As a young girl I was painfully shy. When I say Painfully, I mean I would hide under tables & cry all day until I was picked up by my mom. Until I joined dance class when I was 8 years old. Dance & music gave me a creative outlet that I felt confident & excelled at. I continued to go on to do shows & recitals of which supported me in becoming the woman I am today. Shy would definitely not be on the top of the list when my friends describe me today.
In my opinion music, dance, art & sports are all necessary to the education and development of our children in our communities. So when these programs are being cut from our children's schools, it PISSES ME OFF! The Any Given Child Program the Smith Center is participating with is wonderful! Read on:
"It is an exciting time in Clark County and Las Vegas for the arts and arts education. With the opening of The Smith Center and the amount of arts education resources already available throughout the community and in the schools, we hope that the Any Given Child process will help in bringing everyone together to ensure that every child has the arts as part of their education. From the strong support of the CCSD Superintendent to the Mayor of Las Vegas to the leaders of the arts groups to the entire community, Las Vegas is poised to be an example for the state, the region, and the nation on how to provide children with an education that includes the arts." Darrell Ayers, Vice President of Education
