Amazing
Kids! of the Month for August, 1998:
Saint Joseph
Ballet, Santa Ana, California
Saint Joseph Ballet is a ballet
school and dance company located in the heart of some of the toughest inner-city
neighborhoods in Southern California. For 15 years, Saint Joseph
Ballet has worked with the youth in the area to offer them a creative alternative
to gangs, drugs, teenage pregnancy and latch-key loneliness. With
a majority of the dance students on scholarship, Saint Joseph Ballet has
empowered at-risk youth to gain self-esteem, self-discipline and a sense
of accomplishment. With impassioned, dedicated artistic director
Beth Burns at the helm, the company has received national recognition for
artistic and program excellence. To date, over 32,000 inner-city
youth have been reached through Saint Joseph Ballet's dance training, performing
and outreach programs.
