Here is a huge thank you for the positive impact you have had on my daughter, Alice. I have been meaning to let you know that in the last year, she has grown in confidence, grace, determination, and strength. Her growth extends beyond ballet and even unto her academics. Alice came 1st position in her class. I am super proud of her especially when I see how much fun she has dancing and how much she has grown in the last year. She has a great deal of regard for you. Your approach with your students while professional and courteous, has earned you a great deal of respect from them.
Thank you for all you do. Please keep up the good work.
The Slum to stage program helps children align to their creative and artistic existence. The program gives children the opportunity to transcend their limitations, the opportunity to become BECOME.
Slum to stage is bridging the gap between aspiring dancers and the captivating world of ballet. They deserve commendation for their inclusive approach to ballet training. Unlike many traditional ballet schools, they actively encourage participation from all background, regardless of gender, socio- economic status or pervious dance experience, making it accessible to a wider audience.
Ballet is not available in this part of our world. It is a good thing that Slum to Stage is giving children access to this captivating dance style.
Thank you for bringing out the best in Ada.
