The event, held at the prestigious Seminole Legacy Golf Club, drew golf enthusiasts and community supporters from around the region to support TTB's mission of providing exceptional ballet performances and educational outreach programs.

Impactful Support for The Tallahassee Ballet

Founded in 1972, The Tallahassee Ballet is the area's only professional dance company, known for its dazzling performances of world-renowned ballets featuring exquisite music, original costumes, and innovative choreography.
