Our Beginning
The Sunrise Ballet has been serving the area since
1987, starting with a production of an original story-ballet, “The Dream”. Since then, we have
performed “The Nutcracker” with bright new and original staging and choreography each year. In January 1999, it became
an independent California non-profit group and changed it’s name to the Sunrise Ballet. All persons in charge of
the SB are concerned local area residents. The CEO has lived in the immediate area since 1964, the artistic
director is a teacher in the Anaheim City School District.
Goals of the “Love
of Dance” Awareness-to-the-Arts program: To provide professional training- without
bias toward talent, finances or physique. To recognize and explore talent, ability and potential.
To develop & nurture enthusiasm, teamwork, patience and devotion in a positive atmosphere. To provide lecture/demonstrations
to public & private school free of charge. To
be a valuable positive asset to the community in all situations deemed morally and ethically correct. To maintain the idea that
all members share the love of dance as an end in itself.
Goals
of the Sunrise Ballet
Goal #1: To give back to the community that has given us so much. We’ve
donated to Camp Snoopy for the Deaf, Lamb of God Lutheran Church of Anaheim, The Blind Children’s Learning Center, CHOC
Hospital (Cancer research department) and the Ebenezer Church of Los Angeles. Half price and free tickets
are given to worthy groups such as Scouts and local youth groups. Goal #2: To enrich, educate and enlighten. One
way we do this is through lecture/demonstrations at public & private schools. (Examples: our mini-performances
at UCLA and a series of lecture/demonstrations at the public schools in the Placentia/Yorba Linda School District)
Lecture/demonstrations include a history of dance, the athleticism of the art, the influence of music, costuming, and
other related fields. Part of the SB mission statement is to give these lecture/demonstrations free of charge. We’re
not here to make a dollar– we’re here to make a difference. Goal #3:
The production of original children’s story ballets, and to make them available to anyone who may never have
the chance to see a ballet.
