Alegre Ballet Folklorico

It has been a long few months and a lot of work, but the results were worth it! Both the Recital on the 9th and the Show on the 23rd are done and were both great performances.

There is always room for improvement and things we all could have done better, but from what I saw in both performances make me, Jessica and Reeses so proud of each and everyone of you. This was also the first time we use the PreKindle ticketing service. I hope this was a better experience for everyone coming in to the theater and getting their seats.

I sent out a feedback link to all our attendees to get their thoughts on both performances. Asking questions about their complete experience, from program content to the theaters themselves. The feedback form was sent to all the email addresses of the people who purchased tickets AND attended. Please remind people you might know that went and ask them to fill out the form.

We would love for you to share your photos with us! We are always wanting and looking for great shots of our dancers. use the button below to share some of your great performance shots! Remember you can always bring your photos on a drive or memory card and Pedro can save them.
