WE HAVE CONTINUED EXPANDING OUR EDUCATIONAL IMPACT THROUGH BOTH THE BALLET WICHITA INSTITUTE AND OUTREACH PARTNERSHIPS WITH USD 259 FOCUSING ON TITLE ONE SCHOOLS, AND OFFERING SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES FOR AT RISK YOUTH. PANDEMIC CHALLENGES IN 2020 REQUIRED US TO SCALE BACK PERFORMANCES OF OUR FREE ANNUAL BALLET IN THE PARK SERIES TO 6 OUTDOOR LOCATIONS ACROSS THE GREATER WICHITA METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY.
