What our students have said:

“I was really excited after today’s class because I can see lots of progress.  I think I have only been with you for a couple of months, but I see huge improvement in my balance, posture, foot strength and spins.  But what I noticed is that the length of time that I can hold the leg up has dramatically improved.  You probably noted this too.   I have been practicing the pirouette prep and spins and have been seeing improvement.  At this rate, I may achieve my dream of doing a pirouette!  However, once that happens, there will be new dreams:  a double pirouette, or a fouette?
 
Thanks for being such a great teacher! :)” ~ Saroja
 
“Thank you so much for your patience and encouragement!!! I appreciate it so much <3” ~ Henrietta
