“I love that you do this. My favorite part about the program is that it gave her a chance to be a dancer in her own way. She loves to dance, and despite the challenges she faces, your class gave her a chance to be a dancer.”
Tara Bly Hackwelder -Parent
" I love helping out because it combines two of my favorite things dancing and helping out little kids. Growing up I went with my mom to work. She works at a daycare. Although I don't go anymore I had the opportunity to help with kids of all ages. Soon enough I fell in love with the idea of teaching and helping the kids. This is when I also found my love of art and just being creative. Ever since then I wanted time be an elementary school teacher. When Cassidy asked me if I wanted to help I immediately said yes. Helping out is one of my favorite nights to be there. The kids bring me so much joy. I can always count on them to give me a smile on a bad day. My hope is for this program time grow bigger so that everyone has the chance to express themselves no matter the circumstances. Next year I hope I can help even more and bring more smiles to there faces."
Sarah- Student Assistant
I love helping out and working with these kids because they brighten my week and I have always loved working with kids. I have been dancing for as long as I can remeber and I love it so much. When I was about 12 I got to help out with some combo classes at the studio and I love it so much. I started helping with more classes and this year is when I got the opportunity to help teach these amazing kids with this program. I have loved every second of it, and it is now something i am interested in as a career. Every week I look forward for Thursday so I can see these kids. I miss these guys and I can't wait to see them again. I love helping with this program because it gives everyone the opportunity to dance no matter who you are, because everyone can dance.
