What Kids Are Saying

  • “I like it here. Everyone is happy and nice and no one is fake. There’s no one sitting out injured, and that’s good. At my old studio everyone had shin splints really bad, or broken ankles or stuff like that. It’s really nice not to have to worry about that anymore.” B Level Student

  • I didn’t want to take the Acting Class. I hate talking in front of people. But the class was actually fun and I learned a lot of different things that made talking in front of other people easier. Participating in class wasn’t scary. I was scared to take the class, but now I’m really glad that I did.

  • Our teacher doesn’t get angry if we get a step wrong, she works with us until we get it right. She cares why it’s wrong. If something physical is the reason, she’ll work hard to help you fix it, instead of just saying you’re lazy or to yell at you.” Academy Level Student*

  • “The kids at the other ballet school I went to were really mean. They made fun of me, and the teachers didn’t do anything. And the teachers yell at you all the time. No one does that here. Plus the dancers at my old school weren’t even that good. We never got to do real Swan Lake or Coppelia there. “ Academy Level Student

  • “Here, the teachers care about you, and make you stop if your muscles are even just tight. They don’t wait till you get injured to do something, that’s what injury prevention means. It means they keep you from getting hurt in the first place. “ A Level Student
