What is there to Love about BRAVO?

Christina

I’ve written about BRAVO (the Ballet Resource and Volunteer Organization) in earlier posts, but this time I wanted to share BRAVO members’ own feedback. So at our general membership meeting last week, I did a little survey.

Methods:  Randomized, retrospective written survey posing three questions.

Materials:  Paper, pen, and goodwill.

Results:  BRAVO members love BRAVO and SF Ballet!

Well, we knew that already.  But here are some of their thoughts:

  • “I love ballet and SF Ballet.”
  • “My daughter started dancing here…I joined [BRAVO] when she was in Club Nut.”
  • “I joined decades ago, when SF Ballet was in the red, and ballerinas were on Union Square asking for funds.”
  • “I had retired…we had been subscribers for some time and loved what SFB does.”

What do these ballet lovers enjoy assisting with? One answer is a good summary: “I enjoy all activities in which I get involved throughout the years.”

And there were these specific examples: The Shop, being a Nutcracker backstage chaperone, the Nutcracker Children’s Lunch, and the Opening Night Gala.  And this one: “Working with the wardrobe staff gave me a peek into that dynamic world.”

A few closing comments:

  • “This is such a great volunteer organization and the Ballet is such a wonderful place to work, I am delighted to be a part of it!”
  • “I love listening to the dancers at the meetings. What a treat!”  [Last week our guests were Principal Dancers Sofiane Sylve and Pascal Molat, who talked with us about their training and history, favorite roles, personal challenges and goals.]
  • “I really appreciate all that’s offered to BRAVO volunteers; you make it well worth our while!”
  • “I love the SF Ballet ambiance, the staff is very appreciative, and I am delighted to be of help!”

As you can see, it doesn’t get better than that!  THANK YOU to all 200+ members of BRAVO, who work behind the scenes to help make SF Ballet the vibrant, successful organization that it is.
