"Robin has always had the ability to teach -- I frequently had her take over for me if I was called from class to go solve production problems --- the thing I like best about her studio is that the students are respectful of their teachers, each other, their environment and most importantly their art --- as any business person, parent or teacher knows that kind of respect flows from the top down." - Norma Pera, Dance Department Head, Baltimore School for the Arts

"Thanks so much for all you have done. It 's crazy but so worth it in the end. I know people sometimes think I need my head examined when I talk about her dance and rehearsal schedule. But, our girls are really lucky to have found something they enjoy, and to be a part of so many people - kids older and younger, moms, dads, teachers - working very hard toward a common goal. It requires more practice and teamwork than any sports team I can imagine. These kids are really lucky to experience this at such an early age. What a great way to gain confidence and understand commitment. Thank you so much for helping make this possible for Anna. See you guys at the next practice!"
- Kim Fairbend

"Dear Ladies, I wanted to compliment you on a beautiful day. The building's atmosphere made it so very special. The piano was lovely. It is always a thrill for us to see all the students perform. Thank you again!"
- Beth Lansinger Emami

"Thanks, Robin. Julianna really enjoyed the class on Wednesday and is excited to be joining Dance Foundations this summer. I have to tell you that I am so impressed with the way that you run your program. Julianna did the Spring recital last year and the Christmas show this year and we are really looking forward to this year's show. I know how much effort you put into this, and it shows. We are going to my friend's daughter's ballet recital [different school] tomorrow evening and she was telling me how chaotic the dress rehearsal was tonight and how the show doesn't seem ready. Anyway - I wanted to let you know that we're so happy to have found EMC and look forward to many more years."

"Today I took my mother & daughter to a musical dinner theater production. Rather than just sit starry eyed in the audience enjoying the entertainment, I found myself thinking things like this . . . This choreography would be great for the teens at EMC these dancers are no better than ours! Oh my God, that girl has a huge hole in the top of her tights that I could see in the audience! Robin would yank her off the stage! Didn’t anyone notice that the dresses are frayed at the bottom and need some serious trimming? Where is Kim Schmitt with her scissors???? Wow, that was a really quick “quick change” Good, good, keeping dancing all the way to the wings! Nice props – I wonder how they secured those risers? Nice character t-straps – OOOHHHH, black Character taps - fancy!!!! Oh no! See the bandage under that girl’s tights? I wonder if she is icing in between shows? Ummmmm, not really in synch with the arms – need more oomph! So, I ask you . . . What have you done to me??? I think that you have created a true dance mom completely without me knowing it!!!!!!
- Kim Matthews

"Dear Robin- I just wanted to share our appreciation with your staff and you for Saturday’s recital. I was so impressed with the level of professionalism and beauty of the performance. As you stated when we signed up this fall, the girls were “girls” not “barbies” and the costumes as well as the music were more than appropriate. The latter was something that we saw as issues in the last dance studio if you recall. The choreography was well developed and the girls/boys really seemed to be enjoying themselves! I am so glad that my daughter is participating at EMC (and she is too!). Thanks go to your staff and you for making a few hours on this busy weekend a very festive time." -A Happy Parent

"Katelyn skipped into voice class tonight and was even happier afterward. She came home and sang all night. She had to go to my mom's house and sing her warm up, "Humpty Dumpty" and "Billy Boy". She absolutely LOVES it! How lucky we are to now have music as an option at EMC. What an awesome addition! Thanks!"
-Jean Dixon

"Nikolay had his guitar lesson last night and loved it! The instructor was wonderful with him and he has been practicing what he learned all day! My other two can't wait for their first lesson! Chalet gave me a tour of the music wing and it is amazing! What a perfect space for music classrooms! I'm sure once the word gets out about the music program, it will grow in leaps and bounds! Great work!"
- Amanda Krug

"Robin, I just wanted to tell you that Saturday afternoon's production far exceeded any of my expectations!!!! I am so happy that we found EMC. It is nice to know that Keara has a place where her love of dancing and performing will truly be nurtured!!! Thank you and all of your staff for all your hard work and dedication!!!!"
- Teresa Szczepanski

"You really run your establishment with the esprit du corps of a true 'community centre', while maitaining high standards of excellence in the arts. I am so inspired by you, Robin! Keep up all your fabulous work. You are an exceptional woman making a great difference in your corner of the world" - Flo Alevras

"Robin has worked tirelessly over the years to develop and refine the Experimental Movement Concepts progam. Her comittment to quality preprofessional dance training has remained unwaivering throughout the evolution of both the Baltimore and the New Freedom, PA studios. As a parent of two dancers I have found her to be solution oriented, respectful, and genuine in her relationships. Even with the thriving dance program, she continues to seek out and develop additional arts programs to offer through the studio that enrich and nurture the whole self, both for children and for adults. As a person, she is easy to talk to, has a great sense of humor, is dependable, and loyal. She has an enormous work ethic, and her energy inspires those around her!" - Kim Schmitt

"I highly recommend Experimental Movement Concepts under the direction of Robin Snyder-Wiencek. My child's experience and training as a member of the EMC studio and Susquehanna Youth Ballet has been superior and served as preparation for her student acceptance at the Baltimore School for the Arts for the 2008 high school year." - Cindy Potter

"My daughter has been dancing with EMC for 7 years. I have never been disappointed. The progress my daughter has made is over the top. The first rectial my daughter was in, My husband only went to support her. He walked out of that theatre that night amazed. He has never missed a show since. Not only for our daughter but because he enjoys watching the art of dance. Robin is very devoted to EMC. I am proud that my daughter is part of EMC. I promise that you will only get the best there." - Kristy Viars

"Robin is one of the few people in my life whom I recognize as a role model. I look up to her as a beautiful and strong woman successfully living her dreams in this "man's-world." Robin is a prime example of how success is possible through hard work and passion. She gives 100% of herself to the studio and the parents and students who help make her dream possible 100% of the time. There's no other person for whom I would rather work. I HIGHLY recommend Robin Snyder-Wiencek." - Ashley Wehrle

"My daughter has been at EMC in New Freedom, PA since Robin started in that location. I am very impressed with Robin and how she manages everything at EMC. She is easy to communicate with and is open to all comments. Robin truly cares for all her students and this philosophy shows in her management style. She is always inclusive of everybody and requires the same from others, a quality I admire. Her productions are always top notch at professional venues, giving the performers exposure to all aspects of the production. At EMC Robin not only fosters dancing skills, she fosters the students love for the art of dance as well." - Kevin Warner

"Being a dancer at EMC is definitely one of the highlights of my life! The studio has such positive energy! Robin has been able to create a very professional yet relaxed atmosphere-a balance that most struggle with. The instructors are talented and patient, recognizing each student's unique learning style and potential. Robin is a dedicated and successful business owner as well as mom. This shows in all that she does. EMC teaches values that go far beyond being a dancer! Robin has created (earned and deserves) a reputation that no studio around can compare to!" - Jennifer Crocker

"We are very fortunate to have such a great place so close to home! EMC is wonderful! My kids enjoy their classes, the teachers are wonderful and the instruction they receive is first rate! We love the personal attention we receive and we really feel like we are part of a family when we are there!"
- Amanda Krug

"All of the time and expense that went into the spring concert was worth it when after the show a very tired but very excited little girl said, "Thank you Mommy and Daddy- I LOVE to dance!" Even at 6 years old, she understood that all her hard work was worth it. All the dancers did an incredible job. What a professional show!" - Betsey Wilson

"Our daughter had a wonderful year at EMC. I love that, even as a 4-year-old, my daughter's class was treated so professionally. It made her feel like a 'real dancer.'" - Cara Achterberg
