Instead of just cutting a ribbon, Ballet Austin wrapped the front of the new Butler Dance Education Center like a package. Mayor Will Wynn is speaking before the gift is unwrapped and the block party begins. Listening are Dr. Ernest and Sarah Butler, who made the major donations for the building, Cookie Ruiz, executive director of the Ballet company and Stephen Mills, artistic director. The community then flowed in to see all the opportunities ballet affords from buying tickets to see the professional company in the Paramount and, in the spring, the Long Center to taking a dance, yoga or Pilates class themselves or enrolling their children.
