We have Survived. Now we need to Thrive!

In the Spring of 2020 on the heels of the first shutdown, Westside Ballet began an ambitious campaign to raise $150,000. Donations were needed to help keep the ballet school and the dance studios open as the pandemic took hold of the country. Operating with only a skeleton staff, the funds helped secure the latest technology in order to provide virtual instruction and maintain the connection between instructor and pupil. Thanks to the efforts of the “1500 Angels'' Crisis Relief Campaign, almost $215,000 has been raised to date. However, the initial goal was set in anticipation of a three-month shutdown.

As the pandemic enters its second, devastating year, the 2021 Crisis Relief challenge has been reset to $350,000. The Board of Directors raised the goal so that: the school will be able to operate; the nonprofit performance company can produce future performances on the live stage once again; and so that Westside Ballet can surpass its 54th year and persevere beyond these unpredictable times.

Westside School of Ballet is Los Angeles’ most successful ballet academy. Founded by Yvonne Mounsey and Rosemary Valaire in 1967, the school has been a touchstone for countless children and adult dancers for over 54 years. Programs such as Westside Ballet's 2021 Spring Workshop Performance, Summer Sessions & Intensives, the online and outdoor classes, and many other valuable offerings would not be possible without the backing of Westside’s generous supporters.
