" Thank you so so so so much for offering virtual classes! It was so sweet to see all of the dancers on the screen and gives us something to look forward to and some structure for this crazy time. " ~Parent of a Pre-Ballet dancer
" I just wanted to say a quick thanks for giving the girls such a bright spot of positive energy during this difficult time. I know it's not easy to motivate these young dancers through a computer screen, but you manage to keep them excited and working hard through your entire class. My daughter has struggled a bit this past week, but after dance today, she said "Mom, I was really grumpy when I started to dance, but by the end of class, I felt happy." So thank you for all you do for our kids and the whole community. We are very grateful and are looking forward to seeing you again soon! " ~ Parent of a Pre-Ballet II dancer
" We realize that this is a very challenging and an unusual situation but I wanted to thank you so much for doing virtual classes. She had so much fun today and it gave me 45 minutes too (priceless). " ~Parent of a Pre-Ballet dancer
" When my daughter woke up today she said "I can't wait for ballet today!" .....it was her first thought. Thank you and your team and Miss Caitlyn so very much for your kindness and wonderful support of the dance classes! This is definitely the highlight of her week and she's thrilled to see you all via screen time. Keeping your dance classes going during these tricky times for kids is truly a saving grace for them.

" Wanted to send a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed Emily’s virtual Pre-Ballet class this morning. This situation is really challenging - Emily did a great job engaging a 4 year old in a very different way (there were smiles for days). " ~Parent of Pre-Ballet dancer
" I just wanted to send a quick note to tell you how wonderful the morning was! Our kiddos haven't been out of the house since Wednesday. This was such a joyful way for them to reconnect with some normalcy, see their friends and you, get some exercise, and HAVE FUN. It was so sweet to see--and quite sobering too. It is such a strange time. Thank you for being such a ray of sunshine and an example of what it means to be in this together! " ~Parent of Pre-Ballet & Ballet I dancer
" We wanted to send along our gratitude for all of your efforts to maintain continuity in the kids' routines, and in such a joyful way. We know you have plenty of experience conducting virtual classes, but the speed with which you adapted the children's studio class to the online format, and the skillful way in which you used the technology's assets while minimizing its limitations, are really remarkable. We feel so fortunate to have our daughters participating in your classes this year, especially during this period of colossal disruption! " ~Parent of a Pre-Ballet & 7-10 year old ballet/jazz dancer
