★★★★★Heather ArracueWe needed a school more dance focused coming from the conservatory. Reaching Heart has provided an incredibly strong ballet foundation for my daughter. She started dancing with Melissa at 6. The shows are amazing to watch your child live their dreams out on stage, and the Nutcracker can’t be topped. Through class, privates, YAGP competition and visiting professionals, my daughter thrived. Melissa gave her the foundation to go beyond Reaching Heart to train at summers at SAB and join ABTs pre professional program at 15. We still attend RHSB classes when home and privately train with Melissa. I can’t thank her enough for all she has done for my daughter and continues to support every step of the way.
★★★★★Christal HopkinsMy daughter was introduced to Reaching Heart from a preschool birthday party. Over 10 years later she is still dancing from her heart. Her time at Reaching Heart has taught her so many skills beyond learning ballet. She has a stronger work ethic and developed perseverance, commitment, and athleticism. It is a wonderful ballet community and all the students and teachers are very positive and supportive.
★★★★★Jackie deRuyterReaching Heart School of ballet has been such a special part of our lives for the past 13 years. My daughters began dancing with Miss Melissa at age 4 and have learned so much more than ballet in that time. They are confident, dedicated, and kind young women due in part to Miss Melissa and Reaching Heart!
★★★★★Erika MeadsMy daughter has danced with the Reaching Heart School of Ballet for almost 10 years! Melissa and her staff have given her a strong foundation of dance, opportunities to perform, and the confidence to excel. It is a studio that is welcoming to all and supports young dancers to be the best they can be! We are so grateful to have this remarkable studio right here on Cape Cod!
★★★★★Turk FamilyWe are so thankful to have found Miss Melissa and Reaching Heart Ballet. Our daughters have adored their teachers and experience at the studio over the past year and a half. They have developed confidence and poise, while learning self-discipline. We appreciate the professionalism as well as the welcoming nature of the school, and look forward to watching our kids' love of ballet continue at RHSB!
