The little kids are adorable. I know how unpredictable they are. Every day for us right now seems to be a "journal" moment to record for laughs in the future. I had tears streaming down my face I was laughing so hard and so proud at the same time. The older girls are so lovely and talented. I look at them and think that it must seem like just yesterday to their parents when they were shaking maracas and dancing to Vamos. They are also very inspiring and sweet to the younger girls they lead. I was so impressed with the maturity, kindness and poise Miss Alyssa and Miss Harley have already. When you entrust your little ones to older girls, you hope and pray that they will be good role models and take their position seriously. Alyssa and Harley especially were blessings in that respect this year. It's evident that dance at your studio (and the hard work of their parents, of course) is teaching them many important things beyond the basic skills.

I never knew how much my children would gain from dance class…Not only are theydoing better in school but they are more confident,focused and respectful of others and the best part, they can’t wait to go to class!.

Congrats! Ms.Debbie.... You should be a very proud teacher. What a great group of dancers you have constructed! As always "Thank you for the great heart you have for these kids!" I know you aren't told enough what a wonderful job you do!! Love, Ms. Barb

Hello, I just wanted to pass on to you that Morgan did such a wonderful job at her school Talent Show Thursday night. She got many compliments on her dancing. We were very proud of her. Thank you for being such a great teacher and making it fun for her. I just thought you should know. Haley Kopp



Since we are new to the world of dance (and anything "organized" for that matter) we appreciate your help navigating the waters so to speak. We chose your studio because of many things, but one of the main things for me was that you are so helpful and kind. Thank you for that. We look forward to working with you as Mariel begins to explore the bigger world. Who knows? Ballet may turn out to be the passion in her heart! I am just grateful that she can have the opportunity...I was never able to take lessons at her age because my mom was single and went to school at night after working full time. So, Mariel comes to your studio after having made the decision herself to choose Ballet over soccer. Secretly, I'm very proud of her for that...after all, she looks so cute in her leotard and tights!! :) Thank you again, Melanie Deibert

I want to thank everyone at the studio for giving Sofie such a wonderful year!! She looked forward each week to coming into dance and can't wait to get started in the fall!!!

Thanks!!! Jon-Anne Fisher

Ps.. Debbie, we were really impressed w/ your choreography at the recital this year. Great job. We were proud to be a part of Cricket's

Thank You Ms, Debbie for all you do for my girls. You have taught them an incredible thing! Dance, poise, grace. You have helped make them the young ladies they are today. I am very grateful! I am grateful for the friendship that we have together!

Thank you for all you and your dance company do. Kathryn is really having a good time. Thank you also for letting us watch them yesterday. My Mom (Kathryn's Grammy) was very impressed! Sincerely, Jennifer Passarelli

Ms. Debbie, Hi :-) I just wanted to tell you that I had my first ballet class yesterday and I love it. It's really easy stuff, but it felt so good to dance and work hard at it again. It's going to be a really good review. My professor pulled me aside after class and said she can tell I've had really good training. She asked where I took class at home. Then she asked me to try out for her dance group. I was going to do that anyway. Try outs are on wed. I'm really excited! So, thank you for all the time you put into teaching me. I wouldn't be able to dance like this if it weren't for your persistent attention to technique :-) Thank you again. Have a good day! Aimee
