In Sequins has been part of our lives from the day they opened their doors. We have not only watched the studio change and grow but have watched our child bloom into a wonderful dancer all due to the dedication of such wonderful instructors. The family atmosphere has made it easy to bring our youngest on board! So exciting!!
Dear Miss Kaleesha… Without you, I would never really have seen the fun side of ballet. I will miss having a dance instructor who really understands me.
We cannot thank Kaleesha, Sheri and the rest of the staff that makes our studio life run so smoothly! From day one we were treated like family and we are so appreciative to have such an amazing studio here in Brooks! The support we have been provided with is second to none!
Our family has grown up with Miss Kaleesha and we love her like family!
She awakes, inspires, and motivates dancers of all ages, genders, and cultures. When our girls were younger they looked forward to dance just to be around Miss Kaleesha as she always made them feel special and important. As they got older they wanted to be able to dance like Miss Kaleesha and were energized in her presence. As they approached their last couple years of dance, they wanted to earn her recognition, approval, and respect.
Miss Kaleesha is a skilled dancer, mentor of character, and a friend to all she meets! Her fan club is forever growing, her studio forever developing, and her impact on the children and youth of community forever making a difference! We love you for all the time, energy, and passion you put into dance and for creating confidence, skill, and determination in our daughters! Only the best teachers can create a fun learning environment while challenging her students to new heights. You are one of these rare gems Miss Kaleesha! Xoxo
Four years is not a long time, but after four years with In Sequins I can look back and say that a huge portion of good memories I have, are from the studio and with the family you've let me be a part of. I cannot thank you enough for all of the experiences you've given me. The dance lessons, the life lessons, the heart-to-hearts and the laughs have helped me grow so much, and I can't believe the run is over already. I feel like my time with you and everyone at the studio has been cut short. I've got so much left to learn and so uch dance left in me, but i know that though I can't stay, you will continue to inspire me to do my best, to slow down and breathe under pressure, and to execute everything I do with confidence and enthusiasm. You've provided me with a huge souce of happiness through what have been the most challenging years of my life so far and I don't know where I'd be without the outlets you've provided me. I can't wait to come back and watch the studio continue to improve and strive year after year! Thank you so much, again, for everything Kaleesha. It has meant the world to me.
In Sequins dance studio has provided my family with exceptional dance instruction. What impresses and sets them apart in my eyes, is the quality of their teachers. The knowledge and love of dance shines through, but more importantly the instructors' love for their students is evident in all that they do. They truly care about each student’s all round health no matter the child’s level of dance. In Sequins has given my children a stable and safe venue where they have been encouraged to grow and develop in confidence and individuality as they master dance. To reinforce my words, after a family tragedy that left my children devastated, the first place my girls wanted to return was to the comfort of the dance studio. I only wish all parents could have such a positive venue to play a role in the development of their children.
The In Sequins studio, the teachers and fellow dancers have become like a second family to my girls and myself. Everyone involved in the studio is there for the love of dance and our kids. I can't say enough positive things about the teachers and the connection they have with each child. Both of my girls consider Kaleesha and all the staff role models and friends for life. I can't thank Kaleesha and the In Sequins dance family enough for all they do for my girls!!
Kaleesha, I really felt the need to contact you on a personal note and thank you so much for all the inspiration and commitment to my girls and helping them to fall in love with dance. I could not have asked for a more wonderful, committed and incredible person to take my girls to where they are today. Your energy level always amazed me, coming into your studio after a long day and watching you infuse the room with enthusiasm and joy, day after day, often later at night – I truly don’t know how you do it! We will miss you immensely and I just want to thank you.
Miss Kaleesha, (As I was so badly trying to say the other day…) I know you say that it’s your job and what we pay you for, but there are people who do their job and people who love their job. You love what you do, and it reflects on your students and is why I continue to come back. Both Kate & Sara adore & look up to you and you’ve never disappointed them. This year really challenged Kate’s abilities and confidence. Your constant belief in her and your push for her to keep going and trying has helped her mature so much this year. I couldn’t believe that the small girl, who never wanted to be the center of attention, found courage to dance on stage alone. We are so proud of her. Thank–you for believing in her and helping her to believe in herself. You have given her something that as her parents, we couldn’t, no matter how hard we try. Thank-you for also teaching Sarah to be courageous and have fun at the same time. She may not always have shown it, but she did enjoy dancing very much. I hope that at sometime in their lives, your children have a “Miss Kaleesha” - a stranger who impacts their lives in such a positive way , as you have done for mine. Have a great summer. P.S. Rest up… I’m fairly sure independent Eva is coming your way!
The dance is over, the applause subsided but the joy and feeling will stay with us forever.
Miss Kaleesha… I cannot begin to express the many thanks we wish to give to everyone at In Sequins… Studio of Dance, for making Tannaya’s first year of dance an exceptional experience. The care and devotion that you show towards these kids doesn’t go unnoticed. I just wanted to send you congratulations on the wonderful performance this past weekend. Tannaya absolutely loved the experience and the entire performance was spectacular!
Tannaya absolutely loves coming to your dance studio. Once again, congratulations on the excellent job. We will definitely be signing up again next year!
