Youth ballet group names new officers

June 25, 2008

The board of directors of the Potomac Classic Youth Ballet Company has elected new officers for 2008 and appointed one new director.

The new officers are Toni Rinehart Sullivan, president; Mike Heyser, past president; Angie Youngblood, vice president; Jennifer Green-Flint, second vice president; Angie Boyer, secretary; and Diana Rupp, treasurer.

Mary Anne Ellifritz has joined the board as a new director. Among the other active board members are Angie Sievers, Elizabeth Hopkinson and Charlie Sekula.

The youth ballet's resident home is at the City Ballet School at 14 N. Potomac St. in Hagerstown. The company is composed of dancers between 13 and 18 years old who are selected through auditions held once a year.

Through fundraising events, the youth ballet is able to provide limited funding in the form of scholarships to those dancers who are in need of assistance or who have excelled in the company with their talent.

The funding provides scholarships to attend professional dance programs and camps such as Joffrey Ballet, Burklyn Ballet Theatre, American Ballet Theatre, The Washington Ballet, Houston Ballet Company, The Rock School, The Virginia School of Arts and the City Ballet School.

If you would like to be a volunteer or sponsor a dancer, send an e-mail to PCYBC@PCYBC.com.
