Monique combines the amazing talents of internationally famous Ballet Dancer Aaron Smyth, professional dancers, Anna Lee Rohovec and Jack Stewart and local dancers of all ages, some who have been studying under her for over 20 years. She has brought the performances up another level by including live music with Grammy award winning music director Jorge Martinez-Rios. I am sure you will not experience shows of this caliper anywhere else in the area.

My daughter was enrolled at this ballet studio for nearly four years. We invested thousands of…read moredollars in tuition and performance tickets each year, and I volunteered hundreds of hours backstage--organizing the younger dancers, making last-minute costume repairs, and assisting with check-ins. I got along well with the backstage crew and never received a single complaint from any of them. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this studio due to the inconsistent and unprofessional leadership of owner Monique Foster and backstage manager Courtney. They show clear favoritism toward certain students while applying rules unevenly and aggressively toward others, creating an environment that was often unfair and hostile, especially for younger dancers. During our final production, my daughter was repeatedly singled out by Courtney with severe, aggressive reprimands over minor issues. I stayed close to my daughter to support and protect her backstage. Near the end, Courtney called me out in front of several other moms and gave an exaggerated account of an interaction she claimed she had with my daughter that day. I pointed out that both my daughter and Courtney's own daughter were behaving typically for their age--recounting the previous evening when I had had to ask her daughter multiple times to stop clapping and blocking the walkway. Monique intervened, became confrontational, and threatened to have me removed from "her" theater for "talking back." She then claimed she had received multiple complaints about me "doing things wrong," but when I asked for specific examples, she could provide none. She also didn't appear to know my name, which further undermined her accusations. The small amount of positive support we experienced in our first year at this studio faded over time. Interactions with Monique became increasingly harsh and unpredictable. My daughter, who once loved ballet, began dreading classes and frequently came home in tears. We've heard similar experiences from many other current and former families. While there are talented dancers and some wonderful people associated with the studio, the lack of consistent, fair, and age-appropriate guidance from the leadership makes this a poor choice for families seeking a supportive and safe environment for their children. We left after almost four years and are now much happier at a different studio.

The core and arm strength required is intense! Not to mention the discomfort of the hammock in general is something that requires some getting used to.. We went through the basic "neutral" position, then lead into an inversion, starfish, inverted pigeon, and flying kick (hope i got the terms right, lol) I was pretty excited that I was able to hit them all on the first try! Ana was a great instructor and now I cant wait to go back to try some of the other classes! Silks, pole dancing, lyra...
