As one of Holly’s former students, I can say with confidence that she has shaped me into a better dancer, and taught me an abundance about myself and what it is like to grow as a dancer. Her classes, in my opinion, were the most beneficial and challenging! She gives much attention to individuals as well as teaching the class as a whole. I would always walk away from class with something to work on, and something accomplished. Being a part of many choreographic pieces, I was able to dance many styles and tell many stories through Holly’s guidance. I feel privileged to have been taught for so many years from a teacher who made me a better dancer than before. Today, she still shows how much she cares about her students and guides me through my next stage in dance.”
Holly is a talented, creative dance teacher. Not only do Holly’s dance talent and choreography skills shine, but as a human being she has proven herself to be caring, compassionate, and hard working. She encourages and inspires her students to push themselves, test new boundaries, and be the best dancers (and people) they can be. Holly’s work all earned high scores, overalls and special awards when she worked with my daughter. Her dances were some of my favorite to watch!
In reflecting on my 16 years of dance studio training, Miss Holly is the first teacher that comes to mind that has had a pivotal impact on my technical dance training. Her classes always challenged me to push my technique to exceed its limits, as well as fostered an enjoyment and passion for dance. It was always clear that her classes were well though out and planned utilizing her vast knowledge of dance pedagogy. As I am moving on, I am grateful to have her support as a mentor in my own dance teaching career!
Holly Mehedin is not only a uniquely talented and creative choreographer; she is the type of instructor that goes above and beyond. She reaches for the passionate place within the dancer. Whether it is through individual, group or competition instruction, her fun and compassionate instruction allows growth, creativity, personal satisfaction and joy. I know the lessons learned carry her students well beyond the stage, and there is no greater gift to give a student. I know my family is forever touched not only by her passionate pieces, but her dedication to teaching the art of dance and the examples of following your dreams
I remember when my daughter could not wait to be strong enough to take Miss Holly’s classes! Miss Holly is a great instructor and a fabulous choreographer. Her choreography is one of a kind, and is age appropriate for skill and style level. She breaks down steps, is very patient and extremely fun in classes. She will go far, and anyone would be happy to have her as an instructor and choreographer.”
