What is Clara’s Closet?
This program, put in motion by BRBT alumna Carolyn Herman, has had great success in raising funds for families and dancers who needed financial assistance to support their performance in The Nutcracker – A Tale from the Bayou. Now in its third year, the tradition continues with Isabelle Lieux and Victoria Sharp at the helm. Funds raised will cover all rehearsal fees and provide tickets for families to watch their children perform. We hope to share our love of dance with others who might not otherwise be able to enjoy the joy of performing in this magical show!
Clara’s Closet is now collecting gently used clothing, purses, shoes, and other accessories for all ages. Dance clothing, such as leotards, ballet shoes, and jazz shoes, is also greatly appreciated. Clean, gently used items can be dropped off anytime at the Dancers’ Workshop in garbage bags (10745 Linkwood Ct.).
Monetary donations are also appreciated at the link below. Check donations should be made out to BRBT with “Nutcracker Scholarship” in the memo line and may also be dropped off at the Dancers’ Workshop.
Thanks for helping to keep the magic alive for all!
The Nutcracker Scholarship
