Miss Monique’s treatment of my son Seth has been disgraceful. After dancing there for the last four years including private lessons( which had to be cash) she has told him he has out grown and have to part ways because he didn’t meet her expectations in the dance studio. He is a dedicated dancer as most parents would agree and has had his spirit… crushed by her. I would not recommend her dance school as a parent of a boy who has danced since he was 4 years old to anyone. To take his spot in the end of year concert of him and make it impossible for him to keep dancing there shows

There are not enough good things I can say about Monique. She has been a fantastic role model all through my life, from my very first lesson, 16 years ago. Her knowledge of ballet, dance and the body is second to none, and she absolutely brings out more than the very best in each of her cherished students. I very much treasure our ongoing friendship, and her support and guidance has been invaluable and served me so well, throughout my training, professional career, and in general throughout my life. She is a true star!

You will not find another teacher with such dedication and lifelong support. I started my training with monique over 15 years ago and to this day still cherish our time together. Monique kept my passion alive,… she continues to inspire young dancers to perservere and reach goals while maintaining safe dance technique and training.

I began private ballet lessons with Monique nearly 4 years ago, at the age of 47 after my chiropractor recommended Monique to me, as she thought ballet would help me with a persistent upper back problem. Never having been to ballet as a child, it was with some trepidation that I booked in for my first lesson. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Today I am stronger, fitter, more flexible, more confident and I have a better body shape. I now do group lessons as well and I love it. I am amazed that in those 4 years I have never had an injury. In fact back and shoulder pain is gone and
