Ballet Pacifica officially shut down this weekend. “The organization’s undoing is complicated. The past 3 1/2 years have been a roller coaster of promises and failures, and the instability shook it to its very foundation, which was the school. At its peak, it had 260 students; this past week there were fewer than 100… Time and again, the Ballet Pacifica board of directors spent money on administrative help rather than artistic endeavors. Ultimately, the community was left with nothing to support.”
