“My daughter had never taken a dance class before. When she was 14, she asked me if she could take ballet. She was starting from the beginning as a teenager, but Miss Melissa and The Dancing House didn't care about that. My daughter was fully welcomed and was met were she was. Even more than met -- she was loved for where she was. The Dancing House is a place where students are encouraged and treated positively. Miss Melissa helped my daughter build confidence and gain skills that transcend beyond dance. We love The Dancing House and Miss Melissa!”

“Melissa is an amazing teacher and mommy! My thirteen year old daughter has taken lessons with her for several years and always asks me to sign her up for more. She loves Melissa's classes because they are both challenging and fun! I also have personal experience taking classes from Melissa - her adult tap class is a hoot! I would highly recommend The Dancing House and Melissa to people of all abilities and age. She is extremely professional, talented and caring teacher and person.”

“I danced through grade school and then stopped once I graduated. After a decade of not dancing, I missed it so much! So at the age of 33, I was in search of a studio with adult classes where I could dance again - for fun and get in a good workout! 4 years ago I found The Dancing House, and it was the perfect choice for me. I've taken ballet, tap, yoga, and I am still taking Boogie Fit - which is an amazing dance fitness class. I also use the Virtual Dance on Demand option when I travel. Melissa is an amazing teacher, choreographer, and just simply a wonderful person! I 100% recommend The Dancing House to everyone of all ages!”
