My Nonprofit Reviews

I was a student at On Stage over 20 years ago, but the lessons I learned while there have stayed with me throughout my career. When a student goes to On Stage, they not only learn to dance; they learn skills for teamwork (try to perform in the March of the Wooden Soldiers without working as a team...), time management (dedicated homework zones in the wings of the theater during rehearsals), giving & receiving feedback (critiques of form & technique throughout class), executive presence (ability to get on a stage in front of hundreds of people and continuing to smile & be graceful if something goes wrong), problem solving (organizing costumes & shoes to quickly change between routines), and leadership (senior company members aiding junior students). As a current executive at a Fortune 100 company, I wish I could send some of the leaders I am responsible for developing at work to On Stage to learn from Miss Linda. As a leader, Miss Linda demands the best of her students, and pushes them to achieve their full potential. An investment in an On Stage student will pay dividends in the value the alumni will bring to any environment they work in.
