50th Gala Setting
I’m very proud to say my daughter dances for The State Ballet of Rhode Island. Mrs. Marsden is a wonderful, strong woman who cares very much for each of her dancers. I couldn’t have asked for better role models for my daughters.
Very welcoming, Brae Crest’s doors are open to all. Whether you have trained in ballet for years, you are bringing your child for his or her first class, or you yourself are pursuing a long time childhood dream, there is a spot for everyone.
