24/25 Season Highlights
Thanks to your generous support, ECB has flourished.
· We proudly reintroduced a live orchestra for our beloved The Nutcracker, elevating the production to a level of excellence shared by only two schools in the region. The audience response was overwhelming, and the experience was transformative for our students.
· Our Black Box Theatre performances showcased emerging choreographic voices and sold out both nights, affirming the power of innovation and intimacy in dance.
· We launched the first Evergreen International Dance Festival, welcoming over 15 local schools and three professional companies, an unprecedented initiative in our area.
· Our collaboration with Newport High School Orchestra for Hansel & Gretel brought another wave of artistic success and community engagement.
· We closed the season with a powerful Season Finale at the Federal Way Performing Arts and Event Center, showcasing beautiful choreography from our beloved teaching staff and celebrating our students’ growth during the school year.

The ECB Annual Fund
To continue this momentum, I am thrilled to announce the opening of our 25/26 Annual Fund. Your past contributions have helped us bridge the 35% gap between tuition and the true cost of training our dancers.
Last year, your generosity raised $35,000, allowed us to:
· enrich our wardrobe department
· host seminars on mental health for high performance artists to enhance safety and professionalism for all
· perform at the most important local festivals, giving us a better presence in the dance industry of the PNW
· Purchase new barres for Studio C
As we look ahead to the 2025/2026 season, we invite you to help us reach our goal of $70,000. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us:
· Provide scholarships for students in need
· Maintain and improve our facilities
· Support innovative programming and collaborations
· Continue nurturing the next generation of artists
