Miss Michelle’s Center for the Performing Arts

We LOVE Miss Michelle’s! I should preface my review by saying that a 5 star review doesn’t come easy from me, but I’d give this studio 10 stars if I could.
My daughter had taken dance for a number of years at various studios in the area. A different studio every year actually. None had been a very positive experience, so unfortunately she decided to stop taking dance. After taking 4 years off, she wanted to give it another try. I did my research on every dance school within a 20 mile radius. I spoke to other parents, watched dance classes, and met with the teachers. Once I met Miss Michelle, and my daughter tried one of her classes, we knew that we had finally found the perfect fit!
The instruction is top notch. The teachers are extremely patient and encouraging, and the parents and other students are very welcoming and positive toward each other. (I can assure you that it definitely is not like that everywhere you go). You can absolutely count on the fact that your child will be taught excellent dance technique, and will have fun doing it. I’ve seen incidents at other studios where dancers have been unnecessarily injured due to being pushed too hard beyond what they were ready for. I can assure you that does not happen here. Miss Michelle treats her students as if they were her own, and safety is a top priority here.
Besides the Nutcracker and two Spring productions (all fabulous I might add), Miss Michelle’s also gives the students an opportunity to be involved in other community events as well. Last year the girls volunteered their time to bring the Nutcracker production to the residents of two elderly housing facilities. They also marched in local parades, and put on shows at libraries and elementary schools. This year they are putting together a trip for the students to dance at Disney!
I obviously feel very fortunate to have found this studio. If you’re looking for a place to bring your child, this is it!

My daughter has attended Miss Michelle’s Performing Art Center since she was 2 years old, and I can’t say enough about the positive experience we’ve had at her studio. I was looking for a dance class where my daughter would have fun but also learn, and I am so impressed with the level of ballet and tap my daughter has mastered at 6 years old. Miss Michelle is wonderful with all the different age groups and classes are a good blend of discipline and silliness. She offers a range of dance classes, jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop and tumbling and even adult classes too. She has created a warm and inviting environment for all her students, and you can tell how much fun the girls are having. My daughter is always excited to attend class and even participated in the Nutcracker workshop this year, which is fantastic! Her shows are so entertaining. We will continue dancing with Miss Michelle and I strongly recommend her school, for any age.
