"My people were overwhelmed by the beauty. It was so heartwarming to watch."

"It's more than the performance. It's the fact that you all care so much."

"It's incredible how you get everyone moving and engaged."

I watched every single resident's face change - soften - become young and happy again."

"Whatever Ballet Mobile does is always the best."

"You're everything I heard you were ... and so much more."

"I can't believe you give every staff member a flower, too. You really are something.
We all benefit from your house calls."

"This means the world to my people. They'll talk about it for weeks and weeks. And they really treasure their flowers. It's as if they can re-live today through those flowers."

"Our residents listen to a great deal of music, but rarely if ever get to see dancing. It was wonderful to see their eyes light up today."

"It is always such a pleasure when you visit.

You raise us all up."

"My people may not talk out loud, but they talk with their eyes and hearts. And their eyes and hearts say how much they love you."

of their year."
