My daughter has been dancing with Ellen since she was 6, and at age 14, she still loves Ellen's classes. Ellen teaches more than technique, Ellen emphasizes creativity and self-expression. Dance is an art, not just physical exercise. Ellen brings out the individuality of each dancer; children in Ellen's classes display an extraordinary level of creativity because she encourages them to articulate ideas through movement. My daughter has gained skills in musicality, stage presence, collaboration, problem-solving, improvisation, and choreography, as well as strong dance skills. Ellen Robbins is a wonderful teacher whose understanding of the creative process in children is unmatched.
