| HAPPY NEW YEAR It’s 2005 and City Ballet of Los Angeles is moving right along and making strides. The year started out with a new program at the Salvation Army in South Central LA. The executive director Mortimer Jones invited CBLA to start a new dance program in their new facility. Bringing dance into a new community has its challenges: more outreach and more staff. We are only able to teach one class a week at this location, but we look forward to lifting this program up. |
