DANCING QUEEN: Young Los Gatan Lauren Powers, who is a level 4 student at Ballet San Jose School, is collecting gently used ballet apparel, which she plans to donate to the Dance for All School in Cape Town, South Africa. Lauren, who was just seen in BSJ’s production of Karen Gabay’s The Nutcracker, was inspired to organize the clothing drive after watching the HBO documentary Ghetto Ballet, which tracks the progress of members of a dance troupe that hails from one of Africa’s poorest locales. Those with ballet togs to donate should contact Ballet San Jose’s school office at 408.288.2820, ext. 223, or registrar@balletsj.org.
