My daughter started ballet lessons at the Gay Wightman School of Ballet in 2018 when she was just 3 years old, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience! She absolutely loves her classes and looks forward to seeing her teacher, Miss Alisa, every week. Miss Alisa has such a gentle and encouraging way with the little ones, making them feel confident and special in every lesson. It’s been amazing to see my daughter’s joy and excitement for dance grow, and I am so grateful for the nurturing environment Miss Alisa and all the staff at the Gay Wightman School of Ballet provides!

Alisa Finney is truly an exceptional leader and mentor at the Gay Wightman School of Ballet. Her expertise in ballet is world-class, and her influence extends far beyond her studio as she coaches dance studio owners around the globe. Her dedication to both her dancers and the broader dance community is inspiring. Alisa teaches students ranging from 3-year-olds to professionals, bringing a level of passion and precision that is unparalleled. Her ability to connect with each dancer and elevate their skills is remarkable. Under her guidance,  dancers not only learn the art of ballet but also gain invaluable life skills. Alisa’s commitment to excellence and her nurturing approach make her an extraordinary asset and a true inspiration to everyone she works with.

As the parent of a 10-year-old ballet dancer, I cannot speak highly enough of the Gay Wightman School of Ballet. My child has been attending classes here for several years, and the growth she has experienced is remarkable. The instructors are not only skilled and knowledgeable but also deeply invested in each student’s progress and well-being. Their dedication to nurturing both the technical and artistic aspects of ballet has helped my daughter develop a true passion for dance. The welcoming atmosphere of the studio makes every class an enjoyable and enriching experience. I’ve seen my daughter’s confidence and grace flourish, and I am so appreciative of the positive impact the Gay Wightman School of Ballet has had on her love for dance and personal growth.
