Miss Donna, Thank you thank you thank you for all you do for these kids and in my daughter. She has grown so much! She loves dance and looks forward to coming back next year too! You will also have her sister!
I hope you always know and never forget how much what you do means. We feel it so very much given our journey with L. Her first few years consisted of doctors appointments and a pandemic. My heart is so full watching her be able to just be a regular kid.
Hi Donna!
Just wanted to thank you for putting on a fantastic program and for a fantastic year. Sophie absolutely loved the class and has already told me she wants to do ballet again next year. This was such a good thing for her and we just wanted to say thank you again!!
Hello Miss Donna,
I couldn’t be more thankful that we found your studio when we did. She met some of the most incredible friends but most importantly you, the most dedicated dance teacher and mentor! Your studio has been a second home to her/us for so many years and we both will miss it beyond words. I knew this day would come (finishing High School) but still not ready for this chapter to be done – I tear up every time I think about it!
Thank you again for all you have done for Alexis, I am forever grateful!
Miss Donna
You have no idea the imprint you have helped place on our little girl. For their birthday I got them a modular 6by6 tap floor and we have seen I am a Bat about 100 more times since the recital.
She was teary leaving the arts center because she said she is going to miss you. When we drive by the dance studio at the moment the little eyes water. You really made a mark on her. Thank you so very much for all you do for these kids.
The recital was great!!!
Julianna was so excited to watch all of the other dancers and had a great time up on stage.
She had a great first year with HDA and she is already looking forward to returning in September!
Thank you all for making her first year of dance such a wonderful experience.
Thank YOU for a wonderful year and another amazing recital. We are so happy to be a part of HDA!
He loves and respects you so much….you mean so much to him…….I’m so glad he has you in his life….thank you for everything
Thank you, I can’t tell you how much she has appreciated all the rope you have given her to stick with dance and at the same time be a student and athlete at a school that that does not always make it easy to do things beyond the CCHS circle due to location and schedules.
Dance has been a joyfully place for her, it is a second home for her. I had to write a letter to her for the retreat and I will share with you that one of the things I wrote is that I love about her is the smile on her face when she dances. When she dances even if every move is not perfect that fact that she projects that joy, for me anyway comes across and nothing as a parent is more satisfying than watching your child smile like that. So thank you for investing so much time and energy into Emily! I do believe you are somewhat a product of the people you chose to associate with and I could not have asked for a better environment for the not only Emily but all the dancers and you are responsible for that!
You are so wonderful. Thank you so, so much for this. It really means a lot to me. I appreciate you and everything that you do for the people in and out of the studio I hope you have a wonderful summer, and I will see you soon!
Thank you again
Thank you for all that you and Miss Andrea do to make each child’s experience amazing!!!! I am very thankful to you both!!
Thank you for everything Donna. You are an amazing teacher and role model for these students. I appreciate your hard work, dedication, talent and level of caring and compassion you continue show throughout the years. My girls are very lucky to have you!
Enjoy your summer!
I wanted to thank you for all you have done for Destiny!! She looks at you like a second mom. I am grateful that you were able to be a positive influence in her life and help guide her into who she is becoming as a person! Thank you again! It was a wonderful 14 years being at your studio! Good luck to all of your future classes
Thank you so much for being such a wonderful role model and supporter of Nat for the last 15 years!
Today, Audrey was playing a question game with Troy and me. One of the questions was “have you met your idol?” Her answer was yes, Miss Donna is my idol.
Thank you for being a great idol for my baby girl.
The recital might of just ended but I needed to send a message before i went off to work! HDA put on a amazing show today, so much talent, thank you for allowing Kayleigh to come early and see what great talent there is. Kayleigh has been dancing for 5 years and this is her 3rd dance studio and it is by far the most professional and talented studio she has gone to. I am excited for her to start again in the fall! Thanks to you and your staff for making Kayleigh’s first year at HDA so memorable!
Thank YOU Donna and Andrea! It was a beautiful recital seeing all the hard work and joy from all the kids! So proud of them all and thank you for your dedication, heart, vision and encouragement you give to all!
Have a lovely and relaxing summer!
Thank YOU, Miss Donna, Miss Andrea and all of the HDA family! Not just for an amazing recital, but for such a positive and loving environment for my daughter to grow up in. They say it takes a village and I’m so blessed to have found you all!
Our family has a deep appreciation for HDA and the professionalism shown towards each parent and student. You and your staff strive to ensure that every student benefit from a positive experience. You run a great studio and it’s obvious your love of dancing as well as your love for your students. We can not thank you enough for your very hard work and determination. We Love it at HDA!
My daughter has been dancing at Hampstead Dance Academy since she was 3 years old. Dance has been beneficial for her. It has helped her with coordination and memorization skills. Most of all it has helped her confidence. Confidence to stand up in a group of people and deliver an oral presentation. Confidence to dance in a recital or dance competition. Thank you Hampstead Dance Academy for instilling self-esteem and confidence in the children at your academy.
I enrolled my daughter in dance classes five years age at HDA to gain some self confidence. Not only has she fulfilled her goal, she has established some dear and lasting friendships. She looks forward to every dance class and often makes us arrive early! Donna Schipani is not only a talented and dedicated teacher, she’s a role model that I’m proud to have my daughter look up to!
We are extremely pleased to be part of Hampstead Dance Academy. Over the past eight years, my daughter has been encouraged and inspired to reach her full potential. She has blossomed from a small, uncertain child into a determined, confident and skilled dancer.
The students at Hampstead Dance receive exceptional training from accomplished and experienced dance educators who love what they do. That love of dance and teaching is reflected in each and every one of their students. We love being part of the Hampstead Dance family!
