We love the Connick School! Both of my girls have had wonderful experiences making friends and being part of a true dance family while having instruction from amazing teachers. As an adult dancer with the school I get to have fun with friends and exercise at the same time! Between the classes, camps, performances, and competitions, there are so many fun opportunities for dancers. The teachers are there to support dancers every step of the way, from brand new dancers to seasoned champion dancers. The teachers are more than just teachers-they are mentors to the kids and become such a big part

Connick School has been a great opportunity for my daughter to make friends, gain confidence and discover a passion. The staff are friendly and courteous, the classes are affordable and with multiple locations, make it easy to get to a studio from most places in the Charlotte area. Were in our 2nd season with them and are thrilled to be returning.
