I’m enjoying ballet and it is so good for my body and mind.  It is a challenge for me but I’m up to it and it will only make me stronger.  Thank you for giving this class and being such a wonderful teacher.

I was so nervous about coming, but I left today with so much joy in my soul!! I’m so excited! You did an absolute amazing job!!  Thank you for sharing your joy and passion with all of us.

I do enjoy your class and my body feels great afterwards,

Just wrapped up my second ‘Ageless Ballet’ class with Spirit/Joy Dance! I am basically starting over learning ballet at 51 years old, but it is so much fun!

I have more confidence in myself and my abilities.  I enjoy being in the class with women of different ages. I was a little scared to sign up for this class because of my age, but when I came the first day I was very comfortable and also happy I made the decision.

Thank you for hosting such a welcoming and open class.

So much fun energy.

Always an honor to be part of your classes. it brings me back to the beautiful nostalgia and magic that only dance can bring.

This feels like magic. I am so happy to be here.

Thank you for a great class. Brusshing up on the beginning concepts of ballet is helping me rediscover how to dance correctly and why I love it!

Thank you for hosting such a peaceful and helpful class! I look forward to growing with the class these next few weeks!
