Testimonials from students and their families
October 2009 Our daughter began dance at SSPA when the doors first opened in 2007 and our son began guitar lessons there the following year. We see no reason to ever look elsewhere for art instruction! Angelika is knowledgeable not only in what is aesthetically lovely but in the physiology of growing dancers. She challenges them with incredibly high expectations but also knows how to ensure they are not injuring themselves with moves too advanced for their stage of physical development. Our daughter had progressed more in dance knowledge, understanding, and gracefulness during her two years here than in her four years of prior study combined. Guitar instructor Zach Nichols has gone out of his way to work with us in creating challenging long and short term goals. Zach incorporates music that is appealing to our son, while never neglecting fundamentals of scales, chords, and technique. We are extremely pleased with the continued progress we see in our sons' musicianship. We also greatly appreciate the convenience of having guitar lessons take place during ballet class, and all under one roof! Maureen Anderson August 2009 Miss Angelika gives each student her personal attention. The studio is professional yet personal and friendly. We feel our daughter has grown in her knowledge and love of dance. Thank you! Wendy May July 2009 We were looking for a place for our kids to take dance classes. My daughters wanted to take different types of dance. One wanted to take Ballet and the other wanted to take Tap. We could not find another place here in Spring Hill that would let them take the different types of dance that they were interested in. When we went to meet the Stegmanns they were VERY welcoming and understood each need of our girls. They also had the classes that allowed them to do what they enjoyed. The girls grew in learning the basics of each form of dance and fell in love with Mr. Bruce and Miss Angelika. The Stegmanns are both wonderful teachers that have a HUGE love for children. They are both very patient, which allows them to connect with the children on each child's level. I always felt good leaving my girls there and knowing that they had the best care and teachers with them. Amy Carlisle |
