"Laura is a consummate professional. In addition to being a tremendously skilled dancer and teacher, she  has a natural ability to direct both the students AND parents in a kind but firm manner. The atmosphere in the studio is both professional  (no time is wasted, classes begin and end as scheduled) and enjoyable. The older students who assist Laura are especially inspiring to the younger dancers.  My daughter LOVES her ballet class and she has learned SO MUCH about dance."   - Deb Coulombe

"Turning Pointe Dance Studio is a local treasure. Turning Pointe challenges and inspires my son more than any other sport, camp, or art activity he's been involved in, and there have been a lot!
Turning Pointe offers high caliber dance and artistic training that is normally to be found only in big urban centers. One friend who recently enrolled her daughter in Turning Pointe said the difference between the dance school she came from and TP was like night and day, Harvard compared to high school.  I have always told people that even if you didn't know anyone dancing at Turning Pointe, coming to the a performance would be well worth the price of admission. I know lots of parents who wouldn't say that about their child's dance studio's annual performance. Laura's rare combination of focus, commitment to excellence and exceptional artistic gifts motivate children of all ages. Thank you Laura for bringing your talents back to the Cape!" - Trish White

"As a school teacher, I recognize that Laura understands the importance of a balance between high expectations, positive reinforcement, and enjoyment.  Laura Sciortino is a role model, as are her older students, who foster aspirations for the younger students, such as Hannah.  Our daughter has improved by 'leaps and bounds,' both literally and figuratively, since her first year with Miss Laura!" - Lynne Buscher

“Laura - you have given your students so much more than the gift of teaching their bodies to sing. You have taught them dedication & perseverance. To develop themselves to their full potential, regardless of what others' are saying or doing, all while working in unison with a variety of dancers. What a precious gift!” - Donna Dragos

“Laura Faria is not only a talented and accomplished ballet dancer, she is also a gifted teacher who is comfortable working with preschoolers, adults, and every age in between.  She always individualizes instruction, and improves the skills of all of her students, from basic beginners to advanced dancers, with patience, kindness, and enthusiasm.  She has been a wonderful role model for my children.” – Anne Edgar
