DEAR Arts Youniversity....(from the parents)

-- "I just wanted to send you a note of thanks for the wonderful NYC experience weekend.

Danielle had an absolutely wonderful time, as did I.  Your talent extends well beyond the performing arts as you have an obvious gift for creating exciting opportunities for your students.  The exposure you have given the students to NY as well as to the parents (especially those of use that are unfamiliar to NY and have children that want to work there some day) is greatly appreciated.   Already looking forward to next year.
 --Kim Flood, Arts YOUniversity Company Member Mom


- "I just wanted to say thank you for putting together such an amazing
show!! (Little Rhythms 2010) We enjoyed every minute of it!  What a great idea to break up the
little one's acts with the Jr and Sr Company performances.  I can't wait
to get the dvd and show Stevie what an amazing dancer Miss Emily is.
This time last year, Stevie was getting chemo and received roses for having a
kidney removed.  Yesterday, she held up her roses proudly and celebrated
her performance.  What a difference a year can make.  We continue to be
blessed in so many ways and I am so happy Stevie is a part of your
school.  Thank you for taking the time to give Stevie that extra boost
of confidence when she gets scared or tired.  I don't know what you all
do but she always come back happy and excited!  It is a very special
school that takes the time to be so kind and patient with their little
ones.  Please pass my appreciation along to Miss Lisa and Miss Emily too.
Stevie asked me yesterday when her next recital would be.   When I said
next year, she wilted a bit until I told her that camp was only few
weeks away.   Needless to say the big smile returned!  I look forward to
September when all three of my girls will become part of the magic.
Thank you for bringing magic into to all of our lives!

--With Love and Gratitude, Mare, Shel, and Stevie  Arts YOUniversity Family


- "The W.I.P. show on Sunday was wonderful! Of course, Susan (Owen) was a real treat,
but we also enjoyed the Indian dance and all of the students. It's such a
pleasure to watch them mature and grow into real entertainers. Thank you for
all of your hard work and dedication. We appreciate all you do for Molly and
are thrilled with her progress and her positive attitude. I'm sure you
realize it more and more as the years go by and your students grow; you are
not just teaching technique and art forms. You are shaping young lives and
play a huge role in molding character. We treasure all of you at Arts YOU
and will always be grateful that you are part of our daughter's life.

-- Kathy Smith        Arts YOUniversity Mom

A lot of my friends & parents asked about your school as a result - so expect some inquiry."

You two are great at what you do!  And I, and I''m sure so many others, are grateful!

She relates all of the stories you share with the class to us at night.  You have a great gift of being able to teach in many different ways and as parents we feel truly blessed to have you and Susanne as role models for our girl."

As a parent, we love and teach our children values, right from wrong and how to walk with their heads up high, and every once in awhile, someone comes into their lives that impacts them in another positive way. Words will never express how grateful, as a parent, I am that it was you. You allowed her to be herself, all while developing her confidence & being her mentor & friend. I hope some day that someone does for your children what you did for mine."
