On a field of ballet dreams, New Orleans kids play to win
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Put me in coach!

That’s what the kids say at Young Audiences Charter School, the Lawrence D. Crocker campus.

The coach Eddy Villalita.

WGNO Good Morning New Orleans features reporter Bill Wood wants to introduce you.

Coach Eddy’s team trains hard.

They work to win on their field of dreams.

This is a team of ballet dancers.

It used to be an after school club but now, it’s a real class like algebra and history.

“When I’m dancing, my mind is focusing on the steps so it’s already figured put in my head,” said is 9-year-old, 4th grader Alice Simmons.

When asked what is Coach Eddy looking for?

“To be able to translate the body movement and the motions and communicate with the audience because every type of form of dance is actually a way to communicate.”
