Central Wisconsin School of Ballet Dancers Meet with American Ballet Theatre’s
Stella Abrera & James Whiteside, 2019

“The purpose of arts education is not necessarily to create more professional dancers or artists. It’s to create more complete human beings who are critical thinkers, who have curious minds, who can lead productive lives. ”
~ Kelly Pollock

“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy
in creative expression and knowledge.”
~ Albert Einstein

“It has been nearly 25 years since I last danced with the CWSB, but people still ask me if I practice ballet. I stand with my feet turned out; I hold my head high; I walk with a sense of confidence and control. Mostly, I have an irrestible desire to move and to dance. I attribute this to ten years of training with Waltraud — someone so full of love for the art and who expected us to perform at our absolute best. Waltraud and the school were like a second home to me. I am forever grateful.
~ Aimee Witteman

“Central Wisconsin School of Ballet was an important part of my life growing up. I loved being at the studio, at the ballet barre, with Madame Karkar teaching and sharing her knowledge of the art form with us … CWSB has left me with lifelong friends as well as skills and confidence that have
allowed me to follow my dreams …”
~ Colleen Coy
