The dance studio throws charity ballets every two years. The 2009 performance of “The Nutcracker” at the Alcazar Theatre raised money for scholarships in Chonburi while the 2011 performance of “Swan Lake” held in coordination with the Lions Club of Pattaya-Taksin at the Tiffany Theatre benefitted the Chai Pattana Foundation.
