NEW COMPANY IS REALLY 'ALIVE!'

The Fresno Dance Repertory Association is pleased to announce the establishment of our professional company! What began last season with the hiring of Maggie La Baugh as our first professional dancer has now grown to a complement of four, vibrant, young men and women who promise to bring a new dimension and versatility to our repertoire.

With the formation of this professional company, our organization's budget has increased significantly. We are actively seeking individual and corporate contributions, in addition to our membership drive, which will be earmarked specifically for the operation of the professional company. Please call to make your tax deductible contribution.
