“Aspire Project”
space, as their original dream con-
tinues to unfold.
On April 11, 2015, the communi-
ty can be a part of this dream, still
in the making, when The Aspire
Project celebrates the grand open-
ing of its St. Johns’ Performance
Arts and Dance Space.
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.
The Grand Opening Celebration
will be April 11, 2015 from 3:00-
6:00pm at 8426 N. Lombard.
They invite the community to
come meet The Aspire Project and
have a fun-fi lled day of dancing
with your child, watching perfor-
mances and short class demonstra-
tions, explore the four new stu-
dio spaces, enjoy complimentary
snacks and refreshments, and par-
ticipate in a fun raffl e.
