Miss Arrah made my daughter's first year of dance an AMAZING experience for her. Now she wants to keep doing it every year! Miss Kerri went above and beyond to make sure she had her dance costumes ready in time… for the recital and for that.... I am extremely grateful! I'd recommend The Dance Academy of McDonough 1000 times over to anyone!

I’ve noticed Abby loving Dance more and more everyday. She loves her teachers and friends. She’s excelled and grown so much since being a part of the Dance acadamy. Thank you so much ! I recommend this Dance acadamy to anyone and everyone who’s thinking of signing their child up for Dance. They’re awesome and a loving group. ********** I personally give a 10 star
