Our Studio Mascots
ABS is an animal friendly studio and often times you will find various Mascots in attendance at class.
Vladimir
Vladimir is the newest addition to our Mascot list. No he is not a replacement for Sydney as Sydney is un-replaceable...but Vladamir is helping me overcome the loss of Sydney.
He is a rescue bird..we think about 10yrs old..and is a male Umbrella Cockatoo. When he came to us he did not speak, but has since learned a few words/phrases.... "You got it", "ok", and "I love you".
Vladimir hasn't been around many people and probably lived his life mostly in a cage, but he is starting to learn his social skills--at the studio and on our many outings (with the help of Baylea).
He apparently was a hand fed baby, is very tame and loves to be petted...he also loves to pick (pick spots that don't belong on you.....like moles, freckles and bruises )Its a grooming activity natural to these type of cockatoos, We are working on changing this behavior.

Sydney
Dec 3, 1987 - Nov 18, 2017
Sadly we lost Sydney to a reputed aortic aneurysm on Nov 18th
Our original Studio Mascot is Sydney--a lovely Citron Cockatoo owned by Kadayif. Sydney has been a "teaching bird" since the studio opened.
With a vocabulary of well over 70 words and phrases, he often greets new dancers with "hello", "what ja' doing", and his name "Sydney Sinquefield"
Although he is fluent in many of the choreographies, the students have learned that he often mixes up the order of the movements a bit--whether by mistake or on purpose is unknown, but his laughter when Kadayif corrects the students leads some to believe he does it for his on enjoyment.......

Baylea
Baylea is our newest Mascot--a fawn Great Dane, she came to us at 7wk, purchased by Kadayif's husband Steve to fill the void left by Bronya.....to say she is spoiled by all the love and attention she gets from the dancers and the Acting Studio Kids (who practice in our studio sometimes) is an understatement.
Expect to see Baylea at most classes as she is in training to be a therapy dog.
