Dear YADA Family,
Because of YADA and their performances, our daughter Marley has grown tremendously. As result of her working towards these shows she has learned the value of hard work and what it takes to make a performance great, by rehearsing at home, focusing in class and learning her lines. She’s learned the importance of punctuality and accountability and how important it is to be on time and ready to rehearse. She’s learned the value of teamwork as it takes collaboration of others to make a performance come together. And from that collaboration she’s made amazing friends at YADA and what the value of that friendship means.
Marley’s confidence and self-esteem have grown incredibly since she stared doing YADA performances. The little girl that started as apprehensive and shy has grown into a young lady that has no problem storming out onto stage, belting out songs and dancing her heart out. This is something that her mom exclaims that she herself could never do. And because of that confidence that YADA has instilled she’s willing to use that voice to support what she believes in….All of them being amazing fundamentals that have benefitted Marley.
However, for her mother and me the greatest benefit besides those listed above are the memories. The pictures, the videos, the hugs, kisses and smiles during and after the performance are unbeatable…and none of them would be available to our family without the financial aid program and incredible generosity of the staff and decision makers at YADA.
We thank you,
