"Learning to walk sets you free. Learning to dance gives you the greatest freedom of all: to express with your whole self the person you are."
~Melissa Hayden

"I can not recommend Harvard Academy of Dance enough! We finally found a spot that let's little butterflies flit about, where giggles can be heard, and smiles spread wide.

"Your event this past weekend was an incredible success and we were really impressed by the organization, all of the performances, and your direction over the entire day." ~Tracy S.
"I was amazed to see Asia dance on Saturday and so was her grandmother. Such a range of types of dance for her to learn in just one year! You have really helped her to learn about different forms of dance and she truly loves it! She's now telling me she wants to go to a college that specializes in dance. She has had such a great year and always comes home from practice dancing and happy. You are a great coach/teacher/choreographer and it's really nice to send my child to a studio so close by with teaching staff that are mature and good role models. This is so important especially for teenage girls. Thanks again and Asia is looking forward to the new dance season." ~Holly M.
"Thank YOU for all of your VERY hard work! Your first HAD recital was spectacular. Especially thank you for all that you did this year teaching Dallas!...It has been a tough year of assimilation and adjustment and your acceptance and hard work did much to increase Dallas’ confidence and his skills. His routine was beautiful and showed much hard work on both your parts. We are thankful for all your support." ~Karen A.
" I can't begin to tell you how WONDERFUL your World Premier was. I can not believe how creative, beautiful and interesting your choreography was. My family and all my friends feel the exact same way. Everything about the show was perfect, just perfect. I can definitely tell you that if you were not in the front coaching your little ones, they would have froze and instead, you made them feel comfortable and safe which gave them the ability to have fun and to shine. Bravo my friend...You should be so proud of yourself Kim. This was one of the best recitals ever and everyone is saying the same exact words!" ~ Cheryl P.
