Dear Mayor Sidhu and Council Members,
As a dance enthusiast, I have followed the work of Anaheim Ballet for many years and seen how it has transformed
the lives of many of its students and its families with its generous and gifted work. The arts are an essential part of
any community, and for more than 20 years, Anaheim Ballet has been a valued arts force and presence in Anaheim.
Anaheim Ballet provides free community-based after-school programming, workforce and recreational training, bus -
in presentations, lecture/demonstrations and concert performances and has been recognized both locally and
internationally for its outstanding work.
The Anaheim Cultural Arts Center (Anaheim Ballet's current home) is slated to be demolished without plans for a
new Cultural Arts Center or home for the Anaheim Ballet. If the City moves forward with these plans, it will remove
only Cultural Arts Center in the City and displace the City's treasured arts organization. It is best for the community,
and especially for its underserved youth, that Anaheim Ballet remains in its current accessible location!
Please vote in support of the Cooperative Agreement with Anaheim Ballet. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Nadia Senkowski
