My Sincere Thanks: I want to reach out personally and give my heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful sponsors, donors, workers and all those who attended and shared in the success of Tutu Fabulous! Your efforts beautifully combined to raise a total of over $9,000 to keep the bullying prevention campaign of The Ugly Duckling program in area schools. Sincerely, Joedy Cook.
Two inspiring and challenging world premiere ballets will be presented with live music provided by our partner Orchestra Iowa - the "Rite of Spring" & "Tehilah" set to the music of Appalachian Spring. Amazing new choreography set to the magnificent music of Igor Stravensky & Aaron Copeland.

Yes, I was scurrying around at the Blackhawk, watching and listening! It was hard with all the feet moving around the room, especially the dancing! I really liked the "Mashed Potato Martinis" - so yummy! I laughed so hard I thought everyone would hear me . . . one of our beautiful ballerinas thought it was ICE CREAM!! Yes, those ladies eat ice cream - and I have benefited from more than a few cookies crumbs :). All in all, it was a very exciting, magical night.
