  • Testimonial: "I can't say enough how impressed I am, or how easy it has been to use. I was feeling so in need of some inspiration, and I feel like it's easy to get overwhelmed in ballet... Introducing all levels of dancers to the story lines of notable ballets and then using the music and some choreography from them for class has been so fun! Highly recommend!" Hayley Bennett- Prizm Company, North Dakota
