We thank once again everyone who participated in Inna Ballet’s Ribbon Cutting Ceremony that was held on January 9, 2013. This event was announced by Mayor Thomas S. Richards at the City of Rochester website. Commissioner R. Carlos Carballada of the City’s Department of Neighborhood and Business Development spoke at the event, presented Inna Ballet with a commemorative plaque, and tested the height and quality of the ballet barres. Thad Schofield, Project Manager of Economic Development at City of Rochester, and Josh Jensen, Director of Community Affairs at the office of NYS Senator Joseph E. Robach, also wished Inna Ballet to grow and be an asset to the community. Special thanks are to the Rochester’s News 10 NBC for showing the event on the news, and to city photographer Ira Srole for creating memorable pictures.
