Ms. Mincey is one of the most innovative choreographers & motivational teachers in the low country area. All my child would talk about is how much she enjoyed Ms. Mincey's class. She is one of the hardest working teachers I've ever met and I think she should be hired full time for DD2 district.

Zimone is an amazing choreographer & teacher. She works well with students building relationships and their trust as she teaches. Prior to being my long term sub while on mat. leave, she choreographed a piece for our dance company that was adjudicated for the Charlotte Ballet HS Dance Fest (2019).
