My Nonprofit Reviews

About 12 years ago I met Mario Nugara, the artistic director of the City of Angels Ballet. He is a man with a mission: to bring classical dance training to qualified children in Los Angeles' inner city neighborhoods. In an era when the arts are rapidly disappearing from the public schools' curriculum, Mario and his colleagues are providing opportunity, discipline, and joy to children who otherwise would have never had the experience of professional dance training. Every child trained by Mario may never grow up to be a member of a professional ballet corps, but all of them will take the lessons learned during this experience to other aspects of their life as they mature into adults and take their place in our society. It's a win-win situation for everyone.
