What can be more uplifting than seeing someone from your community thriving, confident and living their dream while demonstrating to you that anything is possible?
Ricky Whitfield did that and more for
fellow Peninsula Bridge alum Korinne Nickings, current Peninsula Bridge
student James Bryant-Smith and our entire audience at our 7th Annual
Benefit Breakfast, leading the trio in a professional and inspiring
performance.
Ricky grew up in East Palo Alto and attended Bridge beginning in 1996
as a middle school student. Later he became a Teacher's Assistant in
the program while attending Sacred Heart Prep. "Peninsula Bridge
pushed me to do more than just the minimum. I realized early on I
could do so much more." Not only did he graduate from the University
of the Arts in Pennsylvania, but he has gone on to tour both nationally
and internationally as a performer, choreographer, performance
Director and Assistant Director.
Ricky was thrilled to have been able to be part of the 2010 Breakfast. "The experience was truly a gift of joy, thank you Bridge, for your continued support." Those in audience felt the magic of the performance and we could not be more proud. We thank Ricky and all of our alumni for helping us to reflect on 20 years of dreams.
Ricky currently resides in NYC and is working as the rehearsal assistant for the show "Le Cirque Bijou" for Norwegian Cruise Lines, and as a show manager for the 2011 StepUp2Dance National Dance Competition.
