My daughter has had the immense fortune of studying under ballet teacher, April and the impact has been truly phenomenal. She brings an extraordinary ability to teach ballet at all levels, from beginner to advanced. She will meet your student where they are and thoughtfully tailor individual instruction to support growth, technique, and artistry. What makes her stand out even more is her attentiveness to neurodivergent learners. My daughter is neurodivergent, and April seamlessly integrates life skills into every lesson-fostering confidence, resilience, and a positive self-image. Under April's guidance, my daughter has developed better posture, increased self-assurance, and a greater sense of comfort in own skin. Teacher April’s strengths extend beyond technical instruction. She is patient, compassionate, and highly adaptable, capable of connecting with even the most advanced learners as well as students with special needs. Her approach ensured that my child felt seen, heard, and supported. She has repeatedly demonstrated a commitment to clear, proactive communication with me; including helping us set concrete, actionable goals within my daughter's learning plan. She truly goes above and beyond, and her influence has been instrumental in my daughters progress and well-being. We feel incredibly fortunate to have her as our Ballet teacher, and we cannot overstate our gratitude. I would give Teacher April 10⭐️ stars if I could and offer my strongest recommendation. -Liza I., Parent (Online Class)

"I attended two workshops given by April and they were absolutely amazing! April is great at making people feel comfortable, even if movement feels intimidating at first. She brings humor, warmth, and a playful spirit to the workshop, creating an environment where everyone feels free to experiment, take risks, and have fun. Her ability to blend science-related topics with dance is nothing short of brilliant. April knows exactly how to push participants to expand their comfort zones while always keeping things light, encouraging, and supportive. If you ever get the chance to take a workshop with April—DO IT! You’ll walk away not only with new skills but also feeling creatively recharged, more confident in your movement, and absolutely inspired."Pam, Netherlands

My daughter really connects with April and loves this class. She helps her with motivation and life lessons along with basic ballet . Thank you April! -Kristy M. (Online Class)

I learned practical techniques to reframe anxious energy into a positive focus, which has already helped me feel more confident in client meetings and creative projects.
