Meet Addison, the dancer!

11/6/2019

Comments

 
Addison's three favorite things are dancing, singing, and showing anyone who will watch how much she loves dancing and singing! We found the perfect mentors for her -- two musical theatre students at the University of Pittsburgh. Addison couldn't wait to meet her new friends,  Julia and Juliana. She was excited to have a new audience to show off her moves to and who whooped and cheered her on at every turn. 

The fun didn't stop after Addison ran out of moves! These new friends spent the Saturday afternoon coloring, telling stories, signing autographs, and "oooing and awwwing" at Addison's Halloween costume. Everyone left with smiles on their faces and full hearts, looking forward to the next time they get to meet.

#FriendshipFridayFlashback - Miss Isabella, Ballerina Extraordinaire

8/3/2018

Comments

 
This week's #FriendshipFriday is brought to you by Miss Isabella, ballerina extraordinaire! Isabella was one of our 2017 Night of Inspiration award winners!  A sweet, energetic,  future ballerina, she was matched with Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre performer, Patsy Maxim. Patsy and Isabella’s adventures include trips to the Pittsburgh Ballet, and many visits at the hospital playing games, doing puzzles, dancing, and having fun! Having Pasty gave Isabella something to look forward to at the hospital during treatment. We hope you can make it to this year’s Night of Inspiration to find out who will receive the 2018 Inspiration Awards!

Meet Isabella The Ballerina!

Meet one of our Night of Inspiration Awardee's - Isabella - a sweet, energetic, future ballerina! She absolutely loves dancing, so we thought that she and Patsy, a local ballet teacher, would make the perfect pair!  

​For their first adventure, Patsy and Isabella visited behind the scenes at the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre’s production of Alice and Wonderland. Isabella could hardly contain her excitement as they toured backstage, and she was equally thrilled to watch the performance!

​Patsy visits Isabella whenever she comes to Children’s for treatment. The two ballerinas spend their visits in the playroom, doing puzzles, playing make believe, and dancing! Isabella has so much excitement when Patsy visits, it’s clear that it is the best part about her time in the hospital!
