LAST WEEK: Gil Boggs, Artistic Director, Colorado Ballet
Claudia introduced Gil who shared his interesting story from dancing with the American Ballet Theater in NY to running a golf academy to becoming the Artistic Director. He shared facts about how the ballet receives revenue, their performances, and how they survived Covid. It all works - in Denver, dance is the most highly attended across the country.
We welcomed Steve Werner, Raydean Aceveda on Zoom from the Board of the Colorado Ballet, and Patricia Mourillon also on Zoom, the upcoming President for the eClub One. Mindy joined again with her office manager Courtney and her husband Tim Bailey. It was great to see Jimmy Kinley and Mark Brown in person.
