Aleta Thompson (Haggerston School)
Wednesday 17 June 2009
ALETA has performed at London's world famous Sadler's Wells and has taken part in shows at the Jacksons Lane and Union Chapel Theatres.
Aleta loves:
'Building a rapport with the students and being a mentor rather than just a teacher – I love using dance to bridge the gap between adults and students. It's great to see the end result, seeing fantatstic improvements in the young people I work with and watching them continue to make positive changes in their lives.
'Dance provides students with an outlet and a voice - a way to express themselves. The creativeness found in dance increases confidence and focus, life skills young people can apply to any area of their lives. Apart from dance being fun, Greenhouse provides students with amazing opportunities, like performing at prestigious venues like Sadlers Wells and The Royal Albert Hall.'
