Anaheim Ballet
Dear Mayor Sidhu and Council Members,
As current Ballet Mistress of one of Mexico's top 3 professional ballet companies and former international principal
dancer, I have heard the disheartening news that that iconic Anaheim Ballet is at risk of losing its current
architecturally unique site at the Anaheim Cultural Arts Center. This move could cause irreparable harm to this
valued arts force which for over 20 years, has placed Anaheim on the map of the national and international dance
scene.
Anaheim Ballet has had a tremendous positive influence on its community thanks to its strong outreach program
and is known for the unbeaten dance training it offers, resulting in alumni that win prizes at important dance
competitions and are hired by top professional companies. Anaheim Ballet instructors are renowned for their
excellent teaching skills and often invited to teach at other schools and professional companies locally and
internationally.
It would be a shame to lose this point of pride to the City.
It is imperative that you vote in support of the Cooperative Agreement with Anaheim Ballet and keep it in its current
central and accessible location for the benefit of the community and current and future generations of young
dancers.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Slauka Ladewig Senkowski
Ballet de Jalisco
