renovation of our current facility, a facility expansion, and COCA’s financial health and
sustainability. COCA is hosting a Community Day on Saturday, June 9 to show off the
renovations in our building: a new Performance Lab, parking garage, art and design
studio, and dance studios. Please plan to attend this free day that will kickoff the
groundbreaking for our expansion project!
CAMPAIGN UPDATES
PROJECT PLIÉ – AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE
In March, COCA partnered with the American Ballet Theatre (based in New York) to
present the St. Louis premiere of the American Ballet Theatre Studio Company—a group
of 12 pre-professional dancers hand selected from around the world. In addition to
three spectacular performances by the Company, COCA welcomed Project Plié—ABT’s
initiative to increase racial and ethnic representation in ballet and diversify America’s
ballet companies. Project Plié brought ballet master classes to Boys and Girls Club and St.
Louis Public School locations.
