"Since coming to Vanessa Plettell Dance, I have improved tremendously in my dance technique and performance abilities. The teachers are wonderful and very encouraging, allowing me to work to my full potential and succeed in all my dance endeavors. I started ballet and jazz at the studio 2 years ago and immediately fell in love with it's warm, friendly atmosphere, which gave me back my love of dance. The studio provides excellent training while keeping the classes fun and enjoyable as well. The end of the year show is also a highlight and a great experience for all the students.

Without the support and training I received at Vanessa Plettell Dance, I wouldn't have had the confidence or technique to pass my Advanced 2 RAD exam this past year. Vanessa Plettell Dance is truly dedicated to the progression and growth of each dancer and is really a wonderful place to be!"

Tara, Mom of Erin and Keira

"I've been dancing since the age of 4. I've taken ballet, jazz, tap, and acro. I love them all. I've been taking dance summer camp with Ms. Pletell for the past three years and love it because I get to meet new people and learn new dances. I love ballet as it helps me prepare for other dances. I love he year end show because the main character gets to sing, dance, and act their parts, everybody takes part in the show. All the costumes are nice. Ms.Plettell is very creative and active in all the dances and shows."
Courtney, student

"Ms. Plettell produces an amazing year end “Production” with the cast of children and adults. Ms. Plettell puts in extreme effort and detail in ensuring classes, exams, shows, competitions, camps are perfect. She puts her heart and soul into the school. With the participations of parents it allows us to ensure the children’s venues are successful, rewarding and fun. I would recommend this school to any child who loves to dance. "

Hi! I’m Isabella, I am 13 years old and I am PROUD to say that I am a dancer at Vanessa Plettell Dance Studio! This dance studio has not only given me a place to dance, after my past dance studio had shut down and, it has not only given me a remarkable director Vanessa Plettell- Chevrier and amazing teachers such as Shaye Reinhardt who believe in me to push myself harder to accomplish more difficult and complicating dance steps, but the most extraordinary thing that Vanessa Plettell Dance Studio has given me is outstanding schooling that made me become the beautiful dancer that I am today.

The first day that I arrived at Vanessa Plettell Dance Studio I was over whelmed with the amazing dancers in my jazz class. They were doing full splits, there leg extensions were at 90 degrees or even higher and mine was at lets say at 40(to be nice) and the amazing just kept coming when I had reached ballet. In my ballet class all the students were pulled up, their weight placement was correct and mine was WAY back, but I was so confident that when I got to my tap I would blow my class away because at my past dance studio I had won awards for tap because I would hit the floor so hard and continue to hit it hard to create beautiful sounds yet, I didn’t realize that at my past dance studio they weren’t challenging me. So when I had reached the tap class I had realized that they were doing very advanced steps compared to what I had been doing at my past dance studio. Yes, I still hit the floor as hard as I always did but hardly any of my sounds were there.

I needed help and Vanessa Plettell- Chevrier the director and also one of my many superb teachers had realized my difficulty in the class but she didn’t place me in a level that was too easy for me, what would I have learned there. Instead, she believed in me to accomplish what all my other fellow dancers in my class had been doing. Vanessa pushed me physically and emotionally in dance and she never gave up on me, she never got frustrated with me and she was always there for me. Vanessa Plettell-Chevrier is a remarkable dance teacher, director and dancer who has faith in every one of her students and that means the world to me. She finds all her students weaknesses including mine and she turns all those weaknesses into strengths with her amazing and supportive teaching strategies. A dance teacher like Vanessa is very hard to find today. Take my word for it, three years ago at my past dance studio wasn’t challenging me like at this dance studio. Yet, Vanessa doesn’t just make dreams possibilities she makes dreams of becoming astonishing dancers, realties.

I am proud to say that I have improved SOOO much in dancing ever since I’ve reached Vanessa Plettell Dance Studio. I now have correct weight placement in ballet, and my legs can go to 90 degrees (my next goal is to get them even higher), my tap has never been so good and I have my splits. There is so much more that I have improved on since I’ve reached this just amazing dance studio. I know each year I will keep improving! I hope from my story that I will encourage your toddlers, children or even teens to come to this astonishing dance studio. This testimonial is not only to encourage everyone to come here, but it is to thank my shining director Vanessa Plettell-Chevrier and my great teachers such as Shaye Reinhardt on giving me such a wonderful experience and I know I will continue having the time of my life here! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!

Sincerely,
Isabella, Student
