SYCAMORE – The Sycamore Performing Arts Academy will host its third annual Sycamore Ballet Company fundraiser from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20.

Artistic Director Jodi Riley founded the Sycamore Ballet, a small not-for-profit performance group and competition team, in 2006 with the intention of giving her students the opportunity to participate in additional performances and expand their dance education beyond the realm of the studio.

In the six years since its establishment, Sycamore Ballet Company members have participated in more than 20 performances, attended several conventions/competitions and master dance classes and have volunteered at numerous community events. These opportunities are made possible in part through fundraising.
