⇒ 5-16-24: LBC evicted from ArtsPlace ⇐

⇒ Why did LBC-hired private security assault a ballet mom on a public sidewalk? ⇒ Where are the professional company? ⇒ What happened to the Artistic Director? ⇒ Why are no students taking class? ⇒ What happened to the new teacher? ⇒ What happened to the new "School Principal"? ⇒ Why are studios empty since February? ⇒ What happened to the end-of-season show? ⇒ Why have Guest Dancers not been paid promptly? ⇒ Why were police called on parents meetings FOUR times? ⇒ Why are spy cameras in the studios? ⇒ Why is the Board of Directors silent?

Lexington Ballet exists because of you, moms and dads who entrust your children to artists to learn another way of seeing, and interacting with, the world. You have driven back and forth for thousands of miles, sat on hard benches and stair steps for uncountable hours during class. You ensured your dancer was on time for rehearsals and performances, plus spent unending dollars on leotards, pointe shoes, tuition, and show tickets. It is your diligence that has made, and will continue to make, the organization what it has been and it will become.

Please take time to let the broader Lexington community know who you are, that LBC matters to you, with a hashtag selfie to social media (I’ve put mine on Instagram). If you would like to include your dancer then absolutely do so by your discretion. It would be great to see grandparents, plus aunts and uncles, too, who are just as important and encouraging to us. Maybe you have friends who have enjoyed the shows and share your concerns, so it would be great for them to contribute a picture as well.
