From the reviews
The atmosphere is pleasant. Michelle isn't the teacher for all classes but she does make sure that her students are attending (if they will be performing in the recital). I wished for something a bit more challenging for my 6 year old but the recital was beautiful. The older kids put on a spectacular show!
I think that the Studio with staff create such a pleasant atmosehere.Plus the Owner is such pleasant and up lifting person. Hey, she has been in business for the pass 34 year's!!
My daughter has been dancing with Michele since she's 4 years old and she is about to attend Rutgers, the Mason Gross School of the Arts in September. She has danced with her every single year and we owe Michele everything to what my daughter, Jade, has learned.
My daughter had danced here for the past three years. She started as a very shy little girl taking one class and she is now taking three classes and begging for more. She is so much more confident and has loved all of her teachers and always looks forward to the big end of year recital.
Your first ballet class at Michele Compa Dance & Exercise Center
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
