One year ago we started a ballet company...

I know it's been a while since we posted a video but this last year has been very intense. We're finally ready to share an update with you about what's going on with Azara Ballet and what we've done over the last year.

Did anyone catch that subtle music in the beginning 😉As always, thanks so much for being here. Your support on this new journey of ours means the world to us.

It's really hard for me to cry, and as soon as I saw all the elderly people and kids dancing I just lost it. Dance is so powerful, and I have avoided getting involved in it because of being on the spectrum and the possibility of not looking "right" when dancing. You have no idea how much good you are both doing.

Kate and Marty, although you both have been so missed on YouTube, what have you accomplished in just a year is amazing. The good you are putting in to the world through starting your ballet company, teaching ballet classes to adults with limited mobility and neurodivergent little humans both warms my heart and brings happy tears to my eyes. We are given gifts and talents in this lifetime and you are using yours to make this world a much more beautiful and loving place for humanity. Can’t wait to follow you both on this next leg of life’s journey.

As someone with limited mobility, your outreach program had me in tears! I’m so proud of you both!

[jenvee]

I love your outreach programs! So special to work with the neurodivergent kids! That is amazing! Love to hear that!

[redlantern]

Bravo and well done! All of your hard work is benefiting so many. I can't wait to see what's ahead in the future!

I miss your YouTube videos…
I love that you are doing the program with people with movement disabilities! I have been almost completely disabled by arthritis and fibromyalgia in the last 2 yrs (I’m 49), and I can only imagine how much your classes help those individuals - not only with movement, but mentally. Going from being an active woman to having to walk with a cane have taken a toll on me mentally and I wish I lived in a large centre where I had access to something like that.

I. Am. So. Happy. To. See. You. Sweet. Lady. Look at you growing and blooming! Love you both!

[polishedperidot]

This makes me so very happy! I'm overjoyed how things have progressed for Azara, Kate and Marty! It would be wonderful to be able to attend a performance via streaming! As an international viewer, this opens up so many more opportunities to be able to support this incredible project ❤

I cried, while I watched this video. You guys are pure-hearted... <3

[paigepenning]

From someone who has watched you for years, every video you post about ballet brings tears to my eyes. It is so cool to see how much passion, love, and joy you have for ballet. Watching you follow your dreams is so inspiring and beautiful. I am so excited to see what you have in store for the future, thank you for sharing your passions.❤

[jaymiewilson]

I am in tears 🥹 I’m so proud of you both. I am so happy I found you Kate 5 years ago and got to watch you blossom in the most authentic way and find Martin. You guys are beautiful people creating something beautiful together💛

[taylorcampbell]

As the mom of a neurodivergent child- this brought tears to my eyes.
Congrats on all the new exciting things!

[sunshinegalkw]

I’m so excited to see this new evolution of the channel.

Hi Kate and Marty. You are such an inspiration. As someone who gave up performing and songwriting over 20 years ago I have been struggling with even finding a purpose again. This makes me wonder if it is possible to finally reconnect with that part of myself and be fully authentic in my expression. So much love to you. Do you think you might consider doing some online classes for mental health/holistic support for those of us still living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief etc as a dance therapy or expressive therapy project, and for those of us who can't see you in person in other parts of the world (I am in Australia unfortunately)? I am an academic and have trained as a creative arts therapist and still on my healing journey and would love to see this.. Your yoga and dance exercise classes helped me back in the day because of your genuine compassionate energy xoxo
