2017 ASP Note from Mr. Jones

Dear SOBT Students and Families,

As I reflect upon the Annual School Performance I am left with vivid images of brilliant dancing, jubilant faces onstage, and the absolute professionalism of the students of The School of Oregon Ballet Theatre. I was so very impressed with the performances this past weekend and am extremely proud. Each dancer is to be commended for their hard work and their contribution to the ASP; what really shown through so beautifully this past weekend was not just individuals, but the high quality of the entire school.

My many thanks go out to the students for their inspired dancing, to the parents for their patience and dedication during this busy time, to the teachers for all they do day in and day out, to James and Colleen for keeping the school humming along smoothly, to Rachel for her good work in West Linn, to the volunteers who give so generously of their time, and to the entire OBT organization for supporting the school.

I hope everyone has been able to rest the last few days and is feeling recharged as we enter the home stretch of the school year.

Congratulations to all the dancers and families of SOBT for making this year’s ASP so extraordinary and memorable.

My best wishes,

Anthony Jones
School Director
