AROUND THEM. THEY LEARN TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND TO RESPOND RESPECTFULLY AND KINDLY WHEN OTHERS NEED THEIR HELP. THEY DEVELOP A STRONG WORK ETHIC VIA THIS PROCESS, REMAINING COMMITTED TO THEIR OWN EXCELLENCE AS WELL AS THE COLLABORATIVE SUCCESS OF THE OVERALL PRODUCTION. DURING PERFORMANCE, THE STUDENTS MUST PERFORM WITH CLARITY AND HONESTY BEFORE LARGE AUDIENCES. THEY MUST REACT PROACTIVELY TO THE CHALLENGES THAT LIVE PERFORMANCE CAN BRING, BE IT A DROPPED PROP OR A MISSED NOTE IN THE ORCHESTRA. THROUGH LIVE PERFORMANCE, STUDENTS REALIZE THEY CAN PREPARE AND WORK TO IMPROVE THEIR PERSONAL SUCCESS; HOWEVER, THE OVERALL SUCCESS OF THE PRODUCTION REQUIRES THE COLLABORATION OF HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING STAFF, VOLUNTEERS, STAGE HANDS, AND OTHER PERFORMERS. THESE ARE POWERFUL LESSONS THAT HELP OUR ALUM SUCCEED NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. ALUM ERIN DRUMMY (2016) GRADUATED WITH A BA IN POLITICAL SCIENCE FROM TAYLOR UNIVERSITY IN 2020. AFTER THE GALA PERFORMANCE WAS CANCELLED, ERIN DRUMMY SPOKE TO THE SENIORS IN THE PERFORMANCE COMPANY TO UPLIFT THEM AFTER THE CRUSHING CANCELLATION OF THEIR FINAL PERFORMANCE. ALL WERE GIVEN AN IDEA ABOUT THE TRANSITION FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO UNIVERSITY. ASHLEY NICOLL (2016) GRADUATED WITH A BA AND A MASTERS DEGREE IN MARINE BIOLOGY AND BIOLOGICAL OCEANOGRAPHY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO. NOW ASHLEY IS A TEACHING ASSISTANT AT SCRIPPS INSTITUTION OF OCEANOGRAPHY. BOTH OF THESE ALUMS WERE HIGH ACHIEVING, GIFTED DANCERS WITH CSB AND NOW ARE CARING, HIGHLY MOTIVATED YOUNG WOMEN GIVING BACK TO SOCIETY. SENIORS OF CSB HAD A ROUGH END OF THE SEASON WITH CANCELLATIONS OF GALA PERFORMANCE AND PETIT BALLET. BASED ON THE DESIRE TO CELEBRATE THE SENIORS OF 2020 AND INTRODUCE THE 2021 SENIORS OF THE PERFORMING COMPANY, A NEW PROGRAM WAS INTRODUCED AND PUT IN PLACE FOR THE 2020/21 SEASON: GARDEN PARTY. THE 2020 SENIORS PERSEVERED. OF THE FIVE 2020 ALUM, ONE WAS ACCEPTED INTO THE DANCE PROGRAM OF COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY. TWO ARE PURSUING DEGREES AT UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER. ONE IS ENROLLED AT NAROPA. THE FIFTH IS TAKING COMMUNITY CLASSES AND WORKING PART-TIME LOCALLY. PERFORMERS IN THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL LEVES CONTINUE TO TRAIN AT LOCAL BALLET SCHOOLS AND AUDITION FOR SUMMER INTENSIVE BALLET PROGRAMS WITH COLORADO BALLET, KANSAS CITY BALLET, BOSTON BALLET, THE JILLANA SCHOOL, MILWAUKEE BALLET, AND HOUSTON BALLET. CENTENNIAL STATE BALLET CULTIVATES A THRIVING BOYS BALLET PROGRAM. BOYS IN BALLET DEVELOP STRENGTH, DISCIPLINE, STAMINA, BALANCE, AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS. THE CHALLENGE, EFFORT, AND CAMARADERIE DURING REHEARSALS AND PERFORMANCES ARE WHAT MOTIVATE AND EXCITE OUR YOUNG GENTLEMEN TO BECOME STRONG MALE ROLE MODELS IN BOTH THE BALLET WORLD AND THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. IN 2019/20 CENTENNIAL STATE BALLETS BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMMITTED TO EXPANDING THE STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AWARDED TO STUDENTS BASED ON PROVEN FINANCIAL NEED AND MERIT. BOULDER BODY WEAR, A LOCAL DANCE BOUTIQUE SHOP, COLLABORATES TO ASSIST CSB SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS WITH DISCOUNTED AND/OR FREE MERCHANDISE. CENTENNIAL STATE BALLET IS PROUD TO REPORT 100% BOARD GIVING VIA DIRECT CONTRIBUTIONS, IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS OF GOODS OR SERVICES, AND/OR VOLUNTEERISM. A PART TIME EMPLOYEE WAS HIRED AS COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR TO FACILITATE THE DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION AND INTERFACE WITH PERFORMERS, VOLUNTEERS, AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. CENTENNIAL STATE BALLET IS PROUD TO BE A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE LONGMONT PERFORMING ARTS INITIATIVE (LPAI). LPAI IS A COLLABORATIVE GROUP FOCUSED TOWARDS THE ADVOCACY AND SUPPORT OF THE PERFORMING ARTS AND IS COMPRISED OF LONGMONTS MAJOR NONPROFIT PERFORMING ARTS ORGANIZATIONS. CURRENT MEMBERS INCLUDE CENTENNIAL STATE BALLET, LONGMONT CHORALE, LONGMONT CONCERT BAND, LONGMONT SYMPHONY, LONGMONT YOUTH SYMPHONY, AND LONGS PEAK CHORUS.

FORM 990-EZ, PART III	TO INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF COMPASSIONATE LEADERS WHILE PRESENTING THE HIGHEST QUALITY OF CLASSICAL DANCE TO AUDIENCES OF ALL AGES AND CULTURES THROUGH PROFESSIONAL-STYLE PERFORMANCES AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WITH CREATIVE INITIATIVES.
FORM 990-EZ, PART III, LINE 28	FOR THE STORYBOOK SEASON OF 2019-2020, THE COMPANY WAS SET TO PRODUCE THREE MAIN-STAGE PROGRAMS - THE FALL SHOWCASE (2 PERFORMANCES), THE NUTCRACKER (4 PERFORMANCES), AND GALA PERFORMANCE (2 PERFORMANCES), - AND TWO ANCILLARY PROGRAMS SERVICING FAMILIES OF SMALLER CHILDREN. PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: THE FALL SHOWCASE FEATURED A NEW, ORIGINAL BALLET, AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, ADAPTED BY EXECUTIVE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR KRISTIN KINGSLEY FROM THE BOOK BY JULES VERNE. THESE PERFORMANCES FEATURED 33 MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL AGED PERFORMERS AND 1 PROFESSIONAL GUEST ARTIST. THE MUSIC WAS COMPRISED OF PIECES COMPOSED BY ROBERT SCHUMANN, EDVARD GRIEG, THOMAS ARNE, AND PERCY GRAINGER. THIS PRODUCTION PREMIERED AT LONGMONTS STEWART AUDITORIUM AT THE CITY OF LONGMONT MUSEUM, AND WAS ACCOMPANIED BY SOLO PIANIST DEVON NEWBURN. 1 PROFESSIONAL LIGHTING CREW MEMBER CREATED LIGHTING FOR THIS PERFORMANCE. 21 VOLUNTEERS GAVE OVER 102 HOURS TO ALTER COSTUMES AND BUILD SETS AND PROPS. AUDIENCES TOTALED 326 AND AN INSPIRED CREATIVE MADE A PHOTOGRAPHY OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY IN THE LOBBY AT THE EVENT. OUR 8TH ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF THE NUTCRACKER FEATURED 113 YOUTH PERFORMERS RANGING IN AGES FROM 5 TO 18 YEARS OLD (CULLED FROM LOCAL DANCE STUDIOS), 1 PROFESSIONAL GUEST ARTIST, AND 11 ADULT/TEEN VOLUNTEER PERFORMERS. THIS PERFORMANCE MARKED OUR FIRST NUTCRACKER WITH AN IN-HOUSE ORCHESTRA COMPRISED OF 32 FREELANCE PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS (WEVE PREVIOUSLY HIRED AMATEUR COMMUNITY ORCHESTRAS), PLUS CONDUCTOR, RICK THOMAS. THE NUTCRACKER IS A TRADITIONAL HOLIDAY BALLET AND WAS CHOREOGRAPHED BY KRISTEN DEMAREE, MATTHEW HELMS, KRISTIN KINGSLEY, AND STEPHANIE TULEY. THE NIWOT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT TECHNICAL CREW WAS LED BY DAVID DENMAN (PRODUCTION STAGE MANAGER AND LIGHTING DESIGNER) AND JASON WATKINS (STAGE TECHNOLOGY TEACHER). MR. DENMAN BRINGS HIS PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT BACKGROUND TO THIS YOUNG CREW. HE IS THE BUSINESS AGENT FOR THE I.A.T.S.E. LOCAL 229 SERVING NORTHERN COLORADO AND SOUTHERN WYOMING. PAIGE DENMAN, DAUGHTER OF DAVID DENMAN, WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERN AS THE STAGE MANAGER. IT WAS EXCITING TO SEE OUR MISSION COME TO LIFE IN THAT CSB IS FOSTERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF LEADERS BOTH ON STAGE AND BEHIND THE SCENES. BRYAN STADTHERR SERVED AS OUR TECHNICAL DIRECTOR. OVER 114 VOLUNTEERS GAVE OVER 550 HOURS ALTERING COSTUMES, BUILDING SETS AND PROPS, AND OTHER WORK BEHIND-THE-SCENES TO MAKE THIS PRODUCTION A REALITY. SVVSD NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY STUDENTS USHERED AT THIS EVENT UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF VOLUNTEER KAREN KRUSE AND BOARD MEMBER KIMBERLY TAYLOR. AUDIENCES TOTALED 2305. THE GALA PERFORMANCE, FEATURING THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE WOULD HAVE CULMINATED THE COMPANYS 8TH YEAR AS A NONPROFIT AND ITS 22ND ANNIVERSARY PERFORMANCE SEASON. DUE TO COVID-19, THE PRODUCTION REHEARSALS ENDED MARCH 12, 2020. THIS PRODUCTION CONSISTED OF A 3-ACT, CLASSICAL BALLET COMPOSED BY ELGAR AND ARRANGED BY CONDUCTOR RICK THOMAS. 80 YOUTH DANCERS WERE CAST AND HAD BEEN REHEARSING WEEKLY. THEY RANGED IN AGE FROM 5 TO 18 YEARS OLD (CULLED FROM LOCAL DANCE STUDIOS), 1 PROFESSIONAL GUEST ARTISTS, AND 4 TEEN/ADULT VOLUNTEER PERFORMERS. EXECUTIVE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR KRISTIN KINGSLEY CHOREOGRAPHED THE BALLET BASED ON THE BOOK OF THE SAME NAME BY C.S. LEWIS UNDER THE RIGHTS FROM THE CS LEWIS COMPANY LTD IN ENGLAND. PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS WERE BEING CONTRACTED TO PLAY IN IN-HOUSE ORCHESTRA CONDUCTED BY RICK THOMAS. THE NIWOT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT TECHNICAL CREW WAS LED BY DAVID DENMAN (PRODUCTION STAGE MANAGER AND LIGHTING DESIGNER), JASON WATKINS (STAGE TECHNOLOGY TEACHER), AND BRYAN STADTHERR (TECHNICAL DIRECTOR). VOLUNTEERS WERE IN THE PROCESS OF ALTERING COSTUMES. THIS PERFORMANCE WAS CANCELLED DUE TO HEALTH CONCERNS FOR THE COMMUNITY. A FINANCIAL LOSS WAS INCURRED BASED ON THE PERFORMANCE CANCELLATION THROUGH TICKET SALES, PRORATED PERFORMANCE FEES, AND BOUTIQUE MERCHANDISE SALES. ADDITIONAL ANNUAL ANCILLARY PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE SUGAR PLUM TEA PARTY (FALL) AND PETIT BALLET (SPRING), WHICH WAS CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19. THESE PROGRAMS FOCUS ON SERVICING FAMILIES WITH SMALLER CHILDREN AND INCORPORATE EDUCATIONAL NARRATIVES TO KEEP YOUNG CHILDREN ENGAGED WHILE INTRODUCING THEM TO CLASSICAL BALLET. IN 2019, CSB CREATED TWO CASTS TO SERVE THE HIGH DEMAND OF PERFORMING AT THE SUGAR PLUM TEA PARTY. 50 YOUTH PERFORMERS DANCED OVER THE TWO DAY EVENT. CSB EXCEEDED PAST VOLUNTEER NUMBERS WITH 132 VOLUNTEERS GIVING OVER 2579 HOURS TO HELP US SERVE OUR AUDIENCE MEMBERS. AUDIENCES TOTALED 386 FOR THE SUGAR PLUM TEA PARTY. PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: YOUTH PERFORMERS CULTIVATE A VARIETY OF SOFT SKILLS THAT HELP PREPARE THEM FOR THEIR FUTURE ENDEAVORS, WHETHER OR NOT THEY CHOOSE TO PURSUE DANCE AS A PROFESSIONAL CAREER. DURING THE REHEARSAL PROCESS, STUDENTS MUST LEARN TO BE ATTENTIVE, DETAIL-ORIENTED SELF-ADVOCATES WHO ARE AWARE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AND THE NEEDS OF THOSE AROUND THEM. THEY LEARN TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND TO RESPOND RESPECTFULLY AND KINDLY WHEN OTHERS NEED THEIR HELP. THEY DEVELOP A STRONG WORK ETHIC VIA THIS PROCESS, REMAINING COMMITTED TO THEIR OWN EXCELLENCE AS WELL AS THE COLLABORATIVE SUCCESS OF THE OVERALL PRODUCTION. DURING PERFORMANCE, THE STUDENTS MUST PERFORM WITH CLARITY AND HONESTY BEFORE LARGE AUDIENCES. THEY MUST REACT PROACTIVELY TO THE CHALLENGES THAT LIVE PERFORMANCE CAN BRING, BE IT A DROPPED PROP OR A MISSED NOTE IN THE ORCHESTRA. THROUGH LIVE PERFORMANCE, STUDENTS REALIZE THEY CAN PREPARE AND WORK TO IMPROVE THEIR PERSONAL SUCCESS; HOWEVER, THE OVERALL SUCCESS OF THE PRODUCTION REQUIRES THE COLLABORATION OF HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING STAFF, VOLUNTEERS, STAGE HANDS, AND OTHER PERFORMERS. THESE ARE POWERFUL LESSONS THAT HELP OUR ALUM SUCCEED NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. ALUM ERIN DRUMMY (2016) GRADUATED WITH A BA IN POLITICAL SCIENCE FROM TAYLOR UNIVERSITY IN 2020. AFTER THE GALA PERFORMANCE WAS CANCELLED, ERIN DRUMMY SPOKE TO THE SENIORS IN THE PERFORMANCE COMPANY TO UPLIFT THEM AFTER THE CRUSHING CANCELLATION OF THEIR FINAL PERFORMANCE. ALL WERE GIVEN AN IDEA ABOUT THE TRANSITION FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO UNIVERSITY. ASHLEY NICOLL (2016) GRADUATED WITH A BA AND A MASTERS DEGREE IN MARINE BIOLOGY AND BIOLOGICAL OCEANOGRAPHY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO. NOW ASHLEY IS A TEACHING ASSISTANT AT SCRIPPS INSTITUTION OF OCEANOGRAPHY. BOTH OF THESE ALUMS WERE HIGH ACHIEVING, GIFTED DANCERS WITH CSB AND NOW ARE CARING, HIGHLY MOTIVATED YOUNG WOMEN GIVING BACK TO SOCIETY. SENIORS OF CSB HAD A ROUGH END OF THE SEASON WITH CANCELLATIONS OF GALA PERFORMANCE AND PETIT BALLET. BASED ON THE DESIRE TO CELEBRATE THE SENIORS OF 2020 AND INTRODUCE THE 2021 SENIORS OF THE PERFORMING COMPANY, A NEW PROGRAM WAS INTRODUCED AND PUT IN PLACE FOR THE 2020/21 SEASON: GARDEN PARTY. THE 2020 SENIORS PERSEVERED. OF THE FIVE 2020 ALUM, ONE WAS ACCEPTED INTO THE DANCE PROGRAM OF COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY. TWO ARE PURSUING DEGREES AT UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER. ONE IS ENROLLED AT NAROPA. THE FIFTH IS TAKING COMMUNITY CLASSES AND WORKING PART-TIME LOCALLY. PERFORMERS IN THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL LEVES CONTINUE TO TRAIN AT LOCAL BALLET SCHOOLS AND AUDITION FOR SUMMER INTENSIVE BALLET PROGRAMS WITH COLORADO BALLET, KANSAS CITY BALLET, BOSTON BALLET, THE JILLANA SCHOOL, MILWAUKEE BALLET, AND HOUSTON BALLET. CENTENNIAL STATE BALLET CULTIVATES A THRIVING BOYS BALLET PROGRAM. BOYS IN BALLET DEVELOP STRENGTH, DISCIPLINE, STAMINA, BALANCE, AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS. THE CHALLENGE, EFFORT, AND CAMARADERIE DURING REHEARSALS AND PERFORMANCES ARE WHAT MOTIVATE AND EXCITE OUR YOUNG GENTLEMEN TO BECOME STRONG MALE ROLE MODELS IN BOTH THE BALLET WORLD AND THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. IN 2019/20 CENTENNIAL STATE BALLETS BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMMITTED TO EXPANDING THE STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AWARDED TO STUDENTS BASED ON PROVEN FINANCIAL NEED AND MERIT. BOULDER BODY WEAR, A LOCAL DANCE BOUTIQUE SHOP, COLLABORATES TO ASSIST CSB SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS WITH DISCOUNTED AND/OR FREE MERCHANDISE. CENTENNIAL STATE BALLET IS PROUD TO REPORT 100% BOARD GIVING VIA DIRECT CONTRIBUTIONS, IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS OF GOODS OR SERVICES, AND/OR VOLUNTEERISM. A PART TIME EMPLOYEE WAS HIRED AS COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR TO FACILITATE THE DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION AND INTERFACE WITH PERFORMERS, VOLUNTEERS, AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. CENTENNIAL STATE BALLET IS PROUD TO BE A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE LONGMONT PERFORMING ARTS INITIATIVE (LPAI). LPAI IS A COLLABORATIVE GROUP FOCUSED TOWARDS THE ADVOCACY AND SUPPORT OF THE PERFORMING ARTS AND IS COMPRISED OF LONGMONTS MAJOR NONPROFIT PERFORMING ARTS ORGANIZATIONS. CURRENT MEMBERS INCLUDE CENTENNIAL STATE BALLET, LONGMONT CHORALE, LONGMONT CONCERT BAND, LONGMONT SYMPHONY, LONGMONT YOUTH SYMPHONY, AND LONGS PEAK CHORUS. WE BELIEVE A NEED EXISTS FOR A STRONG PERFORMING ARTS PRESENCE THAT PROVIDES ENTERTAINMENT AND OTHER ARTS-RELATED SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. CREATING, COLLABORATING, AND COMMUNICATING COOPER
