Introduction: Our work stands apart from others because we are professionals that learned how to survive over 30 years in a business where dancers are usually done after 10-15 years. We know not only how to train the technique but also how to apply it in the performance arena. Who would you rather have perform your heart operation, someone who learned how in school, or someone in the field with a lifetime of success? What I like most about my job is seeing the look on students face when they have a breakthrough. That's even more exciting than seeing them perform.

FAQs

How did you get started doing this type of work?
James- I was in college, a music major that needed 2 units to fill out my curriculum. Someone said take a beginning ballet class. I tried it, liked it and continued till I became professional. Kathy was 9 years old and somewhat clumsy so her mother enrolled her in ballet to gain some poise. She was clumsy because she was extremely limber without muscle control. She immediately fell in love with ballet and said that's what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. Well, we altered it along the way but that's pretty much what she has done.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
The ability to teach a child doesn't mean the child is going to learn. A lot of it is chemistry and peer pressure. If the child likes and/or is willing to listen to the instructor and has a competitive nature, the battle is already won till that child is the leader. So the parent needs to be honest with the child and make sure that this something that the child wants to do, not what the parent wants the child to do, other wise it becomes a baby sitting service instead of a dance class.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Show business is one of the greatest businesses in the world. It's your job to make people happy, laugh, forget about their troubles, move them to tears of joy. When you can make an audience laugh, cry, and cheer in one performance, you have arrived!
