FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE
In the
Spotlight
I just wanted to give you an update from Interlochen.
I am really enjoying my time here... I was really happy
to receive one of the 8 solos. I am in a large tap
number as well as the core group of jazz dancers. The
dancing is rather challenging but I am keeping up thanks
to all of my great PAA training! Thanks again for all of
the ways that you have helped and supported me!
-
Jana, 14 year old ballet & tap student
Thank you so much for a
wonderful semester with ballet and the wonderful recital
tonight. I thought it couldn't have been more perfect
and I felt secure with your check-in/check-out system
that my daughter was safe! Thank you for providing this
program. It's been exciting to watch Katie grow with
confidence each week and try new things!
- Mom of
Katie, 3 year old ballet student
Thank you for all you do and
have done for Kirstie. The love of dance and
self-expression you have instilled in her will be a large part
of her life forever. The confident glow on her face as she feels
music displays your fingerprint. Forever grateful...
- Mom of
Kirstie, Graduate of ballet, jazz & hip-hop programs
Please know that you are doing wonderful
things with your studio and I am proud to say that I was part of
it. I will definitely be back as often as I can, and keep you
updated on my Disney adventures.

Dennis, Graduate of ballet, tap and jazz programs
