A Note from Co-Director Sara Jansen Clayborne:
Dear Friends, Patrons, and Community Members:
On April 20th, 2013 Charlottesville Ballet will present the Mainstage Two Performance: Tribute at Piedmont Virginia Community College to celebrate the professional company’s fifth performing season. I want to let you all know that this will be my final performance as a professional dancer.
I have thought long and hard about this decision and have realized that my role as both Director and Teacher have become my new passion. I have been blessed to have a professional career for 12+ years and am excited to focus on the expansion of Charlottesville Ballet rather than expanding my career as a dancer and performer. I will truly miss the stage (…and may return in a few fun character roles), but I am excited and determined to see Charlottesville Ballet grow to new heights!
I hope that you will join me on Saturday, April 20 in celebrating both the 5th Anniversary of Charlottesville Ballet and the culmination of my career as a dancer.
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I embark on this new journey. I look forward to this new chapter in my life and thank each of you for your continued support!
With Gratitude,
Sara Jansen Clayborne
Co-Director, Charlottesville Ballet
Director, Charlottesville Ballet Academy
