Here at the Melissa Nemetz School of Dance we have certain standards we maintain. Every child is important to us and every child is made aware of its unique qualities. While competitive atmospheres drive other philosophies, we are driven by the desire to teach strong technique. We have found that children progress naturally in a non-stressful environment. We focus on knowledge of the art, technique, kinesiology, teamwork, and the ability to perform in front of others, when done in the right manner produces poise, self-discipline and self esteem.
