Testimonials

Thank you so much for sharing such a special CDC event with us last night. Seeing so many familiar and new faces brought such joy—it was truly heartwarming and brought back so many wonderful memories.

You’ve created an incredible community. Being there reminded me just how much you and Cheshire Dance Centre have meant to all of us over the years. It was our safe place, our creative outlet, and truly a home away from home. You trained us not just in dance, but in grace, resilience, and care.

I even felt a little teary-eyed on stage, thinking about the impact CDC has had on our lives. Watching the senior instructors interact so gently and thoughtfully with the younger dancers was so touching—their tone, their presence—it was clear your legacy continues through them.

Thank you again for including us in such a meaningful night. I loved seeing everyone, and I hope this is just the beginning of more reunions to come.

Love, Sarah (Quigley) Gambardella, Cheshire Dance Centre, 2001

You were the most influential teacher I had in my lifetime. From ages 4-18 I learned so much from your grace, candor, light, and ability to hear the music. Music has been such an influential part of my life because of dance at CDC. Additionally, your advice in one of your previous emails is what guided me in this direction. I had always thought law was for me, and I realized after reading your email, I want a job where I can help people in any way I can. My personal statement for my MA focuses mainly on my goal to work with Veterans and active military personnel.

I've been dancing around my apartment a lot recently. Specifically, to Whitney Houston. (Bella’s CDC graduating senior solo was choreographed by Ms Seibert to “The Greatest Love of All”). Love has always guided me Ms. Seibert and I really owe a lot of that love to you.

Thank you so much for writing me a recommendation. I’d like to let you know I have officially accepted Fairfield University’s offer. I will be studying in a clinical environment working to make change in any way I can. I will be bringing all the music I know and listening, learning, and leading with love and admiration.

I will always remember to put my mask on first. Thank you for teaching me that.

My name is Josh Ford. I graduated from the Theatre Department of Sarasota Visual and Performing Arts Center in 1991. Ms. Seibert was my primary dance teacher through high school.

Recently it struck me how much I gained from my dance instruction at that time; a sense of my body and it's capability, my ability to overcome difficult challenges in general, and the camaraderie and effectiveness of a cast and team working toward the same goal.

With that in mind, I wanted to say thank you, and that I hope you are well and happy.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Josh Ford, Booker High School, 1991
