The dance program at ACPA was like a gateway for me to find my personal style and creativity. No pressure, no forcefulness, just a helping hand in opening myself up to what I never knew I was capable of.

I have never been judged ever for anything I've said or done. Nearly every opinion and idea is accepted and/or tolerated. Plus, whenever I'm feeling down or just not up to it, I have people emotionally supporting me and making sure my day is much better than before.

Although some of the teachers and students may not always understand what others are experiencing, they are always willing to learn.

I just wanted to express my feelings during an ACPA visit I had with my children, Taylor and Tyne. GG Howard was kind enough to set up a shadowing experience for them on that day. It was an absolutely astounding day!
