My daughter Lily has spent many wonderful years at Hathaway Academy. The teachers are first class and the concentration on technique is impeccable. Not only has Lily learnt technique, but also has a healthy respect for her teachers, the art of ballet, and the discipline needed to excel. She just loves every teacher she has had there and being cast in the Nutcracker each year has been truly magical. If you are looking for a school that cares about the training of your child then look no further than Linda and Kirt Hathaway... you wont ever regret it!

I took at Hathaway for a little under 4 years. Before taking lessons here, I had no idea what I was doing. I was 12 years old at the time and was severely behind. I loved ballet, though, and I wanted to catch up to my age level desperately. All my teachers (Kurt, Linda Brown, and Micki Saba primarily) took me in and worked hard on me. By the time I left, I was in the top modern class and company, and I was barely behind in ballet. I left to pursue musical theatre, and because of their training, I was cast in top dancing roles in many productions. No one could tell I had only taken dance for 4 years prior to entering college.
