We love Creation Dance Studio! We are so lucky to have Stevie and her amazing team on the island. The variety of classes and the happy energy are everything. Highly recommend the tap/ballet or jazz/modern combo classes. Such a great way for your child to explore different styles at the same time.

Stevie has the ability to make it fun to learn the challenging positions and combinations in ballet! In class, we are challenged to improve while being affirmed for what we do well. Stevie inspires us by example and with affirmation. Our performances are really fun! Performing together has built a strong sense of community among the dancers and fostered a very positive, friendly environment that is welcoming of new people!

Creation Dance Studio has the very best adult ballet and adult pointe classes. Stevie is so knowledgeable and encouraging that I always feel a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment after a class, even after a long day at work. Her classes provide a great work out focusing on both technique and artistry. Stevie fosters a wonderful, inclusive community of dancers from ages 16-86 who take class and also perform in the community. My husband, who had never taken any form of dance, has taken her Thursday class for adult beginners and has loved it.

Stevie is the ultimate professional. She is an outstanding teacher -- positive, cheerful and patient arriving at each of our sessions enthusiastically prepared with fresh ideas and new approaches. In addition to being well-versed in Pilates and yoga instruction, Stevies dance background has been critical to my recovery from injury, as she has guided me through postural alignment and foot strengthening work. She has also, proactively, coordinated with my physical therapist to assure they are working in tandem.
Stevie responds quickly to my questions and concerns as we work and offers cues
