TESTIMONIALS

"Our daughter has been dancing with Bette-Ann Libin since the age of three (3) years old. She is now thirteen (13) years of age and in seventh grade.

Bette-Ann's exceptional training has taught our daughter not only the fine art of ballet but a discipline and focus that carries over into her personal life and schoolwork. Bette-Ann is dedicated to all her students and takes a personal interest in "her children". Her knowledgeable training curriculum and devotion has helped our daughter develop into a beautiful young dancer and a poised, accomplished young woman."

"My daughter will be 16 in June of 2011. She has been dancing with Studio of Dance & WHYB since she was 3. Due to the exemplary instruction from Bette-Ann Libin, she was prepared and has actually performed in professional shows in both small venues and at the Bushnell in Hartford, CT.

One of the many reasons for staying with Studio of Dance is I trust Bette-Ann's judgment. In this world of short cuts and immediate satisfaction, ballet is about preparation and there are no short cuts. While my daughter pressured us to get her on Pointe (since all of her friends at other dance schools were) Bette-Ann kept our focus on safety and ONLY when my daughter's body was ready, it would happen."

"Bette-Ann Libin met my teenage daughter right where she was and welcomed her into her existing class of beautiful, young ballerinas in the making... It didn't matter that my daughter was about two-feet taller - and older than everyone else... Bette-Ann's warm, professional and caring hand brought each child to the place where she/he needed to be. My daughter thrived under her tutelage and has remained devoted to dance at Studio of Dance throughout her high school years. Thank you Bette-Ann, for your professionalism, exceptional training, and your caring spirit."

"I was fortunate to study as an adult with Bette-Ann Libin after having studied at the New England Conservatory as a girl where I was taught that the quality of instruction is paramount. Now my daughter is a student of the Studio of Dance and her progress has been astounding under the tutelage of the director. I cannot imagine a more professional and nurturing course of instruction in the art and language of dance. We are fortunate to have a studio of this quality in West Hartford."

"Our daughters have taken classes at the Studio of Dance for most of the last 11 years. Having Bette-Ann as a teacher in my children's lives has been a gift to them and to me. She has been a powerful force in nurturing not only their bodies but their characters. Bette-Ann has a singular ability to call the children to excellence. At the same time, she offers a safe and secure place in which the children can explore and learn gleefully. Bette-Ann's first priority is the proper growth and development of the children. Her focus is on helping them develop awareness of their bodies and of the fundamentals of ballet, rather than on elaborate recitals. Because of her wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and a great deal of love, Bette-Ann offers a truly superior experience."
