Lisa Love created Muncie Ballet Studio in June 1991, as a 501c3. By having children performing for children, many of the barriers of classical dance and music are removed. In fact due to the commonality, the audience children are keenly interested and receptive to the music and movement unfolding on the stage. When a child performs for an audience they can imagine, dream & discover their talents. Give your child the magic of ballet theater.”

Donate $20.00 for the feeding Program: After every game the children are provided a meal by L.A.C.E.S. This meal is to ensure that the children are able to have at least one meal for that day, and it brings them together to the table as a family.

Anyone who generously donates equipment or $20.00 to the feeding program will receive a L.A.C.E.S. water bottle as a gift of appreciation for their partnership.
