The Tallahassee Ballet School
TTBS faculty believes that dance has much to offer beyond the physical and we train our dancers not only to be their best in the studio but to respect and appreciate the art of dance. Our students attain life skills such as a strong work ethic, discipline, respect for instructors and peers, poise, self-assurance and an awareness of the physical body through their dance training.

To continue KK’s legacy, TTB has established the Kathryn Karrh Cashin Performance Excellence Fund in her honor. The Fund assists in setting new and existing productions — hiring professional performers, commissioning collaborators, and most notably, ensuring live music is a vital part of TTB’s productions. KK’s biggest dream for our productions was for live music to be performed at every performance. For example, in 2014, she commissioned John Longstaff to arrange a reduced score of Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty, for the Company’s use. KK looked forward to bringing this production back to Ruby Diamond Auditorium on May 11 & 12, 2024. To contribute to the Fund, go to https://buff.ly/3Qkz9Qf. Donors will be recognized in the 2023 Nutcracker playbill.
