The Center for the Performing Arts

"Halee has a love for the arts that she pours into The Center and it infects anyone who enters therein. My daughter has taken dance and gymnastics from many, many locations through the years but I don't think she's ever loved the whole experience- teachers, classmates, what she's learning, recitals, and so on- quite like she does now. Halee cares about technique and dedication but just as importantly she inspires those she teaches to love singing, dancing, and performing, to push themselves, and to share the beauty they have to offer."

"The owner, Halee, is fabulous!! She is great with students of all ages and is knowledgeable in all dance disciplines. My girls have learned so much as dancers with her in both studio and private lessons. She is friendly, professional, and encouraging as a teacher. She also provides excellent, positive, age-appropriate feedback for dancers who want to grow in their dance technique. Halee is an excellent teacher and choreographer!!"

"The owner Halee is a very talented performer and has a lot to offer for those that she teaches. My daughter took voice lessons from her and she just loved her and learned some valuable lessons that will help her as she continues to grow. We were so grateful to Halee. She is a fabulous teacher for anyone and I would highly recommend her performing arts center to anyone looking for a fantastic place to help their talents grow."

"The Artistic Director of The Center for the Performing Arts is an amazing teacher, mentor and role model to her students. Not only is she a wonderful dance teacher and choreographer with experience teaching and performing all major dance genres, she has the ability to teach the whole student. Her students spend time working on strength and flexibility in each class, preparing their bodies and helping prevent injuries. She spends time on improv and performance ability so the students learn to feel the dance as well as just perform the moves. And she also tends to the dancers' hearts, giving them encouragement, positive feedback and honest, yet constructive critiques so the dancer knows what work is needed to meet their goals. Halee has a keen eye for detail, and has a natural ability to watch a dancer and make small, precise technique adjustments or large, sweeping changes in the way the dancer moves that quickly improves the dancer's overall aesthetic. And on top of all of that, she is organized, dedicated, and passionate about all aspects of the performing arts. I highly recommend her to any dancer at any level."
