CONGRATULATIONS: 

This season our upper level students performed wonderfully in our “Nutcracker in the Neighborhood” performances at Mckinleyville’s Timber Ridge Senior Residence and at Morris Graves Elementary School, following in TBA’s long tradition of community outreach. Also, TBA’s resident professional company, Ballet Emmaus (Em-ay-us), presented our beautiful “O Come Emmanuel” ballet in Arcata. They were amazing, presenting the ballet despite the earthquake less than 2 days before. Congratulations to all the dancers!

Happy New Year!
