The studio is clean and beautiful. Mr. Justin has an insane energy level and the kids feed off his enthusiasm for dance. My 3 year old loves him and couldn't wait for dance to start this fall season. The studio is full of diversity and offers the best environment for ALL dancers.

I drive every Monday 35 minutes for my daughter to attend class with Mr. Justin. I would drive five times that long. Mr. Justin doesn't only teach my four year old dance, he builds her self confidence, demands respect for others, and guides her through difficult emotions. I admire him and adore his program. I know my child will be a better dancer for being a part of Phoenix Rising.. More importantly, she will be a better person.

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Value
Phoenix Rising has become family to us! The patience and care that the staff pours into my daughter is forever appreciated. Her love for dance and passion for the art is due entirely to the dedication and teachings of PRDS! I would highly recommend this company to all my family and friends with little ones!

A wonderful studio and a great place for instilling the love of dance. My girls walk out of class everyday with a huge smile and saying how fast time flew by. The joy and positivity they experience while learning dance skills as well as self-confidence and self-love is amazing. There are lots of classes available in different dance styles and the most caring instructors/owners. I highly recommend this dance studio.

I am so happy that my friend recommended Phoenix Rising Dance Studio! The staff is so personable, warm and welcoming! The other dance moms made me feel very welcomed and my daughter had a great first session. She can't wait for her next session! She really enjoyed Mr. Jordyn's Hip-Hop class! Overall, I'm excited for us to have joined the Phoenix Rising Dance Studio! I highly recommended this studio!

My daughter loves dancing at Phoenix Rising Dance Studio! She struggled to fit in and feel confident at another studio, but this is where she belongs. She's grown so much in the last year and I think it's largely because of the positive culture and environment of the studio.
