STORIES OF GIVING

BEYOND STATE LINES

"I am so impressed by how graceful, strong, and healthy (so important in the dance world) the dancers are. Verb has a passion for teaching, in believing dance is for everyone. How wonderful to be in a class of adults who want to study this beautiful art form! Many of the teachers dance in the company which creates a bond between students and artists. Watching a performance where you know some of the dancers makes it personal, more beautiful and fun to watch. I live a long way from Cleveland and am grateful for the opportunity to see performances virtually! "

Anndria Ciabattoni first saw the company at Lakeside Chautauqua on a special trip with her mother. She also participates in our online community Dance for Everyone classes and even comes to the studio when in town for business. She supports Verb Ballets by making a monthly donation. She also engages her employee giving program to make her support go further!

Verb does it all very well, even in these crazy times.

LONGTIME SUPPORT

"Over the years, we have known and remained friends with many officers, board members, dancers and even production staff. This involvement is important and enriching for us. We love the way that Verb connects with the community, through classes, outreach and performances at a variety of venues including the studio. The location of the new home deepens our connection with the Shaker Heights community. We're proud to support Verb!"

Marvin and Charlene Nevans have followed the company since its founding as the Repertory Dance Project. As longtime supporters they are proud to support Verb Ballets through annual giving.

Verb has always been a repertory company. We believe the company is a local source for a variety of dance.
