Information for parents

Observation

As an optimum learning environment is Marin Ballet's priority, parents and siblings may not accompany students into the classroom. Parents are invited to observe classes on the specific dates listed on the school calendar. In order not to disturb performance preparations and the choreographic process, there is limited observation in the third and fourth quarters.

Communication

The Artistic Director and Marin Ballet Faculty are happy to answer questions or discuss concerns regarding your child's dance training. Please be mindful that instructors often teach several classes consecutively and may not be able to meet with you before or after your child's class time. Please feel free to make an appointment with the Artistic Director or your child's instructor.

Evaluations

Parents and/or students may request an evaluation on a semesterly basis. Advanced Ballet Division students who are considering a career in dance are encouraged to make an appointment with the Artistic Director to discuss training programs and goals.

Volunteer and Fundraising Opportunities

Marin Ballet relies on contributions of time, energy, and financial support from families and friends throughout our community. Your active involvement and support contributes greatly to the richness of our students' dance experience. We thank you in advance for all your efforts.

Marin Ballet's tuition revenue covers only 60% of its operating budget. The remaining 40% is raised through fundraising campaigns and special events. Find more information on how you can help support Marin Ballet here.

The Volunteer Association provides a leadership umbrella over all Marin Ballet events that rely on volunteer support. Your active participation is needed for the success of projects such as performance hospitality and support, as well as the Boutique, Candy Cane Parties, Great Chefs in Great Homes, and Nutcracker reception.

We encourage you to sign-up to be a volunteer. To do so, look for sign-up sheets in the lobby during welcome week, as well as during the weeks immediately preceding a specific event. Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Carissa Sullivan if you'd like to take on a volunteer leadership role.

Thank you, in advance, for signing up to help. Your participation truly makes a world of difference.
