"I have been attending classes at Danceartists Ballet Academy for more than a decade and continue to be so impressed by their professionalism

and their dedication to each student who comes to them. Every child gets individualized instruction and encouragement.

Regardless of talent or aim, each child gets the same attention and the same pristine ballet education.

The students are so lucky to be taught by the director- professional ballerina, choreographer, and RAD solo seal recipient, Joanna Duncan.

Her vast experience provides so much enrichment.There are many opportunities each year for the students to participate

in professional productions on stage and at different events.There are even opportunities throughout the year for students to create choreography.

This is a wonderful preparation for the students who wish to be professional dancers and it has been a great joy watching those students

fulfill their dreams upon graduation, thanks to the education from Danceartists.
