We are here to vouch for Miss Melissa’s skill in teaching Ballet II. Lilah had Miss Melissa as her teacher and loved her. I was also impressed with her teaching skills and her ability to keep up the pace. The students enjoy her class very much!! She also focuses on her students individually. She is very much aware of their individual progress!
We love SPAA! The staff is excellent and the ballet program is extremely positive and so well done! We've been a part of Scripps since my daughter was 2yrs old and she'll be 15 soon!
