STUDIO NOTE
Rockland School of Ballet a note from the school Summer programs are officially underway at Rockland School of Ballet, and Miss Emily and Miss Jessica are having the most enjoyable time dancing with some beautiful ballerinas here in the studio. We have had some Angelina Ballerina’s, adult ballet students, and participated in multiple community events since the end of our academic year. There is something for everyone at Rockland School of Ballet. A big heartfelt thank you to all of you who participated in the Summer Solstice event with us! It was so great to see all of those dancers (and parents!) out dancing and having fun in downtown Rockland! Additionally thank you to our youth ballet
group for participating in Rockland Maine Street’s annual Talent Show. You all did a beautiful job dancing and we couldn’t be more proud of you! In this issue of From The Barre you will find information, not only about the goings on this summer, but information regarding the upcoming fall class schedule, open house details, the winter performance, fundraising campaigns and so much more! Stay on your toes and keep dancing! et Ball d n kla Roc
