Testimonials

I am deeply honored and grateful for the opportunity to have been part of numerous performance and studio companies, and to play a meaningful role in my students’ journeys. These experiences have profoundly shaped my identity and approach to teaching, inspiring me to serve and uplift others through dance. With heartfelt gratitude, I look forward to sharing many more enriching moments and supporting the growth of our community together.

I know Alex believes in me more than I believe in me, which is just a testament to the love that goes into this company. It was all created with thought and care.
— Jennifer Oehlwein, Owner & Founder of Freeheart Fitness
Alex was our main ballet instructor at our studio. Being a competitive studio, she understood the importance of ballet technique and how sometimes it can be difficult for dancers to not only absorb the information taught to them in class but then to apply the information while performing/competing on stage. Alex made this process her priority and continuously amazed us with her creative approaches in this matter. She was persistent in what she believed in and wouldn’t settle for anything less than our students being their own personal best versions of themselves. The dancers benefited greatly from her teaching, recognized both in the classroom and in the competitive dance world.

Aside from dance instruction; it was Alex’s character that shined the brightest. Her passion for her work was nothing short of inspirational. She was always genuinely kind and truly caring towards everyone. Alex always put her teaching obligations first and made it her priority to be there for her students and classes. She was extremely reliable and a true professional, inside and out of the studio. She is classy, considerate, hard-working and always a pleasure to be around
— Carrie Wasserman, Owner of Modern Rhythms Dance Academy
I am the most fortunate to have Ms. Alex as a mentor and instructor. She has helped me improve my ballet technique exponentially and become a more versatile dancer and performer. Her classes contain just the right amount of challenge in order for them to still be satisfying and fruitful. She has knowledge in abundance about this business and is always open to share her experiences. Ms. Alex is extremely caring and invested in her students; she provides us with all the tools needed to advance and succeed. I know the training and wisdom I receive from her is long term and will help me in the future not only as a dancer but also as a person!

Ms. Alex has taught me for the last two years and I can absolutely say my artistry and technique in ballet has improved so much in that time! She makes a personal connection with each student and takes the time to help with every correction she gives. I am about to attend college and I will be entering the dance program there. Thanks to her, I feel confident in my technique and am ready to approach all my classes with self-assurance in my abilities!
