I just wanted to thank you for the amazing HST Teenz experience for my daughter Jen. She came home a truly changed girl - both more mature as well as much more confident. She took away so many positives from the week with you and I have been raving to everyone I know with young dancers to join the HST next year!! Keep doing what you do Menina- a very good value and a very valuable week!

The HST was not only the greatest dance experience I have ever had but also a completely unique way of giving dancers a taste of what the real dance industry is like. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Menina for allowing me to share in this once in a lifetime experience and sharing your knowledge of the industry with me. I cannot wait to reunite and see you all again! I love you all; and again, thank you so so so much Menina for the best experience of my life!
It was more than I had imagined and we fell in love with L.A. Hannah Russell learned so many things from all of the people you brought in to teach them, both in dance and seminars. Our eyes were definitely opened and opportunities feel more within our grasp. Meeting dancers from all over, people with the same passion for dance was awesome, and we have both made some wonderful friends that we hope to keep in contact with. Thank You once again, ~ Theresa Russell (mother)
HST was the best experience ever. I am so thankful for the opportunity because of all the lifetime memories I made and because of all the things I learned about dance and my future. Don't ever let this opportunity pass you by because you will never get a chance like this again.

Thank you Menina for these two weeks i've learned so much because of you and i hope i will be able to repay you for this great opportunity that you've given us. Much love and happiness to all dancers of the world now LETS TEAR THAT FLOOR APART YA'LL!!!!!!
The HST was absolutely one of the greatest things to ever happen to me. Not only was the non-stop dancing super fun, but the people I met there was incredible. Waking up in the morning and knowing that you have a full dance of dance ahead of you was actually amazing. I fully recommend this program because no one will ever regret it! ​

I'm not sure if our lives will ever be the same...the opportunities and experiences for my daughter will forever be something we will cherish. Amazingly, Maddie learned far more than just dance. I miss already being around others 24/7 who understand this world we live. Thank you HST for a lifetime opportunity!​​​​
