10 stars if possible. Where do I begin between the amazing staff and inviting accommodations? We've only attended 4 classes, but I feel like we've been there for years. My 4 yo woke up one day and decided she must go to ballet, so much so that I arrived home to a toddler all decked out in a thrown together outfit ready to go to class. Unfortunately, I found wait lists or closed studios due to Covid.
She was dissapointed, but we agreed I'd find a class the next day. Somehow I came across Strong Dance and what a GEM! It was so last minute, I called and sent a text at 345 to see if a class was open

Have been with Strong Dance Studios for a little under a year. We started when my daughter was in kindergarten and she loved trying different classes to see which teacher and/or dance class she wanted to learn. Teachers respect each student by addressing every single of of the dancers as "Miss __". With mutual respect and love, the students love the teachers and the teachers genuinely care for all their dancers and the families.
