On the four-month anniversary of the Robb Elementary shooting, the Joffrey School of Ballet visited Uvalde to teach dance classes and help spread joy.
The baby grand piano’s ballad married with the sound of laughter to drive out some of the sadness of the solemn anniversary.
“You enjoy it but at the same time, it...the emotions still remain but it’s...thank you, thank you. The music, the choreography, it was beautiful so thank you,” Marcela Cabralez, whose daughter took part in the class, said. The El Progreso Library transformed into a ballet studio so students from the Joffrey Ballet School could help teach the children of Uvalde.
“I do ballet so it was really cool to see like super advanced ballet,” Natalie Goggans, a 12-year-old dancer from Uvalde, said.“10 years ago I brought this book to Sandy Hook and I did this program with Sandy Hook so when this atrocity happened here, it just seemed like the logical thing,” Matos said.
The dancers came from three states. On Friday, they visited several Uvalde CISD schools teaching similar classes.“I know that everyone is really broken from what happened but just to see as she said, like the resilience from the event and how they’ve like kept it positive and like have turned a negative situation and tried to like unite as a community, it’s like really inspiring,” Long said.She hopes the joy and support they brought can help the kids get through some of the hard times ahead.
