I have been competing for six years now and we have not missed a year with Sophisticated. My parents and students rate your event #1 each year and commend you on your dedication not only to the art of dance, but our children as well. Thank you for another wonderful experience."

important to Melissa or the staff of Sophisticated Productions which is not the case for other local competition companies. I thank you so much for that!"

"Everybody was so nice - As a competition veteran, I have seen and heard so much negativity surrounding other competitions. Your staff is so pleasant, but still effective. Melissa, your Dad was a joy to talk to - he is so proud of you - and for good reason. You run a great competition, organized, professional, fair - and pleasant - what a concept! others should take lessons from you. Hope you have a great summer!"

"Melissa my students loved your competition, it was so nice to be a part of a competition that ran on time and really made each dancer feel special. Also not very many competitions give bronze/silvers, it was good to see your competition gave each dancer what they deserved. If all competitions were like this it would be a learning experience for each dancer, and give them something to work up to. Thank you for a great competition weekend, you definitely run a class A production. Loved the "Special Awards" Judge."
