Gloucester is incredibly lucky to have such a gifted, talented, passionate, and dedicated teacher to call its own. In addition to her extensive dance and movement training, Sarah is a skilled teacher who works with each student on technique, style, and personal somatic issues. I have noticed a huge difference not only in my technique, but also in my body alignment and posture. This is a bonus I didn't expect, as is the studio's magical and glorious space, complete with a heavenly domed ceiling and gorgeous views of Gloucester Harbor.

The first several classes were a learning experience for our young granddaughter. She initially enjoyed the classes but with every week that passed the class teacher seemed to become increasingly agitated with our young granddaughter and didn't seem to have the patience for this age group. our granddaughter was to my knowledge one of the youngest participants in the class and did require redirection during class to ensure all the children's safety (she would run around enjoying herself) on our last day we attended our granddaughter was running a muck and Miss Angie held her hand to redirect her and our granddaughter pulled away crying and was told to matter a fact to leave. She ran out of the dance studio in tears. I get it safety is # 1 priority. But she was already leaving the statement from the teacher of "leave then" was uncalled for and made her not want to come back to dance which breaks my heart because the teacher has surpassed her tolerance for this age group. Very sad experience

She did not like ballet or tap but never quite believed me that there were other kinds of dance. Having spent time at another local dance company that has a stringent plan of what classes they think kids should take and not actually taking the child's abilities in mind when recommending what classes the child should take next. Children have different abilities and learning styles and should NEVER be placed in a plan that everyone does it this way. My daughter is a current local pageant title holder and wants to participate in the talent competition at this year's State pageant. We asked for recommendations for a dance teacher and met Miss Betsy who has not only choreographed a dance for us but who's teaching style has helped my daughter learn that dance isn't just one way.

It's a great and perfect throwback to yesteryear with the layout and how they do things. The owner said they do trivia and Cuban dance lessons among other fun events there. It's really a great find and I wish more towns had these small local joints where it's intimate and fun and a great experience. The burlesque show was awesome.
