Fleur de Lis Academy

Love Love Love Fleur de Lis academy. Miss Michelle is truly amazing and the children just love her, as do I. :)

Fleur de Lis Academy is a great choice for children of all ages to learn dance fundamentals as well as manners and etiquette. My daughter who is 7 has been dancing since we she was 3, and has come very far thanks to owner Michelle Sperry and her team. This year Michelle has introduced Connecticut theater Ballet for those interested in developing their skill for performing arts which is very exciting! The children not only perform in annual shows but also invited to perform at other local events like West Rocks middle Schools epic Elf play and political gatherings to name a couple. Each student plays a part in the annual Nutcracker to get us all into the holiday spirit.
This studio specializes in ballet, an art of precision and exactness per the American Academy Ballet, Michelle invests many hours to ensure the curriculum supports just that. Being a ballerina in the Boston Ballet previously affords the exposure to a network of elite dancers and teachers to enhance the talent of each and every ballerina.
So if you are looking for a high quality, dedicated and family oriented dance experience for your child of any age it’s worth the look, you will not be disappointed.
Michelle is a wonderful person and friend and is great role model for girls growing up in a world filled with adversity and complexity, she focuses on the basics as a foundation and stays grounded in her principles always!!!

This will be my daugter’s third year dancing with Miss Michelle at Fleur De Lis Academy. When she started, Cailtyn was only 4 years old. We had previously had her enrolled at Ballet de Enfants in Stamford, but found the instructor to be very off putting and unfriendly. My daughter hated it and we pulled her from the program (with no refund) before it was over. (I’m not surprised that studio is now closed!) After a few months, my daughter started begging to do ballet again, with a new teacher. I looked into a few places and ended up choosing Fleur De Lis. My daughter couldn’t be happier. She absolutely loves Miss Michelle, who has an amazing way with all of her students. Everyone I’ve spoken with says the same thing — that their child ADORES Miss Michelle. Last year we did a manners class and my daughter makes sure we always eat dinner with «no elbows on the table!» Caitlyn loves ballet so much she asked to have her 6^th birthday party there, which took place earlier this week. Again, Fleur de Lis did not disappoint. The party was so fun for the girls and easy for the moms! If you’re looking for a nurturing environement for your child to acquire a love of dance this is definately the place!

My wife and I can’t express in words what a magical place Fleur de Lis is and what a wonderful teacher Michelle is, she is so caring and patient. Our daughter Mila is happy, learning and loving ballet.

If I could give more stars to Fleur De Lis I would. This place is a gem in Fairfield County and my daughter has been enrolled in classes since they opened. The owner, Michelle, is warm, patient, creative and such a wonderful teacher. Classes here are the highlight of my daughter’s week! We try and attend all of the Academy’s events from Holiday parties to their wonderful recitals. Who knew my daughter would be dancing on stage at 3 yrs old! What an amazing experience she is having. I highly recommend Fleur De Lis Acadmey, we plan on taking classes here for a long time.
