(Notes on dancers bios: Several of the dancer's bios make reference to Los Angeles Classical Ballet and the Glory of Easter (and Christmas).  For clarification, The Los Angeles Classical Ballet was founded and directed by Long Beach Ballet's artistic director David Wilcox in 1983.  The Company shared the Academy's building for 15 years and became Southern California's largest professional ballet company before ceasing operations in 1998.  The Glory of Christmas and the Glory of Easter are grand scale productions produced by the Crystal Cathedral in Orange County, California and dancers are hired on a professional basis through rigorous auditions.
