My daughter started Ballet as a teen which is unusual. Add to that, the school she attended closed. She wanted to continue and so we needed to find a place for a teen that was new to ballet. We found Do Dance and Ms. Monica and I'm so glad we did. She has been so supportive of my daughter and her goals, helping her through a variety of situations.
Ms. Monica is so caring and makes sure that every dancer gets the skills they need to dance well, to dance safely, and to feel good about the journey.

We have been part of the Do Dance family for 4 years. Monicas professionalism, dedication and care of the studio is what have made this experience so wonderful. Even during the high of the pandemic she was committed to keeping the classes going virtually and for that we couldnt be happier. We highly recommend the studio.

Do Dance Ballet and Fitness is a very friendly and professional environment. My daughter has been dancing with Ms Monica ever since she was 6 years old. She is now seventeen! Over the years she has grown as a dancer and as a person. As someone who has known Monica since before she opened up her business, I can confidently say she is very hardworking and cares deeply for the well-being of others. Dont miss out on the opportunity to check out Do Dance!

I have taken adult dance class with Monica at Do Dance Ballet & Fitness for 8 years. Monica, the owner, is a disciplined ballet dancer and a talented and experienced instructor. She is intensely committed not only to teaching but to sharing her artform with any student who wishes to learn. She is patient and insightful and observes every student . Monica is also a business owner and her studio and is well organized, clean and inviting. Her assistant Lily is also a talented dancer and an experienced teacher.

All 3 of my children have taken dance at Do Dance, and I have taken adult dance classes there as well. It's incredible to watch Monica work with her students of all ages, bringing her love for dance, her passion for teaching, her care for growth in confidence and development to each and every class. When searching for a studio for my children, I wasn't interested in the competition based model of many of the local studios - I wanted to find a place that would encourage hard work, body control, discipline, as well as art and creativity. Do Dance checked all these boxes for me, but really, it's Monica

My daughter has taken dance lessons here for the past 3 years and Do Dance has become a second family to us. Miss Monica and Miss Lily are so welcoming and fun and know how to challenge their dancers while being encouraging at the same time. I was so impressed when Covid hit, how many safety precautions were put into place. The studio continued lessons on Zoom and when it was safe to welcome the dancers back to the studio, the studio did (and still does) an amazing job with keeping the dancers as safe as can be. We are so happy with the educational and fun experience our daughter has had here and
