We put our 3 year old daughter in Jazzn Place this January. It is her first experience with dance classes and she absolutely loves it. She loves Miss Annie and asks me every day if it is dance class day. She cant wait for recital and is excited to come back again this fall.

Jazzn Place has been an amazing dance studio for my 3 year old! Her teacher, Mrs. Liesel is so patient with my daughter and makes her feel included if shes having a rough day. They focus on lots of techniques suitable for my little girl, while also letting them dance around and show their personalities! I love that they allow parents to watch the children during their dance class through a window, so we can personally see what they need to work on more. The owners are very good about sending out paperwork and emails regarding anything coming up that we need to be aware of. Overall, we have

My daughters first experience with dance this semester has been fantastic. Shes 3, so expectations are low as far as learning goes, but even still, she comes home excited to show me all her adorable moves shes remembering. Her teacher, Miss Annie, is so patient and sweet with her. Saint level kindness. Id recommend any young dancer just starting out and looking to try something new to come to Jazzn Place!

I cannot say enough about Jazz n place dance studio! I have been completely impressed with how they handle communicating with what is happening, what you as a parent need to do, and everything else. My little girl has had two different teachers and they both have been amazing. They are on top of things, even as covid hit, I was still over the top impressed as they rolled with the punches and were still able to give the girls a recital. Im definitely keeping my dancer here indefinitely!
