"Michelle's style of dance is unique to anything
I have seen in Mobile. She has amazing energy and a genuine love for what she does, and it shows.
The staff that she has put together for her studio is equally talented and
energetic. We could not be happier with our choice to join Michelle in her first
year. The only regret we have is that it my daughter's senior year before she
leaves for college and we wish Michelle would have done this sooner!"

"My little girl is Lindsey Grace Autio, age 3,
and she is enrolled in the Tuesday Fairytale Ballet class in which
Michelle is the teacher.
I am very impressed with the building, the facilities and faculty.
Our class started out with Lacy who was wonderful and now was
replaced with Michelle who has exceeded my expectations!!! Lindsey
loves the class and especially her teacher which is very important
at this age. It is so refreshing to have a dance studio where they
aren't so caught up in the financial aspect to where they lose sight
of what is important... the children!!! Thank you Michelle!!!"
Michelle Autio, parent of student |
"Having worked with Michelle on the musical
stage I can see why she is such an effective instructor and coach in
the studio. With the dancers her work was professional, crisp and
innovative. With the singers and actors who have no dance background
(that's me) she was patient, encouraging and altogether delightful.
What she put together was clever, accessible and fun to do. Michelle
has the ability to draw the best out of each person's available
talent and that is the hallmark of excellent teaching."
Scott Wright, One of Mobile's top theatre performers |
"I feel Michelle's extensive professional
background and life experience will be an invaluable asset to any
performance program. Not only does she possess a wealth of
knowledge, I believe she has many other necessary qualities that
will make her a successful teacher-compassion, fairness, and a true
love of the subject matter-dance! I believe any studio full of
dancers will enjoy and benefit from their experience with Michelle."

"Michelle Meeker has assisted me with my classes
at the Broadway Dance Center in NYC and with many master classes for
many years. She has great knowledge of technique and different
styles of dance, added to that is her experience as a student and
performer which gives her a special understanding of dancers needs.
Michelle holds the perfect balance of what a teacher needs to be in
the classroom for the students to grow technically and artistically.
I highly recommend her to you."

The studio is beautiful and has wonderful sprung dance floors.
My daughter Rosemary takes Fairytale Ballet with Michelle and Tap/Ballet with Lacie. Rosemary has wanted
to be a dancer since she could walk. She loves learning to be a ballerina. Michelle and Lacie are both
wonderful instructors and really know how to nurture and naturally bring out what the children love to do. They
make formal training fun and exciting.
We are very proud to be part of the Broadway South family.
Thank-you Michelle!"

| "Broadway South is Fabulous.
Mattea is definitely having a great time at Broadway South!
I am very, very pleased with our experience there. I feel like she has learned
more in the two months she’s been there than in the entire year she spent at another
longtime Mobile studio (name removed). I really appreciate the way that Christal makes
them redo the steps to help them get them -That’s what teaching should be. Mattea’s teacher
last year was really sweet, but at the recital we noticed that only one or two kids in every
one of her classes’ numbers would know the routine. I couldn’t tell that Mattea learned
anything. She struggled through the entire recital, having to turn her head the entire time
to watch the one girl who knew the routine well. Of course, that was the only chance all
year we got to see what she was doing. She had fun in class, but I don’t think she learned much.
Again, thanks! You have a great studio – I tell people that a lot!
Melinda Pierce,
Mom of Mattea
