Eugene Ballet

Dmae Roberts talks with Toni Pimble & Riley Grannon , the founders of the Eugene Ballet Company.

When they started the ballet school in Eugene in 1978, they had no idea that it would grow into a $2 million dance company with original productions touring throughout the world. Eugene Ballet Company is on of the few ballet organizations with a woman leading as artistic director. She is also one of the few women in classical dance who choreographs. Listen to this  Oregon Treasures feature story on Eugene Ballet.
