“I've taken quite a few ballet classes in my time and can say Amy's are unique in the best way. Her barre and floor combinations are always very creative and thoughtful, which keeps things fun and interesting. Because Amy's always incorporating new ideas and movements into her classes, her students become very well-rounded technique-wise as well. I'd highly recommend her ballet classes to dancers of all ages and levels."
