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, 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, ballet student	► Congratulations to Liz McNitt and Ayla Russell, who just joined the PAA Splitz Club! ► Congratulations to Abigail Traxler, our Student of the Month! ► Congratulations to the entire cast of Mary Poppins!
