I am the owner of Orange County School of Dance and am rebutting a negative review. This person claims I am not qualified to teach ballet when in fact I trained at Peabody Conservatory and was invited to join their Ballet Company in addition to training at American Ballet Theatre in NYC. I trained with Lynn Simonson in jazz, a well-renowned jazz instructor throughout NYC and Europe. I have won teaching awards on the state and national level, including the latest from the U.S. Commerce Department in Washington, D.C. for "Best of Monroe" in Dance Instruction and Schools. I think that qualifies me to teach ballet, modern and jazz. I also have excellent reviews in the New York Times, Village Voice and The Villager for my dance performance. She can view them if she wants to contact me. Please stop slandering me with vicious lies.
I have a thriving business with over 500 dedicated students who can vouch for my expertise.
