Dear Mayor Sidhu and Council Members,
I respectfully urge you to please vote at the April 27 meeting in support of the Cooperati ve Agreement wi th Anaheim Ballet.
I recently began taking ballet classes, and it has been a wonderful challenge for me. I am learni ng healthy body alignment,
improving my physical well-being, and participating in a supportive and welcoming communi ty — all at an affordable cost. Ballet
has also given me a new outlet where I am slowly building friendships and connections.
Recent public conversations, including comments from actor Timothy Chalamet suggesting that people no longer care about
ballet, make spaces like Anaheim Ballet even more important. The City Council has the opportuni ty to show that the arts sti ll
matter. Institutions like Anaheim Ballet demonstrate that ballet continues to have deep value for i ndivi duals and communi ti es
when it is accessible and supported. Losing this space risks sending the message that the arts are not valued, when i n fact they
play an essential role in community health, connection, and cultural enrichment.
It is best for the community — and especially for underserved youth — that Anaheim Ballet remains in its current accessi ble
location. Please approve this agreement and help ensure Anaheim Ballet can conti nue servi ng Anahei m residents wi th hi gh-
quality ballet education that is not easily found elsewhere.
Thank you,
-Jennie
