Xcape Dance Academy 1416 West 7th Avenue, Eugene, OR 97402

"My words are insufficient to mention all the wonderful aspects of Xcape Dance Academy! Vanessa Fuller has created an absolute gem in our community. My son has been dancing here for six years, starting when he was just four, and his love for tap dancing has only grown stronger. We felt more than welcomed; as we walked inside the studio, we felt a sense of belonging, something challenging, if not impossible, to find here in Eugene, OR, especially for minorities as we are Black Latin@s. Now that he is on the team, Xcape Dance Academy feels like a family with event-tiered knocks. Its commitment to inclusivity and diversity sets Xcape Dance Academy, Mrs. Vanessa Fuller, and this dance studio's staff apart. It's heartwarming to see children from all backgrounds united in the same room without distinction. The instructors here are excellent at fostering a sense of belonging among the students. They celebrate each child's uniqueness and encourage them to shine their way. The family-oriented atmosphere is another aspect we adore. Xcape Dance Academy feels like a second home to us. Parents are always encouraged to participate in their child's dance journey. They host family events and parent-child classes, which create beautiful memories for all of us. The growth we've seen in our son's dance skills is remarkable, thanks to the dedicated and patient instructors who go above and beyond to nurture his talent. Moreover, the sense of discipline and teamwork he's developed through dance is invaluable. In a world where it's sometimes hard to find places that truly embrace diversity, nurture talent, and build a strong sense of community, Xcape Dance Academy stands out as a shining example. Look no further if you're looking for a place for your child to grow into a confident and empathetic individual. We couldn't be happier with our experience here and look forward to many more years at Xcape Dance Academy."

"Xcape Dance Academy is not only a dance studio, it is the non judgmental safe space where healing, education, fun, growth, and excitement happen. The vision of the Owner and Director, Vanessa Fuller, is felt through the students, the teachers, and the families of both. I started dancing 3 years ago with Xcape, after not dancing for over a decade, and the dedication of growth, the support that’s given, the encouragement, and the training that is provided from Vanessa, and all the teachers, has helped me become closer to my personal and professional goals. Xcape is a place where kids feel safe to be creative and expressive and learn focus, discipline, teamwork, while increasing their self esteem, creating community, and winning competitions with each other. There is no other space like Xcape Dance Academy, and if you are wanting your kids, your family, you, to dance, then I highly recommend Xcape."

"We love Xcape so much! It feels like a second home for my dancer. She feels so comfortable and welcome in this space. Xcape provides so many opportunities to further training through all of their different classes and amazing teachers, guest choreographers, camps, and more! Whether you are a kid or adult, beginner or advanced, there is a space for you at this studio!"

"This is the best experience I could ever give my daughter! She has been dancing here for about 7 years, since she was 3. We love all the teachers and management. It is like a family. My daughter has been on the competition team here for going on 5 seasons now and she has grown so much. The teachers are all professional and patient with the kids. I do not see my daughter going to any other dance studio. They accept people from all backgrounds and treat every one the same. I have not had a negative experience yet and my daughter takes classes 5 days a week."

"Dancing at Xcape has been the most incredible experience of my dance career, truly. Coming from a dance background where I was shamed & pushed aside most of the time, this environment was one of the first times I actually felt at home. I was immediately taken in, treated with patience, respect, and most importantly LOVE. I had little prior formal training and within a matter of months I was dancing at an advance level. And within two years at a professional industry level. All due to the growing & supportive nature of this studio & owner Vanessa Fuller. If you are looking for students to call family and staff members that’s will guide you in your journey - this is the place. For anyone and everyone of all backgrounds. There’s no other places like this. The energy is unreal & quite frankly unmatched."
