I know that my daughter has developed the characteristics to be able to start start dancing at 13, do an ABT summer intensive a year later, and test her limits as a dancer, performer, and young, novice choreographer because you fostered them. You provided the environment, training and encouragement that stretched her brain, her body, her desire and her potential. Your faith in her gave her tools that are hard to come by and the payoff goes far beyond the studio and stage; her life will be far better for it.
