Amanda

"Because of MG my son regained his mobility after a fracture to his hip and even though he has a stutter and finds talking to a big group difficult he did a presentation on Boys and dance to his class. With such confidence he got star 🌟 of the week. Dance to my son is so much more then a lesson once a week. Singing lessons have given him confidence to join the school choir."

"I am so proud of my daughter and the incredible journey she’s had since starting with Michelle Gauci in 2019. From the very first day, I could see the spark in her eyes as she fell in love with dance. Not only has she grown as a dancer, but she’s also gained confidence, discipline, and a strong sense of teamwork. Dance school has been a place where she’s learned to express herself, push her limits, and develop lifelong skills."

"Watching her perform, improve, and thrive over the years has been nothing short of inspiring. I’m grateful for Michelle and how she has nurtured my daughter’s love for dance, and I can’t wait to see how far she will go. Dance has become a beautiful part of who she is, and I’m forever thankful for the memories and experiences she has created along the way."
