“Diane is a detail-oriented, hard-working, extraordinarily committed and highly creative thinker. Her problem solving skills are such that I've personally seen her sway government officials to create provisions, if not policies, where previously none had existed. As an entrepreneur, her sucess can be measured by her having, on her own initiative, taken a community ballet program with next-to-zero attendance and within five years building it into the largest program of its kind in the entire GTA, today with over 300 participants. She is a born leader who easily corrals volunteers to be part of her creative, not-for-profit, team. She works with children, which in itself is a challenge, and is able to get them to perform to standards worthy of the National Ballet School of Canada where, not coincidentally, she has placed at least a dozen children in the Young Assosiates program, all of them personally trained by her through the City of Toronto. I am a professional dance critic, and I personally have hired Diane to coach my own daughter for several years running. I am happy to reccommend her services.
