“Our daughter, Haley, readily developed a genuine rapport of friendship and respect with Darlene.  Darlene exemplifies a natural enthusiasm and warmth towards others, which encourages open and honest relationships among both children and adults.  We feel that her personal expertise in dance and theater have been invaluable and benefited us through the years.  Darlene guided us through numerous school musicals, community theater auditions and high school dance team events.  With two of her children having graduated from NYU and working in entertainment fields, her information is always current and constantly updated.  Haley was fortunate to enjoy Darlene’s leadership on the prestigious award winning Barstow Knight Starz Dance Team where she was recognized her freshman year as a regional solo dance finalist. Continuing under Darlene’s guidance, Haley then won both regional and national solo dance championships during her sophomore year.  Our family highly recommends Darlene as an accomplished teacher and advisor with quality skills, personal humor and charm.  You will find her to be positive, knowledgeable and inspirational.”
