What Others Are Saying

Jamie West

Former Owner of West Active dance program

"Emilee is a talented young woman who has a natural way with children! When I was 16, like Emilee, I was holding dance camps for little girls at my church as my first little business. I had no idea at the time that I would one day own a dance studio for over a decade. I'm thankful I took the chance to spread my wings when I was a teenager and do what I was born to do. This is why I believer in Emilee as a young person. In addition, she has trained in the classrooms as an Assistant Teacher in my dance program, West Active, before it closed. She was also very helpful working with children backstage and on stage at our annual recitals. Emilee has a caring heart, a love for children, and is very gifted in dance, music, and theater. I only hired people I thought would be a positive influence and a good example to young girls, and that is exactly what Emilee is!"

Andrea Heath

Administrative Assistant, Covenant Church

"We have a summer worship, art, and music program we put on every summer (2020 excepted). Emilee served as a leader working with choreography and teaching dance. The times I was able to observe her working with the children under her instruction, Emilee proved to be a diligent worker and a cheerful, competent instructor. She worked patiently with children of a number of levels of experience and ability."
