Such a wonderful environment n dance family for my daughter to grow up with. We’ve been here for years n couldn’t be happier. Ms Sarah is such a wonderful example for my daughter n I love that they have her to look up to in so many ways besides just to learn to dance. They learn discipline, respect, determination, life skills, n not to sweat the… small stuff. She shows them how to navigate so much more than dance. We have definitely found the best fit for our family, n for our standards and expectations. It’s the best and I couldn’t recommend it more.

The amount of love and care these teachers have invested in my daughter is beyond words. This is where my child found friends, community and a love in her heart to express herself. She is a more well-rounded human being because of what she has learned and the friends she met here. Her confidence, dedication and what it means to work as a team are lifelong skills that I am forever grateful for and it all started here.

As a parent you hope for a professionally run academy that takes dance seriously as well as recognizing that families are part of the experience. Many different types of dance offered and the recitals are run like a professional stage event, not an after though like some others we've been a part of.
