Youth Elite Program 2018
Teacher: Ma Yu
Yue Qi, age 10, started her ballet training with CBA in 2015, and is currently part of the Youth Elite Program.
“I am surprised to see Yue Qi’s determination to chase after her dream and am also very touched by her grit and perseverance not to get beaten by failures. She is now more confident of herself knowing that she can make things happen just by working really hard.”
– Yue Qi’s mom
“The lessons at CBA are fun. I can meet and make friends who love ballet as much as me. Ballet helps me forget about the stress of my school work and I am most carefree when I am dancing.”
– Yue Qi
“I have a dream for the future. It is to be a professional ballet dancer, and the thought of being able to go onstage to receive a medal makes me feel proud of myself. This motivates me to continue training even when it is so hard. I have never thought of stopping because I love what I am doing.”
– Yue Qi
“She was the one who requested for the private lessons and expressed her dream to be able to dance a solo part. I gave in to see how much effort and sacrifice (in terms of personal time) she is willing to put in so that I will allow her to continue her intensive training. It was actually a good bribe for her to also strive to do well in school. “
– Yue Qi’s mom
“Ms Xia and Ms Ma will do a lot of corrections on my dance moves so that I can improve. I would send videos of my dance to Ms Ma every night and she would take time to see and comment on the mistakes that I made so that I can work on those areas.”
– Yue Qi
“All the teachers in the school are very professional and I can trust them wholeheartedly to know what they are doing to develop my girl to her greatest potential.”
– Yue Qi’s mom
