Gotta Dance Studio

"I’ve been going to the studio for only about a year and it’s the best studio ever. My old dance studio was great but my last year there I had 0 friends and was having trouble keeping up with everyone else. This studio had the most amazing people and if there’s ever a dance move I’m not comfortable doing then the teacher would change it. Best. Studio. Ever."

"Hi, my name is Allie. I've been dancing at this studio since five years old, I'm now 12. The teachers at this studio are SO supportive, and have been there for me every single step of the way. I have learned everything I know about dance from them. I have grown and improved so much and thanks to them, I am now on competition team and striving for a career in the dance industry. This is the perfect studio! Thank you to all the teachers and classmates who have been there for me every step of the way!"

"My daughter has been dancing with Gotta Dance Studio for 5 years and loves it! She has learned the skills needed to become a beautiful dancer, but more importantly has gained self-confidence and courage under the care of her teachers. Miss Emily and all of the teachers truly love and care for my daughter! This year the studio developed a competitive team and it was so much fun! It was a learning experience for everyone and we are excited to continue competing next season. I think I loved it as much as my daughter because of the friendships I was able to form with the other dance mom's and dad's."

"My little girl has been a dancer at this studio for the last 7 years, and in that time Emily Kees has been a steadfast mentor, inspiring role model and a truly valued grown-up friend to her. What Emily has accomplished in our little town is nothing short of astonishing. Powering through the pandemic with outdoor recitals, entering into the crazy world of competitive dance, and managing to keep the lights on at the studio through some really rough times, I can say I'm in awe of what she's pulled off here. And watching my daughter grow and blossom as a skilled dancer, and as a person with more self-confidence and social skills that she's learned has really been worth every penny. Emily is scrappy and has a lot of chutzpah, and her infectious energy has created a family of very impressive dancers here in Shelbyville. My wife and I are forever grateful our kid has had the fortune to be part of that experience because it's one she'll carry with her the rest of her life."

"My daughter has been dancing with Gotta Dance Studio for seven years. Ms. Emily is truly one of the most positive influences in my daughter’s life. She encourages her, helps her overcome fears, and picks her up any time she’s struggling, both in the studio and out. The studio has recently become a competition team, and my daughters love for dance has become her passion. I feel that her growth and excitement are all the result of the support she’s had at Gotta Dance Studio. Highly recommend!"
