"Today, Olivia had her first "Gig Out & Grow" Virtual Concert with our YPAC ARTS family. We had 20+ family members from 5 different states sign on to Zoom to catch her performance. Quarantine has offered us the opportunity to experience more than we would have been able to normally in some cases. I am grateful for Olivia's sweet voice, our loving family, our supportive YPAC family and God for giving us too many blessings to count."

"Thank you all for allowing Brynn the opportunity to be a part of this performing group and for all your hard work in making today’s event possible! We enjoyed listening to all the amazing talent that you all work so hard to develop! Amazing show!"

"I have been meaning to email this and keep forgetting and then we had our GT zoom meeting tonight (which went so good) and I wanted to tell you just what a kind soul Mr Ryan is. From the first time we started GT and theater he has always been such a supportive individual to Juliette. She has learned so much from him and continues too. I think what I just love the best about him is that even from when she was 6 when she started out, to now being 8, he gets down on her level and helps her understand and grow. I really appreciate all that he does and I’m sure you guys do too!"

"To Miss Amanda Hipperson. Having had the pleasure of watching you just instruct the online GT pre-pro ballet class tonight, I am struck by what an amazing teacher you are, and just how much those girls buy in to you — Natalie was prepping for this as soon as we finished dinner! This is an unbelievably challenging time for everyone involved in education, whether that be mathematics, dance, or anything in-between, not to mention the sacrifices we are making with family matters as we navigate an online learning environment. Getting to the point of this correspondence, THANK YOU for being the teacher and caring person that you are, and giving of your time to offer live class sessions... what a blessing that I am truly thankful for!"

"Finally got a chance to go over the google classroom stuff while I was preparing for our week. WOW! I absolutely love the organization of documents, knowing exactly what is expected, and the character lessons. Thank you YPAC!"

"Hi!

I just want to thank you for this! I know this will lift Kailey up so much! She continues to work daily on her stretches and practicing-she will love to have the structure of YPAC back! We hope you and your family are doing well during a hard time of change! Thank you!!!!"

"I just wanted to say thank you. Your video made me shed a couple of tears but it was so heart felt and so real and so true and so inspiring. I thank you and your husband very much for what you have created and what u do for our kids. I look forward to the zoom meeting tomorrow evening. Take care."

-Kristin B. (Alayna’s mom)

"Hi there! I just wanted to reach out and let you know how amazing I think that you are!

Your website is absolutely unbelievable to help all of your families do everything they possibly can to continue their dance education during this unpredictable and scary time. You are such an inspiration to all studio owners and artistic director is out there! Just.... thank you"
