ANAHEIM BALLET
Dearest Mayor Sidhu and Esteemed Council Members,
Recently returning west from NYC, a major factor in this move was returning to Anaheim Ballet, it's incredible
Directorship,
training, community service and also the cultural building Anaheim Ballet currently resides. Having performed
professionally,
directed a ballet company and school I have found ANAHEIM BALLET. to be the premiere arts institution of
it's kind
throughout this vast country: the United States. I have traveled throughout the country, performing, educating,
directing. and
choreographing for years however my heart has always been with ANAHEIM BALLET.
The Rosenberg's and staff have trained, educated, nourished and provided a "family" for thousands of dancers
and their respective
families, have trained the performers of Disney productions, and continue to open their arms to anyone who
jete's through their doors.
Albeit extraordinary educators, human beings, mentors and colleagues the Directors of ANAHEIM BALLET
remain humble, a quality
rarely seen in this profession.
I humbly request you reconsider rescinding the mandate and negotiate a cooperative agreement with
ANAHEIM BALLET to remain in residency
of the Cultural Arts Center, Anaheim's gem. Wherever the public may assist in this endeavor, please advise,
ANAHEIM BALLET is a cultural institution
which must remain a part of Anaheim's landscape.
Kindest Regards,
Belle Jolie
P.S. I carried a photo of the Cultural Arts Center/Anaheim Ballet with me throughout my 12 years
performing. educating throughout the U.S.
