CCM PREP Presents
April 28-29, 2023, Patricia Corbett Theater, CCM Village
The CCM Youth Ballet Companies feature talented students from ages nine through adult, performing traditional and contemporary works choreographed by CCM and CCM Prep faculty.
The CCM Prep Dance Program would like to thank our amazing faculty, administrators and Dean for giving our students such a wonderful spring semester of classes and performances. What a year it has been. We have eleven graduating seniors this year. Each one has been balancing college applications, school musicals, other extracurriculars and dancing with grace. We are thrilled to watch them show their individuality in their senior choreography and in their dancing.
We would also like to thank Dr. Ann Choe (Our CCM Fairy Godmother) for her countless hours of support to our dancers and faculty. I truly don't know how CCM would function without her. Thank you to our parents for supporting your children in their passion for dance. To Gwen Thoroughman, Bay Warren, and Jeff Corcoran we appreciate all that you have done this year to keep our program growing.
On a personal note it is exciting to watch our program rebound and watch so many little people on Saturday mornings smiling and laughing through the joy of dance. I am proud of what we do each and every day in this program. Our students are truly outstanding in everything they do. To our graduating class: we will miss you more than you know, but we can not wait to see how your future unfolds. Please come back and visit.
We can't wait to see you during the summer!
Have a safe summer,
Tricia Sundbeck

I want to dedicate this piece to my parents who first signed me up for ballet when I was little and have continued to love and support me. Also to my friends and teachers here at CCM who have made this place a second home for me, and whose friendship and support I will forever cherish.
Peter, Grace, Maeve, and Ben are students of Suzuki director Dr. Joyce Chan Grabell and perform with Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestra, Walnut Hills High School Chamber Orchestra, and Indian Hill High School Orchestra.
The Suzuki Strings program serves students from ages 3-18, with the philosophy that every child can learn to play music. Join us for our Suzuki Strings Grand Finale on May 3 at 5:30 p.m. in Patricia Corbett Theater.

I want to thank my family, who have always supported me through my dance journey, my friends, old and new. As well as the teachers and directors who have made me the dancer I am today.
Dedication by Anna Dawson
This piece is dedicated to our CCM family, my mom, and all the great memories from over the years. I have cherished my last 5 years with the company and am thankful for how far we have come as a team. I am also very thankful for my mom who has been my biggest supporter.

This piece is dedicated to our CCM Family, who made these last 15 years unforgettable, and to our families at home who supported and encouraged us our whole lives.
