Thanks to the Underground Railroad Freedom
Center for allowing an excellent outing for

KH Pre-Schooler to Perform with
Moscow Ballet
Next Saturday is a big day
for little Anye Milan Shabazz of Kennedy
Heights, a pre-schooler at TCP World Academy.
Anye will be performing in the Nutcracker
with the world renowned Moscow Ballet.
Thanks to Tatyana Makarova, founder of the
Cincinnati Dance Academy, Anye was encouraged
to try out for the Moscow Ballet's
performance in Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati Dance Academy provides a
creative home for young bodies, minds and
spirits. Ms. Makarova's experience guiding
young dancers from the first steps to stage
premieres has helped make the Academy one of
the best schools in Cincinnati.
The Moscow Ballet casts children ages seven
to young teens from across the country for
its Great Russian Nutcracker U.S. Tour. Anye
nailed her audition and was selected to
perform in not one, but two scenes.
The Moscow Ballet will have a single
performance of the Nutcracker
on Nov. 24th at 3:00 p.m. at the Taft Theater.
