A blind singer is taking ballet to help her on the stage. It is hard for her, but she continues on enjoying the challenge. She of course needed private lessons, and the teaching method is very different, her teachers have to move her to the correct positions, even 1st position is a bit of a challenge. So it’s different but 40 year old Elizabeth Whitaker is trying hard, and picks things up quickly. Her teacher has studied at Shuffles and Ballet II, (Where I go!) under Miss Tracy, and Miss Jana, (Two of my teachers last year!!!) and at Ballet Arkansas, (It’s their Nutcracker I’m in!) with Kirt and Linda Hathaway. Mala, her teacher also has a University of Oklahoma degree in ballet performance. All this should help her on stage, may she reach her goal.
