"My daughter started at South Jersey Ballet 5 years ago and it has been the best decision we ever made. She has grown so much in her dancing and has learned so much about having a good work ethic. Ms. Andrea and the rest of her staff teach not only ballet technique but also instill a strong work ethic in their students. Ms. Andrea also was incredibly caring to my daughter when she fractured her foot (not at dance) just a few weeks prior to a production and was no longer able to perform. She kept my daughter involved in the show while watching rehearsals and had her by her side to watch the show on the side of the stage. I am incredibly thankful that we found this school and that it has become my daughter’s home away from home."
"I love South Jersey Ballet School and Theatre. When my daughter was 9 she discovered how much she loved ballet and that’s when I did my research and found SJB. We started in the Summer and it was amazing to see the difference and emphasis on technique compared to other schools. It became very apparent that Mrs. Andrea Duffin was very professional and made sure that her students knew the proper technique so they did not injure themselves. Andrea was always someone she could go to for advice. She helped teach my daughter hard work, dedication and the willingness to take corrections always pays off. My daughter graduated 7 years later became a member of Houston Ballet II and became a professional dancer with Cincinnati Ballet. I can’t say enough about how lucky we were to find Mrs. Duffin and a dance school like this."
"As I look to start my own children in ballet (and dance in general) in another state, I am hoping I can find something even close to this! I spent my whole childhood and teen years with Andrea Duffin at the school and theater. This place was absolutely a second home for all of us. The environment was nurturing and positive, disciplined for those wanting to strive for a professional career, and so rewarding on so many levels including personal growth and growth as a dancer. The staff, professional guest teachers, and performances were absolutely amazing to experience and straight up fun. I will always look back on these years as the most rewarding, and I cherish all the memories I made at this studio. I am not sure I will be able to find a school with the same talent, professionalism, performance opportunities, and caliber for my own girls, but one can hope!"
"The past 7 years that I have spent at South Jersey Ballet have been the best of my life. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for all that Mrs. Andrea Duffin and her staff have helped me to achieve, and all the amazing opportunities that she has provided me with. I will forever cherish the memories and lessons I have learned under her instruction, both in ballet and in life. Mrs. Andrea Duffin has been such a powerful and inspirational person for me to look up to, her passion is contagious and her love for this art form is truly admirable. South Jersey Ballet is a second-home to me. My time at the school has shaped me into the person and dancer that I am today, and has opened doors for me that otherwise would never have been explored. As I look to begin my dancing career, I know that nothing would have been possible without the guidance I have received from Mrs. Duffin at South Jersey Ballet. She believes in all of her students and makes the journey in studying ballet challenging, enjoyable, and rewarding. Students looking to begin or further their ballet training are lucky to have a classical ballet school like SJB within reach."
"South Jersey Ballet School (home of South Jersey Ballet Theatre) has been my second home for 12 years and I truly can't imagine what my life would be like without everything I have learned there. Andrea Duffin is an outstanding ballet instructor who really cares about the students and wants them to succeed. In addition to learning correct ballet technique, I have learned so many other important lessons such as how to collaborate with others to produce creative results and the importance of hard work and dedication. While taking many classes to improve technique, students are provided with many opportunities to perform in professionally organized full length ballets. There is no better place to study the fine art of ballet in South Jersey than SJB, as Andrea and her team never fail to produce confident, hard-working, and successful young women."
