MEMBER FEEDBACK
“Kim is an extraordinary teacher who conducts classes that are both challenging and enjoyable – perfect for people who have never studied ballet before, as well as those who haven’t danced in decades (like me). Several of the students in the class are recovering from joint replacements and one is dealing with a complicated spinal issue. They all love Kim’s class, and they told me that they joined after “graduating” from physical therapy. Classical ballet is picking up where PT left off, and Kim’s class leaves them feeling much better and stronger!” – Elizabeth, Class Participant
