Testimonials
“Footworks is a fantastic, professional, and fun dance school where my child has truly thrived. Melina’s passion for developing her students’ skills is evident in every class, encouraging them to grow and reach their full potential. Not only does my child learn the art and discipline of ballet, but she also enjoys being challenged and constantly strives to achieve her best!”
Mum of Ayse
“Melina’s dedication and hard work at Footworks shine through in both the achievements of her students and their genuine love for their teacher. I’ve watched my daughters transform from shy, nervous performers into confident dancers who eagerly anticipate their next time on stage. This growth has been nurtured through Melina’s sensitive and careful teaching. Thank you for helping Elsa and Ada develop focus and discipline—not just in dance, but in every aspect of their lives!”
