knows no boundaries, no socioeconomic statuses — it only seeks a
platform. Arts are not extracurricular activities, secondary to the
pressing needs of shelter, food and education. When taught well, they
are the underpinning of cognitive growth and self-esteem and the myriad
benefits that come with them. Every child deserves access to the
transformative power of the arts.
Steven Melendez, the artistic director of New York Theatre Ballet. In a moving personal essay for CNN, Melendez describes his journey from growing up in homeless shelters in New York City to dancing on some of the world's biggest stages. Melendez is also the subject of the new documentary film “LIFT."

Thanks for another interesting blog.
Putting a border around the edges of this pieces helps draw the eye inward. Just great! :-)
