Dance Expressions

"There aren't enough words of praise and love in the dictionary to describe my families experience with Dance Expressions Dance Studio!!!!!!!!! The director and her staff are TOP NOTCH. There is no better place for your children to learn the art of dance!!!!"

"We LOVE Dance Expressions! One of the biggest lessons we want our daughter to learn is that she is strong and can do hard things. Dance Expressions has done an amazing job teaching our daughter and encouraging her to try new things, even when it’s hard. They are patient, kind and instill a love for dance and a strong work ethic while making it fun at a young age. My daughter is so happy here, and so are we. We have another studio in town but travel here because we believe it is truly the BEST!"

"My daughter started taking classes here when she was in third grade. She was recovering from a pretty bad broken arm, and had some pretty extreme anxiety as a result. When I signed her up for a class, I was hoping it would help boost her confidence and help to ease her anxiety above anything else. What we got, however, was much more than that. My daughter is finishing up her 3rd year at Dance Expressions, and each year we add in additional classes and she even joined the dance team because she loves to dance here so so much. Over these last 3 years I have seen my daughter work harder than she’s ever worked before, step onto a stage with confidence, and walk into a room with her head held high. This last September, my daughter suffered through a great loss, her one month old baby sister passed away from a congenital heart defect and my daughter was devastated. I was so worried that her anxiety would take hold and this time, not let her go. Instead, my child danced through her grief and Dance Expressions, the coaches, and staff were there to help her through it and I am SO thankful for that. In just three years, I have watched my daughter grow into someone with confidence and determination. She’s made SO many long lasting relationships, and learned many valuable skills. Yes, we pay for the classes, shoes, costumes, etc, but what we get in return is worth far more than any amount of money we could pay."

"I wish I could rate Dance Expressions ABOVE 5 stars! My two older daughters are in their 21st year at this studio. Pictured, is my youngest daughter who is in her 16th year. She just earned a position on the University of Cincinnati Dance Team! They are a national and world winning team and currently rated 2nd in the nation! I give full credit to Miss Lori Downey and her incredible staff for making my daughter's dream come true! She was FULLY prepared for this intense audition in both dance skills and stress management! My daughter is one of MANY young ladies who have accomplished great things in their college and adult lives as a result of time spent at Dance Expressions Dance Studio!!!"

"We love Dance Expressions! My daughter started dancing there when she was 3 and is now entering her fifth year. She has loved all of her instructors. Miss Lori's talent and visions are top rated. She has lots and lots of patience with the little ones. I can't thank her enough for seeing my girl's potential and working so hard with her. The competition dance team has helped my daughter gain friendships from all over the Dayton area. The veteran dance moms from the studio have always been welcoming and supportive. I appreciate that everything studio-related is covered in the monthly newsletter handed out in class. We look forward to the amazing recital every year!!"
