Petit Allongé Bella Friends is a support group formed by sponsors and supporters
who believe in the artistic and educational mission of our school.
This community plays an important role in helping sustain our activities
including performances, outreach programs, and educational initiatives for
young artists in New York City.
Their support allows us to continue providing meaningful opportunities both on and
off the stage.
We are grateful for the support of Dr. Jerry Ashrafi, a pediatric dentist based on
the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
His practice is dedicated to providing gentle and attentive care for children,
helping them feel comfortable and confident during their dental visits.
As part of this collaboration, he kindly provides small dental wellness gifts for
children participating in our classes and events.
