December 2025

Dear Friend,

As 2025 draws to a close, I want to sincerely thank you for being part of another extraordinary year at Ellison Ballet. Your belief in our students and our mission made this year’s achievements, highlighted by our 20th Anniversary Celebration in May and our recent Winter Showcase, truly unforgettable. At this time of year, I am especially grateful for the community that surrounds and sustains our school. Celebrating 20 years of Ellison Ballet this past spring was not only a milestone, but a reminder of what is possible when talent is met with unwavering support.

Ellison Ballet is known worldwide for its uncompromising artistic standards and for preparing dancers to join leading professional companies across the globe. These successes are made possible by the shared commitment of families, patrons, alumni, and friends who believe in the transformative power of exceptional training and mentorship.

While tuition supports part of our work, it does not fully cover the cost of providing the level of excellence our students deserve. Your generosity directly makes possible:

• $500 – A master class with a distinguished guest teacher

• $1,500 – Helps fund costumes and production elements for our Spring Showcase

• $9,900 – Half a year of scholarship support for a deserving student

• $19,800 – Covers a full year of tuition for one talented dancer

• $39,200 – Funds a full year of tuition and housing, allowing a student to train with stability and focus

Every gift, of any size, has a meaningful impact. Your support opens doors, nurtures talent, and allows young artists to pursue their dreams at the highest level. I invite you to consider making a year-end gift and joining us in shaping the future of ballet.

On behalf of our Board of Directors, faculty, administration, and students, thank you for your continued generosity and trust. Everything we achieve is built on your support.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a bright New Year.

Warm regards,

Edward Ellison
Founder & Artistic Director
