School of Performing Arts

South Georgia Ballet invites everyone to be a part of the ballet. SGB is not for profit, and we receive tax-deductible donations through a special production fund established by the Community Foundation of Southwest Georgia. Please help us continue and build upon this strong foundation of artistic excellence. Become a Friend of the Ballet, and plan to see our shows this season. Volunteer behind the scenes, become a corporate sponsor, or lend us the talents of your children. Your support will help us bring the arts to life for all of us in South Georgia and North Florida.

Volunteer Opportunities
Set design and construction and costume construction are two areas where additional volunteers are always appreciated. If you are interested in working behind the scenes on the ballet, we would love to have you. Our volunteer program is channeled through our parents association. To volunteer, call Jenny Law, parent’s association president at 229-378-0099.
