I have been dancing for 12 years. The last five have been at Nina's. Having been a dancer at another studio for a good portion of my life, I can attest to why the sweet and play nice approach doesn't always work, we were lazy and my teacher didn't expect enough out of us and therefore I didn't get the best dance training. In 7th grade, I made the decision to come to Nina's and I have to say its been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I love Nina's. I love the friends I have made there, and the family that i know will be with me for the rest of my life. Sure Nina yells some, but she yells because she loves us and expects only the best out of us, which sometimes can only be achieved with a little tough love and criticism. Anyone who has been to dance shows in Durham knows that Nina's is the best and if they say anything bad about us it's out of jealousy and knowing that they don't have enough self confidence to be able to handle the way Nina teaches. Not only have I received the best dance training in Durham, Nina's has taught me to be confident in myself and gives me the opportunity to learn in a real-world setting, preparing me for life in ways I never could've imagined possible. I love Nina's and everyone there, it has been the best experience of my life and I will hate to leave next year when I graduate.
