Dear Mayor Sidhu and Council Members,
The arts are an important part of the Anaheim Community and surrounding areas. My student dancer danced in Irvine
for 8 years. At 15 years old, the time came for her to leave her current Irvine studio, directors and friends for a new
perspective and training. After hours and hours of research, several open classes at various local studios, including trips
to Long Beach we decided her new dance studio would be Anaheim Ballet. She was able to attend Anaheim for the year
before the Covid Crash. During this year she was able to grow and mature both on and off the dance floor. Larry and
Sarma and all those involved with Anaheim Ballet have a deep concern for each and every student. They want each
child and adult to reach their full potential and they will support and provide every opportunity to do so. They have the
ability and desire to give each dancer confidence both on and off the dance floor. The current studio location, Anaheim
Cultural Arts Center is the perfect location as it is centered around various freeways making it accessible from both
Orange County and LA County. It is rich in history and the dancers are invigorated as they study and learn within these
walls. Anaheim Ballet has taken great interest in the Anaheim Community as well as the surrounding areas. This
amazing studio has given many dancers of all background and economic situations opportunities and we hope to see
many more dancers grow and progress through the program at Anaheim Ballet.
