Greetings!
Our fall has been jammed packed with new student enrollment, preparations for the Youth America Grand Prix competitions, and Nutcracker auditions. Tonight is the final chance to audition for the Nutcracker performance presented this December by Danzamerica; ages 4-12 only. Thank you! Enrollment in our classes for the pre-professional program are completely full. Our pre-professional students continue to be scouted by prestigious national ballet companies and are invited to enroll; often with full scholarships. We always miss them when they leave but we couldn't be happier to have been chosen to train these students for their professional careers in classical ballet. America's Ballet School has expanded our social media presence. If you are online please take a minute to connect with us on Facebook, LinkedIn and You Tube. Thank You, Paula Nunez Artistic Director, America's Ballet School |

Featured Student Of The Month
Olivia Kabat has been training for her professional career in classical ballet with America's Ballet School for the past five years and she has been dancing since she was three. Olivia has just been invited to attend the prestigious Ellison Ballet School in New York City. Ellison is very exclusive and only invites a limited number of students per year to join their program. Congratulations on your achievements Olivia and we are so proud to have you at America's Ballet School. Best of luck in New York! Just before this newsletter was published we received this incredible thank you note from Olivia!
Dear Ms. Paula, Before I go, I wanted to thank you for all that America's Ballet School has done for me. This place has been such a big part of my life for so long. I really feel like it has had a huge influence on me both as a dancer and as a person. Since I've been at your school I've learned so much about discipline, hard work, good technique, and overcoming adversity. I am also very appreciative of the many performance opportunities I have been given at ABS. All of which have helped me to become a stronger more versatile dancer. Ms. Paula, I know it is because of the training I have received at ABS that this new window of opportunity has opened up for me.
Thank you,
Love,
Olivia |
