CYO Refugee Children

On November 12th, Light of the World Company, Trainee’s, and Youth Ballet had the privilege of performing for the children at the CYO Refugee center. CYO is a refugee resettlement program, which provides a secure, supportive environment for children and teens. It was such a blessing to perform our Christmas repertoire for these sweet children. At the end we were able to interact with the children by showing them how to do different ballet steps. We also played a few games with them. Miss Ashley would play fun music and we would all jump and dance around. Then when she stopped the music, we would have to freeze and be as still as possible. Then we switched it around to when the music was off, we jumped and danced around and when the music was on, we stopped and froze. We even added in slow motion movements and fast sprints from one side of the stage to the other. Needless to say, we all enjoyed spending time with these children. The Lord opened the door for us to connect with these kids. We are look forward to performing for them again in the future! God bless! -Kristie
