Hello ECB!
At ECB, our goal is to always provide our dancers with the best resources possible so that they feel fantastic in class and on stage! For each school year, our budget will only cover so much, so we're asking for your help. The wish lists linked below have been specially curated by our Wardrobe Mistress, Debbi Malady, and our Wellness Professional & Lead Physical Therapist, Elizabeth Rogers. Take a look, and if you feel so inclined, consider making a donation that will directly benefit our students.
From our Artistic Director
Mr. Max is happy to welcome in the 2024/2025 school year! Please see his letter to the school.
Ballet Bun
Are you unsure how to create a bun on your dancer? Please don't hesitate to ask Ms. Denali, Mr. Max, Ms. Myriam, Ms. Margarita and any other of our staff members. As a reminder, a bun, or another hairstyle that keeps the hair securely and neatly pulled away from the face and off the neck, are requirements for class participation.
Wardrobe Department Wishlist
For each show, our available budget needs to cover not only materials and costume basics, but also supplies/consumables so that we have everything our dancers need backstage. The list linked below is created and kept up to date by our Wardrobe Mistress, Ms. Debbi. Anything that can be donated to the Wardrobe Department helps us put on our beautiful productions throughout the year and helps our youngest performers all the way up to our guest artists stay performance ready!
The Wardrobe Department is also currently asking for Home Depot gift card donations that can be put towards purchases Z rail shelves that will allow us to greatly expand our costume storage in the hanging areas.
Conditioning Program Wishlist
ECB is making big strides in expanding our conditioning program this year. In the coming months. Pilates springboards from Balanced Body will be mounted to the walls of Studio C, and we would love your help in rounding out the rest of our equipment. These tools will be utilized during conditioning classes for Ballet III & up, and are invaluable to the physical health of our students. The list linked below is kept up to date by ECB Wellness Professional & Lead Physical Therapist, Elizabeth Rogers. Anything can be donated goes a long way in helping to keep our students' bodies strong and healthy!
