“I just have to tell you how great I think danceablity is. My daughter, Monica, still keeps watching her recital DVD every day. What really gets me is that she is just as excited each and every time she watches and relives it and I keep getting drawn to it as well. And it keeps giving me “goose bumps” every time. It was just the most exceptional recital I have ever been to. The level of joy and accomplishment of the dancers was amazing.
That’s one of the things that my daughter just loves about dancing; she actually got to do tap dancing, just like her younger sister, who is able to attend any average dance studio. It’s not just the idea of having a dance studio for special needs individuals, it’s having Robin, Christine and Amanda and all of the wonderful volunteers. I have had her involved in enough things to realize that it is the people who run the programs and work with the children who make the difference. If the students can’t relate to the teachers, counselors etc….then it just doesn’t work.
At only 13 years old, my daughter was aging and maturing out of many programs and when her little sister started dancing, she wanted to as well. I am so grateful that danceablity exists. It has given her a new outlet to have fun with friends and do something that she can be proud of.
She had danced several years ago before danceability existed, but was not as excited as she has been with your company. I think the people who run it: having a volunteer for each student as well as letting the students do tap, ballet, jazz, hip hop (all things I noticed at the recital) has made all the difference in the world for her to have such a positive experience.
Thank you so much for having the courage and foresight to create danceability.”
