In their new home the classes will have sliding scale and schol- arship ballet, jazz and tap classes for children 3 1/2-14 years old and classes rich with quality instruc- tors caring to each child’s artistic, physical and mental health. Addi- tionally, adult ballet, jazz and tap classes will be offered on a dona- tion basis, and yoga and Pilates for $5 classes so adults too can invest in their personal health. Sue Darrow said, “As our dream continues to unfold, we welcome all members of the community to enjoy in this celebration, to dance, and to feel inspired.” Because Sue and Dan Darrow know that with encouragement and opportunity, children can sus- tainably improve their situations and also to inspire those around them to pursue their own dreams.
