Words of Praise

Dear Melissa,
I just wanted to thank you. As you know I never had any experience with the dance world. I never danced as a kid and did not know anyone that did. Haley was so disappointed 4 years ago when she tried to sigh up for cheerleading only to find out she was 1 month to young. Lots of her friends were old enough and she was crushed.
Later that day I opened the Charlton Gazette and saw your ad. Haley had Irish Stepped for about 4 years and was always dancing around the house. I asked her since she couldn't cheer would she would she like to try a real dance studio.
That first year started off shaky. She felt like she couldn't do lots of the things the other girls that had danced before could do. I told her to just keep trying and she could catch up I guess the rest is history. Which brings me back to thanking you.
The past four years at Dance Mechanix have been amazing. Not only have I learned a lot, we have had such fun. We have both made some great friends. The competitions have been stressful at times, but have been a great mother daughter activity that I will always remember.
You have helped Haley realize and develop her passion. She is truly dedicated to dance. She has grown in her dancing and enjoys her role as an assistant. Haley loves dancing with the older girls and they are good to her and make her feel welcome. This reflects back to you and the atmosphere you have established at the studio.
I know sometimes that you take a beating from the parents. People always find it easy to jump to criticize, but are slow to show appreciation.
Just know that you are appreciated by Haley and I, and we thank you. Pauline

I just wanted to thank you for the extra time you put into this contest. It really means a lot to us. Some day you will see Courtneyon Broadway. Her first dance teacher in CO always said that and you will know you had trained her to be the best she can be. I think Courtney has come along way over the past 3 years and that is thanks to you. She was never really given a second glance at her old studio and you have done so much for us. I also want to thank Nicole for the extra pep talks she gives Courtney I really think she is a great mentor and my girls love her. I believe she is a wonderful asset to your business. I am not just saying that because we are friends. I truly appreciate all of you. Tina

Thanks for being such an amazing dance teacher!!! The tap teacher at the workshop afterwards told me that I was awesome

and he loved my passion. Such a huge part of that is because of you, and I know there's no way I'd be where I am today if it

weren't for you! I love you! ♥ ~ Alicia

Melissa,
Just a note to tell you how much I enjoyed watching all our DMX girls this past weekend. They all danced beautifully and

demonstrated great class in their behavior and appearance. After sitting through all of the competition and watching the obnoxious

antics of some of the other studios, all I can say is I am so proud of our girls, they are all wonderful young ladies. Congratulations

to all of you!Proud to be a DMX grandparent, Marylou ( Maggie's Meme)

Thank-you for sharing that with me....... The elderly seemed to really enjoy the show, As we were leaving they kept thanking us......

That really touched me that we can give so little, and grow as we do it, and touch someone else while we grow as a group....

Thank-you for the love you have for Tiffany, and what you see in her. She will grow with the right people behind her. Tiffany is coming

out of her shell slowly, But I don't believe I could of done it without you and all the other teachers in your studio. Thank-you for letting

us grow with you. To truly love someone, you sometimes have to disagree, but in the end always see
what's best. I am so glad that Tiffany and I found you Melissa. We both love you, and stand by you. Cheryl

Hi Melissa,

I wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how impressed I was with the
recital show you and your staff of instructors put together last Saturday! What
a great job everyone did!
I also wanted to thank you on behalf of myself, and some of the other parents
who mentioned it, for planning the recital early in May. I know my little girl
is very burnt out right about now...not to mention us parents!...and it was nice
to be able to finish up the dance year with some air still left in the tires. It
makes a huge difference!
And, I also want to mention that it was a nice touch to have your recital on
Mother's Day weekend. That worked out really well!

Anyway, thanks for a great year and a great show, Melissa! Super job! Mary

Dear Melissa,

Well can you believe it?! Alicia is a senior in high school, and practically all grown up! It is amazing to think about you being such a wonderful influence in her life for the past ten years!!! You took her under your wing that first summer she came back to dance after a year long illness, and helped her not only "catch up" in tap class, but actually put her ahead! You stood your ground and kept her in a center spot in ballet even when she wobbled. And boy have we seen her wobble! You believed in her and stood up for her when others thought she just wasn't good enough.
When you opened your own studio and she came to you full time you showed her how much you believe by giving her her first solo "I Believe". And you believed in her even when she wasn't sure about herself. Remember Illusions? "THAT'S OKAY ALICIA, I KNOW YOU WILL GET IT!" And she did get it! Along with just about every other trick twirl spin or kick. (Okay we can forget about the front walkover out of the box!) I wish I had a snapshot for every face plant she did, but they will have to remain wonderful memories along with the beautiful balances, too tightly turned chaines, and finally pulling off fouettes!
Well we are about to enter our final year with her together. I am both happy and sad. I don't know how we will ever get through the recital this year, never mind competitions! You have helped to shape Alicia into a wonderfully well rounded (almost) adult, and incredible dancer. She is so lucky to have you in her life! So make sure you have plenty of tissues on hand, cause we are about to begin a whirlwind of a year with lots of laughter, and plenty of tears!
I BELIEVE you have given her a dream! She could call out HEY BIG SPENDER to try and attract some attention, but there is no need because you taught her to FLY! Some might say you GOTTA GET A GIMMICK to get ahead in this world, but WHEN YOU BELIEVE in someone the way you believe in Alicia everything turns out beautiful like THE ROSE. I could go on and on about how wonderful you have been to her and STUFF LIKE THAT THERE, but let's just SCRATCH that and I'll just say from the bottom of MY HEART:

THANK YOU!!!!
Karen
