Testimonials

“My daughter has taken group classes, private lessons, and participated in two full productions of Nutcracker directed by Liane.  My daughter has had nothing but positive experiences.  Liane’s classes are challenging and well planned.  The Nutcracker productions draw in more performers and audience members each year.  It is a lot of time and commitment for the dancers, but the time spent is well worth it because the quality of the final production is so high.  I definitely would recommend Liane to any parents seeking high quality classical ballet training for their children or to a studio looking to stage a production of Nutcracker.” ~ Laura Hayes

\“Another year has gone by and as always ballet and pointe with you really improved my technique.  You are the best ballet teacher and I’m looking forward to next year.”

“Liane Fisher has brought ballet to Green Street! We are so impressed with the passion and commitment that she has shown our students, young and old, in her determination to offer ballet through our center. Because we primarily serve an at-risk community, with many families in states of transition, our teaching artists face many challenges. Liane magnificently and professionally faced every adversity – student attrition, classroom behavior, lack of appropriate attire – and kept the students excited and interested. Their end of year performance was truly remarkable. I look forward to continuing to work with Liane, and would recommend her without reservation to hold a position in dance instruction at any arts center.  Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity”  Sarah-Jane Ripa, Green Street Arts Center, Wesleyan University

“Thanks for another great year!”

 “Thank you SO much for an amazing year.  You’ve helped me improve tons  as a dancer and have really made me enjoy ballet more than I already did.  A lot of why I can dance so well is because of your teaching.  Thanks for being willing to teach me pointe and just for being an awesome teacher & person.”  Sarah Bloch

“My kids talked about the Nutcracker for a long time; they still do sometimes.  I find them more focused in their regular ballet classes now as if they had a heightened sense of purpose.”  Ying Xiaohong

“Performing in the Nutcracker was a wonderful experience, and I want to continue to perform. Nutcracker makes me feel motivated to try my hardest in ballet class. Even though it may be hard, I want to continue to better my skills and grow in my training. I hope that by performing, and trying to do each step the best that I can, I will continue to shine.”  Ellie Schaper

“Elena definitely benefited from participating in the Nutcracker. It was an opportunity for her to work hard at dance and to showcase her efforts for her family. This has helped build her self-esteem and most likely helped her along the way to overcome a tendency to be a bit shy. She definitely wants to participate again next year, and the experience has motivated her to take dance seriously as an interest and to be more invested in it. We all thought the shows were wonderful, and it is great to have a classical ballet school nearby.”  Kerstin Gallant

“Laney has always loved dance.  She currently does ballet, tap and jazz but after the Nutcracker I think she is much more interested in Ballet in particular.”  Melissa Parker
