Michelle Riportella is a hard working, talented and kind individual. She is always willing to go the extra mile and she encourages, teaches and compliments all the students she has worked with. My daughter danced since she was 2 and now she is almost 21. Michelle was her first teacher and her ultimate inspiration. She credits her love of dance and tenaciousness to Michelle. Michelle was always willing to work overtime, put her heart into all she does and ensure that the final product was second to none! She knows many talented people in the dance community and will put all her connections to use when necessary. She warms the hearts of children of all ages as well as their parents and her peers.
