North Shore Civic Ballet Receives Grant for New Program
The North Shore Civic Ballet has been awarded a grant from the Marblehead Cultural Council to present a new program, A Summer Dance.
Bringing the joy of dance to the North Shore region is the North Shore Civic Ballet Company's (NSCB) goal. Rosemary Grant, a NSCB board member, announces the organization has been awarded a grant to present A Summer Dance at the Marblehead Festival of Arts on Sunday, July 3. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Marblehead Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
“It is wonderful the town of Marblehead recognizes the presence of a fine artistic organization that provides quality dance to our community,” said Grant.
With the grant award, the NSCB will present to the public a performance of ballet, featuring original works created by Resident Choreographer Ivan Korn. The NSCB's dancers, drawn from the North Shore and the greater Boston area, will perform under Artistic Director Paula K. Shiff, the 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient in the Arts from Salem State University.
