El Paso, the time has come to celebrate one of the most exquisite forms of art: ballet. The Nylia Ballet Company is bringing its upcoming production of The Sleeping Beauty to life, and with it comes an incredible opportunity for dancers across the city to shine. As someone who has passionately supported the fine arts for years, I cannot stress enough how vital it is for our community to embrace and uplift classical forms of expression like ballet.

From my years at Opera Omaha, where I witnessed firsthand the transformative power of performance, to my ongoing advocacy for the arts, I know how monumental a production like this can be—not only for the artists involved but for our entire community. And now, the stage is set for you to be part of something truly magical.
