"In collaboration with Orlando Ballet, Ms. Laurel brings energy and light that keeps our participants active and engaged. Ballet is an important part of our Performing Arts program, and at the end of each semester, our performers have the chance to showcase their progress. A big thank you to Ms. Laurel and Orlando Ballet for their unwavering support and for helping our dancers grow with confidence and skill."

Makayla Kameroff - Mephibo’s House: Program Coordinator

"It has been such an amazing experience to witness our daughter with autism get to experience and be involved in an enrichment program where she is accommodated and treated with kindness and respect for her differences. This program has made dance accessible to children who may not otherwise get to experience it in this way and we are eternally grateful to every person involved in making this program happen."
