My children's ballet company - Pages To Pirouettes - performed at the Widener Memorial School for the handicapped. This is starting to be a yearly gig - pure charity. We are not paid for this one. But they children and the staff love us. We get paid more in appreciation here than we ever do in money at our normal jobs.
After the show - we all did some ballet together (with the arms only). I became aware of beautiful music played in the background and looked around to see one of the students playing the piano so beautifully that it sounded like a concert hall. Please see this website for a picture of him - http://www.pages-to-pirouettes.com/Widener2008/Widener2008_1.html
I love this school, its principle, the music teacher, and all of its kids.

I attended the performance given at Widener Memorial School and it was wonderful. The students and staff thoroughly enjoyed the play and were overjoyed to be able to participate with the dancer afterwards. I know that they are looking forward to your visit next year.
Thank you so much for your kind words. The feeling is mutual. I got a tremendous feeling of connection with the audience at Widener and much joy interaacting with with the children afterwords (and tell that pianist he is terrific)!
