"My daughter enjoys going to Fieldcrest for her baby ballet classes! The experience has been a great bonding moment between my daughter and myself. Ms. Kelly is down to earth and makes the classes fun, especially when she has to keep the attention of 12 toddlers. It is affordable and understands payment plans. I plan to keep my daughter at Fieldcrest as long as possible. Keep up the excellent work!"
