All the teachers at NW Dance Project and particularly, Gabriela Ganney Smith, are very good at what they do. I feel encouraged without being pushed and I have grown to love dancing. In addition to the ballet I've learned, I have improved my balance and flexibility. I recommended NW Dance Project to anyone thinking about trying ballet.
