Tulsa Ballet employs a full-time Education Coordinator and strongly believes that arts education produces lifelong benefits for people of all ages. Tulsa Ballet annually works with charitable organizations throughout our community to make tickets available to those who may not otherwise be able to attend the ballet. Some include American Cancer Society, Family and Children s Services, American Heart Association, Salvation Army, Tulsa Senior Services and the Department of Human Services. The remainder of Tulsa Ballet s operating support is derived from revenue earned from ticket sales, investments and property leasing. The dancers are either in rehearsal or performing for 30 weeks each year.
Class consists of a series of ballet exercises to develop strength, flexibility and agility.
A short class before every performance allows dancers to warm up their muscles and avoid injury. Dancers often rehearse two or more ballets at one time. Tulsa Ballet s professional dancers come from around the world, from such countries as Russia, China, Italy, Uruguay, Turkey, France, Canada, Romania and Spain, in addition to the United States.
