I'm an actual student at Monique's School of Dance. There's TONS to like about it. a First of all, the teachers are professional and some of the main teachers like Miss Cindy have even been doing dancing parts in movies! so they have REAL experience, along with having their own ideas of what to do for dances. They are also kind and funny. Students who graduate from Monique's have made real dancing careers and even opened their own studios! you can GUARANTEE you can leave Monique's with real dancing experience, no matter what other dance instructors say. Second of all, Monique's offers all kinds of dancing from ballet to hip hop. They have dance classes for all ages. Third of all, they have great dancing opportunities. Monique's has gone to New York every 3 or 4 years to be in the annual thanksgiving day parade, with their A and B companies, and they have great fundraisers for that too! Not many other dance studios do that, do they? Monique's also has Junior Lines 1 & 2, and A & B company (as i mentioned before) for extra dancing instruction. And lastly, for the ballet classes that is, the main ballet instructor Miss Monique, (the Monique in Monique's School of Dance) was like, the youngest prima ballerina in Europe and is very careful and precise for certain ballet positions and tests the girls well before putting them on pointe, unlike some other studios that put girls immediately on pointe with little or no testing of crucial pointe development skills. She is also precise in the dancing of ballet, having done so much of it herself. She is also very nice, like any teacher at Monique's. Monique's also offers dance camps, and welcomes any dancer from other studios or new dancers altogether. Monique's is not a competition studio either, but has equal opportunities. I'm not saying Monique's is perfect because it has some flaws and COULD have better conditions, but I personally think Monique's School of Dance is the best place to go if you want to improve or start dancing skills.
