Top rate dance teachers! Compassion & consideration are included in the tuition...which is extremely reasonable! If your looking for a family feel...this is the place! If your looking for quality technique to be taught to your child then sign up right away! Top notch choreography which is evident in the awards and accolades this studio has been awarded at dance competitions. My daughter is very excited to be at dance class not only because of the welcome she received from the staff but the amazing friendliness and sense of "sisterly" love she felt instantly from the other students! Great kids,

The Studio Dance Complex is my home away from home. I am so grateful to have a dance studio as welcoming, supportive, and engaging as this. Our family is huge and always looking to grow. In TSDC, I have found life-long friends, amazing teachers and role models, and countless meaningful lessons in dance, technique, and life! The teachers create an environment conducive not only to learning dance, but to having fun and making friends as we learn. I would encourage anyone who wants to have fun and grow as a dancer to join the best dance family around, TSDC!

My name is Jordyn and I've been dancing at The Studio Dance Complex now for 5 years. I love it here, the studio is like my second home. I've made many memories and friendships here that will last a lifetime. My dance team is my second family. I love my all of my teachers they always give us beautiful, winning choreography. We hold many titles and we've won many awards. Many kids dance here and they always leave with a smile on their face. We always work hard to improve our dancing skills. Nikki and Kris do their best to make us the best we can be, without all their hard work we would not be National
