"Tommy was a student around 8 years ago (the year the airplane took out the power during the recital). Your classes really motivated him, and he continued to study dance in Florida at the Palm Beach Ballet Center and at the school district's schools of the arts. Tommy placed in the finals in the YAGP (international ballet competition) this year. He was selected to be an understudy for Billy Elliot, a fabulous musical! Thousands of boys try and few are selected, but one of those is a former student of yours! --Tommy's Dad"~ Tommy's Dad
