2 months of Ballet for Courtnie who loves to dance!

Posted Nov 8, 2017
Courtnie LOVES dancing, however, she has never taken real dance classes. In Courtnie’s short 4 years of life she has been through more trauma than most adults. She was witness to the death of her 6 month old little brother almost one year ago and since that time she has been moved from one foster home to another and has now finally settled in with her aunt. Courtnie’s spirit shines through it all. She is a leader among her co-preschoolers, she is patient and makes sure all children are invited to play. She is courageous, self-confident, and a natural athlete. Courtnie has requested ballet lessons and the love of dance could become a disciplined outlet she can use for the rest of her life. There is no doubt she will become quite the ballerina.It would be wonderful for her to have the opportunity to shine in an activity that utilizes some of her natural abilities.

Courtnie is 11 years old and lives in CA

Courtnie is a great kid who has some fantastic athletic ability. She has such resiliency despite some very difficult family trauma. It would be wonderful for her to have the opportunity to shine in an activity which utilizes some of her natural abilities. Her caregiver says she has expressed interest in dance lessons, and thus her caregiver would like Courtnie to try ballet.
