Testimonials
“When I saw PBD was offering Pathways classes, I immediately asked if I could attend even though I was not a current student. They responded right away and said ‘absolutely’! After just one class, I walked away with more knowledge, resources and hope for my career then I have had in months of trying on my own. I’m excited to keep learning how to grow my passion for dance how to do it efficiently!”
“As a parent I’m grateful I took the opportunity to attend the PBD Pathways meeting. The discussion on goal setting reinforced concepts, as well as gave new ideas, about what we have been talking about at home. The meeting also gave me more understanding into the occupational field and recreational field of Ballroom Dancing. I didn’t realize how broad and how many options there were for my child to continue in the dance and movement industry. I’m grateful my dancer has this opportunity to learn more about future options, discover mentoring resources, and I am happy to have tools to help her research and achieve her goals.”
