Dropping my toddler off at Danc'letics was really her first experience doing something on her own other than daycare. There is no hesitation on her end because the staff and teachers are all so warm and friendly. She looks forward to dance class every Saturday morning and I would highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere to sign up your kids. They are great people and run a great dance program!

Dancletics is an amazing dance studio. My daughter has danced here for more than 10 years. The teachers are incredible. They truly care about what they do and they truly care about the dancers. We have built amazing friendships through Dancletics that will last a lifetime. It really is more than a dance studio, its a part of our family

This is my daughters first year of dance. She has always been an apprehensive child. Nervous to try new things. The teachers here have embraced her and really helped her to engage her at her own pace. She comes out with the biggest smiles
As a parent, one huge bonus is their consideration of age as well as schedule! They put ballet and tap back to back so you're not running to and from the studio multiple times a week. They also choose classy music so the kids aren't dancing to anything vulgar. I can't speak to experienced dancers but if you're looking for a beginners program
