TORONTO—Canada’s National Ballet School, one of the world’s elite ballet training academies, celebrated its 52nd anniversary on Feb. 11 with For the Love of Ballet Gala, its annual fundraiser.
Toronto’s Ritz-Carleton hotel opened its doors to celebrate a valued art form and the children who are keeping it alive, and teachers, artists, and supporters gathered for a night devoted to the beauty of dance.
“We’re in support of the most treasured institution in Canada. It’s unique in the world and it deserves all the support of not only all the Toronto and the Ontario community, but the entire country,” said board member Dona Eull-Schultz.
“This is a way for us to channel all of the talent and energy of our wonderful children in Canada so that they can go on and perform on the stages of the world.”
Canada’s National Ballet School is unique in North America for its comprehensive educational system, which includes elite dance and academic training.
