To the City of Miami Commissioner Ken Russell:

I,                                              ( mother/ father/ guardian) of                                          (student and/or  resident of Coconut Grove ) attest to the following statement of support so our children can have access to high quality community based Performing Arts after school programs.

Our children attend a school in the area of Coconut Grove and are passionate about circus arts at LADD, but the current location makes a long and stressful commute and children can’t attend as much as they wish or participate at all.

Circus Arts are more than just sports but a combination of performing arts and physical activity.  Les Ailes du Desir provides them with a complete array of circus and related disciplines: gymnastic, fitness and acrobatics, aerial such as silks, lyra, hoop, trapeze.

Children gain self-esteem, confidence and strength, learning something completely unique with the world’s most talented Circus professionals. They progressively build skills while learning discipline and persistence and bond with other children.

They are many of their friends and classmates who would like to join them in this unique and spectacular journey.

We kindly request that the City of Miami assign a space for circus arts disciplines in the Coconut Grove area to benefit our children and the entire community.
