As a lifelong dancer, I’ve had many instructors...Ixchel is BY FAR the BEST! I’ve also been a dance instructor and have a Masters in Education, so my expectations for quality instruction are extremely high. Ixchel always exceeds them—in the group classes I’ve taken with her and especially in private lessons! (All for which she should charge MUCH MORE than she does.) In addition to being an outstanding instructor and amazing ballerina, she is also one of the kindest and most caring people I’ve ever met! She is so humble and makes everyone feel very welcome and encouraged! So blessed to have found her ballet academy—she should have ALL the business in the area! Can’t wait until my little boys can learn from her, too!
