Quotes About NAYB

“I cannot emphasize enough how much I admire and enthusiastically recommend Elizabeth Fernandez at both personal and professional levels. Her attention to detail is stunning. She provides such rich contexts…from costumes and props to historical background, so that students might “enter” the story they tell. I have no doubt that Elizabeth will take on any challenge, and deliver more than can be dreamed or imagined."

Susan Grossman Nieves
Director of The Dalton After School

“I have seen Elizabeth’s work with children and I have been impressed and in awe of her skills. She possesses a special and sincere rapport with them that is rare in a person so young. She has the heart of a child and a trusted role model.”

Rosalie Joseph
ABC Vice President Primetime Casting, E.C. Battery Park City Resident

“Elizabeth utilizes original songs to teach ballet in a delightful style that captures the attention and imagination of children of all ages.”
