"I grew up with dance and took many classes and taught for a
while both modeling classes and dance, so I know the work and devotion dance
involves. I wish to tell you that your recital was the absolute best I have
ever seen. Congrats! I noticed how all your students smile and work very hard
always using arm movements. I am quite impressed. The choreography was
fabulous. I wish my 15 yr old daughter had stayed in dance. If I were closer to
you, I would make her get back into it. Thanks and keep up the good work."
"[The teacher] was just great with the girls and had such a positive
impact....[My daughter] gained a sense of self-esteem, a sense of pride and
accomplishment, and sense of teamwork and she made some good friends along the
way as well (I did too for that matter)."
"I want you to know that I appreciate the way you run your competition program.
From what I have seen, it is such an uplifting experience for the girls. You
encourage a strong work ethic and strive, as you should, to have On Your Toes
represented in the best possible light, but it is never a pressure situation."
"I appreciate the fact that you value your dancers' education and value the
other activities your dancers may be involved in."
"...as a parent and as a teacher, I sincerely applaud your attitude."
"I would like to thank you and your other teachers for choreographing
appropriate tasteful dances with appropriate tasteful costumes. My husband and
I appreciate that."
"Please know that your efforts are appreciated. As you know, there are many
dance studios in the St. Louis area--I am just glad we found the best one for
our daughter."
