JEUNESSE CLASSIQUE BALLET SOCIETY: TECHNOLOGY MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE DANCING COMMUNITY
We are excited to donate a laptop to the Jeunesse Classique Ballet Society (JCBS) in Calgary. This laptop will be used within their office to assist future volunteers when advertising and creating campaigns for the society.
Speaking with Diana Doyle, a representative from Jeunesse Classique Ballet Society she expressed, “We would like to thank the Electronic Recycling Association for providing our office with a reconditioned laptop! This will indeed be put to great use in our office for our dedicated volunteers! Thank you!”
JCBS is dedicated to preserving the art form of classical ballet by providing performance opportunities to youth dancers within Southern Alberta. They are a registered charity whose members provide endless hours of volunteer work from hand making all the costuming and sets for said ballets to working backstage at the performances. Each dancer brings a volunteer to JCBS to help them achieve their dream of dancing in a full-scale ballet!
JCBS is unique whereby the youth dancers in the ballets they perform ARE the stars of the performances. From Soldier to Mouse King to Sugar Plum Fairy, their dedicated dancers enjoy opportunities to perform their best on stage. This year, they celebrated their 30th Anniversary of the famed classic “The Nutcracker” to full audiences for four performances in Calgary and they also toured “The Nutcracker” to Edmonton where they provided performance opportunities to dancers from Edmonton and its surrounding cities and towns.
Additionally, JCBS gives back to its community by giving to charities by way of fundraising. This year, they are delighted to host a fundraising event in downtown Calgary themed “Once Upon a Time” Fundraising GALA at Hotel Arts May 12, 2018. They have chosen “Make-A-Wish” Southern Alberta as their charity.
