(Ballet Dancer) No photo with Rebecca

Recently, my social justice group had the pleasure of meeting with Rebecca Elbogen, a dance mentor at Ballet for All Kids. Ballet for All Kids is a program designed to teach kids of all ages and ability how to dance. Rebecca grew up dancing seriously but knew early on that she didn’t want to be a professional dancer. She wanted to teach kids. Now, as a highly trained dancer, she is able to be a mentor and role model for young kids with and without disabilities who have passions for dance. She is truly an amazing person whose main goal and priority is helping others find their creativity, imagination and passions through dance. She is impactful on people who are not disabled. She is motivational to those who are. And she is inspiring to both. I hope Rebecca has the chance to be a role model to everyone around her for the rest of her life because we need people like her to make the world a better place all the time.
