I know with the economy the way it is, it was tough to keep things rolling, but my 3 girls had a blast and would definitely attend again. Hopefully next time we can bring all our groups.

Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 8:17 AM (Indy Competition) To: Judi T Judi, Ticket to Broadway was soooo much fun for Taylor and Erynn. They especially liked the bear mascot and dancing on stage with all the dancers before the awards. This dance competition, unlike some others, seemed kid-oriented such as the bear mascot, the stuffed bears, and taking the dancer's pictures back stage and everyone was so friendly. This competition is something we would like to do again next year if possible. Thanks for encouraging this competition! Looking forward to Ticket to Broadway next year! Mark and Jill K

I was very impressed with the professionalism of everyone involved and the effort that was made to make it a fun day for the girls. This was Kaitlynn's first solo and her comment to me was that she couldn't wait to get on stage to perform it again . . . to me, that says a lot!! I love that all of the performers got to take home a trophy!! It may not seem like a big deal, but to the kids, that is something they can treasure and be proud of for years to come. I would definitely recommend participating again next year and hope that "Ticket to Broadway" chooses to return to Indy!! Thanks, Stacey

Angelique Wxxx Ticket to Broadway We attended your competition in Baltimore this past weekend and wanted to write and tell you how much fun our dancers had. You had plenty of staff on hand who were easily identifiable, relaxed, ready to lend a hand, or answer questions. Our parents commented on the great interaction the staff had with the dancers making the whole event a wonderful experience for the performers and their families. We look forward to next year's convention and competition. Thank you. Angelique W, Director

cameeX@xxxxxx.com Dear Ticket to Broadway, I just wanted to write a testimonial to your competition and that your logo is so accurate with being the most friendly. My daughter has been competing for years at different competitions and as a matter of fact we were just at one this past weekend and it was absolutely horrible. They did not have that caring touch at all like TTB...I was very disappointed. It just made me realize how special your competition is and how you treat the dancers, that each and every one of them is special. Cudos to you and everyone at TTB. It is a wonderful competition in every fashion. Camee X.

The kids never felt so challenged with the scoring system, new judges, and caliber of dancing at the Glasgow event. I know that we will be back for years to come as it has become a longstanding tradition for the dancers to compete with you all. We feel as if we are a part of the Ticket to Broadway family, and are very thankful to compete at such a family oriented competition. Sincerely- Jessica W (Director) |

My husband and I enjoy the warm family friendly atmosphere that your provide with your competitions and your National was no different. My daughter Alexandra loved dancing on your big professional stage and my younger daughter Alyssa spent a good part of the day building her bear at the teddy bear station. I always stress to Alexandra that going to a competition is not about winning the trophy but about "doing your personal best" and just having a good time with your friends. That's why we love your competition, because you support that philosophy completely with all the extras you do for the children. We look forward to seeing you in 2008! Love, Lynora Lxxxxx |

From: "Colleen Rxxxxx" <cmrsaycheez@xxxxx.com> To: <info@tickettobroadway.com> Subject: Ticket To Broadway Nationals 2007 Date: Saturday, July 21, 2007 1:47 PM Dear Karen & Ed, I just wanted to send along our thanks for a great Nationals experience. Even though we were a very small group, the girls did great and we all had a lot of fun. Baltimore is an excellent choice for a location to have your Nationals. There is so much to do. We literally ran out of time. The girls really enjoyed their "Circle Of Stars" experience and their workshops. One of the things we liked best about the Circle Of Stars performance was that the dancers got to do a variety of dance styles. It wasn't just jazz like it is at a number of other National competitions. It was nice because if your strength is lyrical, tap or hip hop you can get a chance to dance in your favorite style. The workshops were great. Emily really enjoyed the Video Jazz one. We also liked the fact that the workshops were free. We had a very long day that first day of competition. Thank you for letting Emily compete in the last chance regional. It was a long day but very worth it. Your nationals is very well run and fun for the dancers. Ticket To Broadway has a very nice family atmosphere. You don't feel like a number. Your staff was great, professional, approachable and extremely helpful. Thank you for everything. Hopefully we will be able to attend your Nationals again some time in the future. Warmest Regards, Colleen Rxxx |

We were only there for Tuesday morning but it was so well ran and the atmosphere was very warm and friendly. The director from the new studio where we will be attending was with us and was very pleased. We are very excited to see where your workshops in Maryland and Pennsylvania will be to see if it will be close enough to take the girls to. Hope to see you next year at regional competition with a lot more dancers than just Shanna in attendance. Thanks Again! Annette Mxxxx |
