Heather Curtiss

" I have worked with the owners of this company for several years and have always been impressed with their professionalism and dedication to the program. I am happy to have found a dance conservatory that emphasizes a healthy body and mind, with a positive personalized experience for each dancer. The focus is clearly to develop professional dancers with all the skills necessary to navigate a challenging field, including a priority on classical ballet technique and injury prevention, along with career skills to advocate for themselves in the future. The comprehensive focus for a young dancer is much appreciated! "
