A Dream Come True
In August of 2001, the ribbon was cut at The Pink Slipper Dance Studio in Harbourtown Center, Noblesville, Ind. Miss Michele Stewart, owner and instructor, had fulfilled her dream of creating a safe haven for all children to learn dance in a magical setting. Later, in 2018, doors opened to the new studio on Conner Street, bringing an even larger and more magical space to life.
Her passion for dance and decorating has come together for a combination of renaissance and fairytales, with a studio themed from the stories of timeless ballets featuring princesses and fairies. Every child is welcomed into the beautiful atmosphere to grow as dancers and learn valuable life skills.
Miss Michele is trained in the Cecchetti method of ballet and is a member of the Cecchetti Council of America (Professional Intermediate Level 6), as are several teachers on varying levels.
“Dance is the reason I am who I am today. Teaching and sharing that gift with others is one of the most important things I can do in life. I can’t think of anything I’d rather do more.”
The Cecchetti Method
The Pink Slipper follows the Cecchetti Method, which includes the opportunity for students to learn from trained Cecchetti teachers in order for the student to attain enjoyment, control and understanding as they progress through their ballet training.
We encourage our students to participate in the Cecchetti Examination process to assess their progress and level of proficiency, which takes place once a year after the annual Gala.
