Subject: Approve Agreement for Anaheim Ballet
Hello,
My name is Maggie Ochoa, and I am the Dance Director at Katella High School in Anaheim. A former student
of mine shared the concerning news about the city repurposing the Anaheim Cultural Arts Center and what that
might mean for Anaheim Ballet, which is housed there.
Please vote in favor of giving the city and Anaheim Ballet 1 year to negotiate a home and their continued
partnership.
Anaheim Ballet has been a cornerstone in the Anaheim arts community, education scene, and vibrant arts
culture of Orange County for decades. Many students have risen through the school ranks and become
professional artists through the elite teachers they provide. For the students and company members of Anaheim
Ballet, the studio is a "home away from home" and provides a place of belonging ... of artistic growth ... and of
improved self esteem and self confidence.
The loss of Anaheim Ballet would be devastating to the community of Anaheim, to Orange County, and
California as a whole. A historic ballet company and school would be lost at a time when students need it most.
Thank you for your consideration to vote in agreement of the proposal.
Sincerely,
Maggie Ochoa
Mrs. Maggie Ochoa
