Samantha Heesch: Studying Dance to Perform Better In Athletics

My daughter Samantha is an avid athlete. Her coaches suggested last spring that she build up her “core”. After trying numerous exercises that did not help, I found Paulette’s Ballet Studio. At Paulette’s Sam has been enrolled in both Ballet and Jazz. Although she is not “dancer” she has gained core strength, improved balance, better agility, and coordination. That has led to Sam achieving The Coaches Award in Field Hockey. – Allison Heesch

At Paulette’s Ballet Studio I have made new friends and have had a lot of fun! When I had my first Ballet class, I could not even hold a split. Now, I can do a full split on my right side. I am so glad I am at Paulette’s because I feel more graceful and lady-like when I am at party’s or doing a speech in front of my grade. Every Thursday I get excited because I get to go to dance. I am now much more flexible and can get rebounds much quicker in Basketball – Sam Heesch
