Reviews
"My daughter has danced at Academy since she was 3 and is now a graduating senior. Not only has she learned good technique across all styles from ballet to tap, modern, jazz, hip hop and contemporary her fellow dancers and teachers are a second family. She has learned skills far beyond dance that she will take with her as she moves into adulthood. Rather you want to dance professionally or are dancing for the joy of dance Academy meets dancers where they are at and helps them achieve their goals."
"The Academy has afforded my daughter the best dance experience since we moved to the studio 5 years. Not only has her training been customized to her readiness, but it has been body positive, with a focus on doing things the right way to prevent injury. They have helped my daughter not only reach her dance goals, but support her in life."
"I'm learning ballet as an adult, Ms. Claire is very accommodating, helpful and gives the corrections I need. Rates are affordable too. Edit: I just wanted to come back to say how much I've enjoyed the classes! I feel challenged and motivated with each lesson, and the private instruction was exactly what I needed to improve my technique. Love love love this studio!"
"Our daughter just started in the kinder dance class and she absolutely loved it! The teachers were awesome! Miss Lily in the front was so helpful with getting her registered. We are looking forward to more fun classes!"
"My daughter had her first dance class the other day, and she was very shy and didn’t do a lot of the things Miss Anna was teaching, but Miss Anna was patient with her and still tried to make her feel included. We signed our daughter up for dance classes through the summer and she is so excited! I also really appreciate the ease of getting my daughters trial class set up, they were flexible with me when I needed to reschedule and still made it happen for my daughter. We’re currently in the process of finding a preschool for my daughter, and I wish it could be as easy as setting this dance class up, was."
