WINNIPEG—The Royal Winnipeg Ballet is apologizing to students on the same day a court approved a $10-million settlement in a class-action lawsuit over allegations a former teacher and photographer took intimate photos and released them without consent.

The dance company has posted on its website a one-page apology, which was a term of the settlement agreement.
