Thank-you  Scottsdale League for the Arts,
Scottsdale Culinary Festival and the Arizona Republic
 
 for your recent 2008 grant that delivered
the dream of becoming  a Ballerina to a group of deserving girls in our community !
Your generosity gives them the tools to fulfill
their dreams, passions, and promises to themselves.
These tools  build their reality of
becoming whatever they put their minds and hearts into!
Thank-you so very much!   www.scottsdaleculinaryfestival.org

                                                                                      
 Budding Ballerinas  newest 2009 program
Possibilities for All 
with the help and  guidance of local grantors,
 is working to
 
reach even more young girls
regardless of physical, emotional or economic disabilities.
Wherever they may be  ~ they too will be given the
Possibility
to experience the Graceful Confidence 
of the Art of Ballet
through the Internet  ~  E-learning !
  
 Founded in 2004We’ve proudly taught over 200 girls
in our community~ life-long foundations of
 
Self Respect, Respect for Others and Self Accomplishment …
Something we call Graceful Confidence !
 
Now girls who could never dream of going to ballet-art class can
do so right in their own environment because of  Possibilities for All ! 
To encourage  Self -Respect from the excitement of learning on-line, 
once registered we will   be sending each girl  in the mail
their own Budding Ballerina totebag
filled with  their own 
Ballet-Art Portfolio , Ballet Journal ,
Leotard, Tights and the most magical piece  ~
their own pretty in pink  ballet slippers (PIPs) !
To build their Sense of Accomplishment
they will once again recieve in the mail,
their Certficate of Completion, TUTU and 
to build Respect for Others, the completion of their lessons
will earn another pair of  pretty in pink slippers (PIPs)
for another young girl who waits in the wings
to become a Budding Ballerina !

You don’t have to sprout Wings, or a Tutu ~
just a Great Big Heart to become a
Budding Ballerina Sponsor, Angel or Friend of the Arts !
 
As you know ~ even standing on their Tiptoes ~ 
the Tutu, the Tights, the Slippers, the Instruction
will only remain a Dream without your support.

Your commitment  to sponsor one Ballerina at a time
for just $100.00 
will plant the seeds for Possibilities for All   to grow  and

assure the success of
Budding Ballerinas Ballet-Art non-profit programming to
to reach many deserving  girls,  far into the future!
More deserving girls than we ever dreamed of reaching .

Please accept our appreciation of your invaluable support ahead of time.  

    What makes Budding Ballerinas Uniquely Different ?

Nowhere else is Ballet taught through the Arts !
Each lesson students are introduced to new Ballet movements.
To truely own the movements they  sketch and paint themselves as
Budding Ballerinas in their own Art Portfolio, performing these ballet movements, while listening to Musical Composers they will recognize and
appreciate the rest of their lives !
All together, these girls are developing Self respect,
their own sense of Accomplishment and Respect for others,

Something  disappearing in our society,
something we like to call ~ Graceful Confidence 
!
Our Mission
...
is to increase self-empowerment and community cultural development
for girls regardless or ability or income. 
In a safe environment, we present unique opportunities of creative thought and
physical expression through Art, Ballet Liturature and Music. 
Budding Ballerinas commits itself to each students' success by empowering them to envision and achieve their potential through these various Art forms. 
Moreover, Budding Ballerinas believes that ART is an integral catalyst of a healthy community and it presence creates opportunities of community.
 
Graceful Confidence comes with each step of ballet,
musical note, each page turned, and each stroke of the paint brush !

our Premise ...
… to remain conscious of Dance as an Art even when teaching
the simplest beginning fundamentals.
Art is experience, and nowhere does one experience
Art so greatly
as in Dance and Music.
Budding Ballerinas' embraces the process of Learning as infinitely more valuable
than the end product.
Our goal is to awaken an Appreciation in all of our Budding Ballerina's ...
for Movement, Grace, and Ballet
within an environment sparked with wonder
for all of the Arts!

2. To increase the development of self respect, strengthen the respect for others while cultivating the value of self achievement.
3. To explore cultural awareness that is cultivated by physical, intellectual and aesthetic values,
which in doing so will strengthen the student’s capacity for learning.

the need of our student’s artistic and intellectual growth.
