Ballet 5 (13+ Years Old & Invite Only) @ San Diego Academy Of Ballet & Ballet Theatre

Most European ballet companies are state funded - either by lottery ticket sales or direct government subsidies. In contrast, the United States does not have the same relationship with the arts and most ballet companies rely on wealthy benefactors or corporate support to sustain. For instance, San Francisco Ballet, which is one of the top ten companies IN THE WORLD, is supported by Tiffany Co., Kaiser Permanente, JP Morgan Chase and others. More Info below.
