THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR MAKING IT A MEMORABLE NIGHT!

Here are comments we have received about the Benefit:
-"I wanted to tell you 2 things: First, thanks for last night's benefit concert. I am amazed by you and your studio and your willingness to donate your time, talents and energies. You did a FANTASTIC job with everything last night. To be honest…I was thinking I’d buy a ticket, make my donation, and stay home and watch Lost. But, I am SOOOO glad I came. It was just a beautiful night. Second…Your dancers are unbelievable!! I have been to my share of dance recitals, and I am totally amazed and impressed with the quality of your dancers. SO IMPRESSED!!!"

"Thank you for giving the girls the experience they had last night. It is so very nice to be associated with people who reach out to help others and grow talents at the same time. Jeff, Brittan, and I thought the concert was so entertaining and touching. You are awesome!"
-S. Weber

"What an incredible amount of love and effort went into last night's performance. You have worked so hard and it shows by the way the show flowed and the beauty in each different piece. The girls loved having Benji come too. All I can say is, "WOW!" You truly are an amazing group and I am so appreciative that my daughter, Janae has the opportunity to work with each of you, Derryl and the amazing Odyssey dancers as well. Maryann was incredible as were all the special needs kids. As a special education teacher, I love that you have chosen to give back with kids that have special needs.
I am excited to continue our association in the future, as you are such beautiful caring women who have given so much to our kids. Thanks again for all you do and for an awesome concert!"

"The concert was amazing! What a wonderful thing you did for Marianne. I was truly touched by the whole night. The choreography was incredible and you could see the improvement in everyone. The Pointe girls really did shine. I liked how you bought other groups to perform in the concert as well. Thank you for all you do. I know that was a huge effort to pull it off last night. Great job."
