Comments from NewDancers…….

“From dance, I have come to see that a solid basis in any particular discipline can facilitate growth in related fields. Ultimately though, dance represents my freedom of body and mind, for even these many years since nursery school, I remain unafraid to have fun, look silly, and feel alive when I point my foot and start moving.”
Rebecca, NewDance ’07, Cornell ‘11

“NewDance was like a second home for me and my mother too! Performing at nursing homes, May Fair, and the annual concerts are moments I will never forget, especially the ballet productions! Dance has taught me how to present myself, about the art of classical music and about the benefits of structured activities. Not to mention good posture.
I wrote about how dance has been a part of my life as an entrance essay for college so I’m pretty sure dance means a lot to me! And why walk when you can dance?”
Flavia, NewDance ’04, Villanova ‘08

“You’re the best dance teacher ever!”
Beatrice, age 5

“Dance is beauty for all to behold. Thank you for helping me to behold that beauty”
Alex, age 13

Notes from NewDance Parents……..

“We had so much fun seeing Rachel, and the other girls we have come to know so well, happy and confident on stage. We wanted to thank you for creating and nourishing such a fun, safe and healthy haven for Rachel to spread her wings and enjoy. This has been the infamous junior year for Rachel. But through it all, she continues to find NewDance a creative outlet and a place to truly be herself among some of her closest friends. NewDance is a welcome reprieve from all worries and pressures. Thank you!”
Mrs. Polonsky

“Your program has been top-flight from the start. Your instructors are not only talented dancers themselves but strike just the right balance needed-they teach with high expectations of their students but are friendly and caring as well. I am proud to have my girls be a part of the NewDance program.”
Mrs. Adimari

“I must tell you that the boys enjoyed their class so much! They used to be very “clutzy” and we notice that they are using their large motor muscles so much better since taking their classes at NewDance. It’s a great place and you do a remarkable job with all those little munchkins”
Grandma Ryan


After the Dance Concert notes………

“Last night was something that we will remember and recount over countless dinners and family events for years to come. Over the past fourteen years we have seen Rebecca grow up on stage. NewDance has helped shape her into the person she is today and we are proud. The lasting impression of Rebecca on stage being every bit the young woman she has become, while still in some ways looking the four year-old she was, will always be with us.”
Mr. Dion

“I just wanted to congratulate everyone at NewDance on a great job! It’s a difficult job to be kind but firm, disciplined yet understanding. You managed it perfectly! The performance was terrific!”
Mrs. Welstead

“Just a quick note to say, “thank you” for a wonderful year. My daughter loved ballet, she improved greatly and had a fun time. Your patience and manner are wonderful. Whatever your secret is….keep it up! The results are immense. The concert was proof of that! What a huge success. Thank you.”
Mrs. Vickerson
