"I have seen Dorit grow from a beautiful ballerina into one of the finest teachers in the
USA today!
Her unique qualities are being able to teach young students, advanced and company
members alike.
She works from the movement to the form, has a very keen eye and a great love of
people, it's a wonderful class! It is exciting for me to know that the future generations of
dancers are in the wonderful hands of  Dorit."
David Howard, International Master Teacher
"The strong technical background I received as Dorit's student
enabled me to pursue my dreams of becoming a professional
dancer.
Dorit allowed me to find my personal artistic expression and
simultaneously taught the disciplined necessary to achieve higher
levels of technique.  These lessons shape a young dancer and
have definitely had a major influence on my own personality both
as dancer and as a person"

" As founder and director of Studio Maestro I have made it my mission to discover and acquire
teaching talent.  In sampling Dorit Koppel's class personally, I was truly impressed by her inspirational
teaching style and her ability to encourage her students to constantly strive for technical and classical
perfection. Although the technical aspect of her class is based on a strictly classical ideology, her
choreography in the center allows the students to incorporate their own creativity and artistry which is
what dance is all about"

Rose Caiola, owner and director of Studio Maestro NYC
"Dorit knows her craft, she is patient yet demanding, she gives you a thorough
and technical class each time. You can really feel yourself progressing in a class
by Dorit"
Richard R. Peirlon, teacher/choreographer/dancer
"Dorit's class is not boring.  It is FUN! It elevates the spirit, it encourages the
mind, and makes stronger the body. It makes one beyond doubt truly alive.
Dorit's class is well planned and structured. Every exercise at the barre are done
to prepare students for the grand move, the big leap. In Dorit's class everything is
done to equip a student to become free in motion- to dance. Here I think that
Dorit's experience with modern dance also pays off. Every combination that Dorit
creates is full of flow, air inspiration, vitality, sensitivity, lyricism and profound
musicality."
Nina Siyanko, former soloist with Kremlin and Moscow
