(Jon Perez)\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Glushko Academy of Performing Arts creative director and choreographer Anna Glushko is seeking support from various sectors of the community to help her keep  organizing ballet and dance concerts on Saipan.<\/p>\n<p>The Ballet of the Stars 2016 was shown last Saturday at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multipurpose Center in Susupe, but she revealed that this might be their last show unless somebody helps her in raising funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t raise the money on my own. I can\u2019t be the artist, creative director, and at the same time organizing fundraisers. We need help from the community,\u201d said Glushko, who opened the dance school in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>The surprising news somewhat dampened the lively mood of the crowd after a successful show that featured Russian ballet dancers Margarita Rudina and Alexey Nasadovich together with Glushko\u2019s students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe girls and I love to dance. We love performing. We are only a little dance school and we can\u2019t do it without sponsors. This was the lowest this year in terms of sponsorships and the least support from donors,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Glushko is appealing for the community\u2019s help. \u201cI hope organizations, businesses, and other members of the community could assist us. I can\u2019t do it by myself. I love my job but it is really a hard year for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said that every show they build a platform on the stage and rent other equipment needed. \u201cWe always have our lights and sound equipment and rent chairs. Plus we also have to build a platform and that also costs us labor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Glushko added that they are also about to move to another studio after spending more than 10 years at the Marianas Business Plaza formerly Nauru Building. \u201cIt has been a tough year for us. We\u2019re moving to another place and we\u2019re going to announce where it is as soon as we finalize the details.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just hope somebody stepped up to help me in organizing fundraising events and at the same time generous donors would do their share in helping us hold shows like this on Saipan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two-part show started with the Sleeping Beauty Wedding with Rudina and Nasadovich playing the main characters of Princess Aurora and Prince Desire. Glushko, playing the Lilac Fairy, and her students portraying popular fairytale characters supported them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glushko Academy of Performing Arts creative director and choreographer Anna Glushko is seeking support from&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":228905,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[10947,11783,11784,9259],"class_list":["post-228904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-anna-glushko","tag-lilac-fairy","tag-nauru-building","tag-tenorio-multipurpose-center"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
