Born Dancing in Action
"The elementary aged students were exposed to a plethora of job and career opportunities that they may not have been privy to without this experience. These include interacting with a live orchestra, choreographers, sound engineers, professional dancers, lighting technicians, and many other 'behind the scenes' jobs that make a production come to life."
-- Jennifer Flinn-Knizeski
Special Education Teacher
"Charlotte learned discipline and had a wonderful experience at her first professional dance concert at an esteemed Manhattan theater. That was fantastic in and of itself, but more importantly, she got to dance with her fellow schoolmates and experience other dancers with disabilities and witness their abilities."
-- Gayle Snible
Parent
"While learning the art and technique of dancing our students have also increased their confidence and willingness to take risks and try new things. Most importantly, our students have learned lessons of inclusiveness, understanding, and the power of collaboration."
-- Meghan Kelley
