    Here is what dancers shared one year after completing the YHD Wellness Workshop at Orange County School of the Arts Ballet Conservatory. 

    “I learned I need to eat more for breakfast.” 
    ~ Maddie 7th Grader 
     
    “I loved getting to learn so many things at Orange County School of the Arts with you! Thank you so much! Learning how important fats and carbs were to a dancer was very helpful!
    .
    Prior to the workshop I mainly relied on protein to give me energy and after changing those thoughts I had much more strength and energy while dancing! Also, I am less sore! So cool!”
    ~ Sierra 7th Grader

    “I learned I need to eat a lot more food, especially protein.”
    ~ Henry 8th Grade Ballet Dancer

    “Thank you so much for everything Ms. Genevieve...Thank you so much for the nutrition part of your workshop, it impacted so many of us, especially me!!”
