We have been a part of the bloom family for 3.5 years now. Our daughter started with a mommy/me class at 2, now shes enrolled in 4-5 classes at the age of 5 and absolutely loves dance each week. Bloom teaches the students discipline, a love for dance and most importantly Christian principles. We love their values. The staff is energetic and fun, kind and loving. They nurture the students in so many ways. We are always grateful that we found bloom and are blessed by many friendships made there both our daughter and I as a mom! You couldnt ask for a better place to enroll your dancer!

Our family really loves Bloom Dance Studio! I appreciate the wholesome Christian atmosphere, and the fact that they pray together in class is so sweet. My daughter loves coming each week for ballet! A night and day difference from the dance studios I used to attend growing up! Thank you for providing a safe place for dancers who strive to glorify the Lord in everything they do!

Best studio atmosphere!! I was a student a while back and I loved the teachers. I never felt like I wasnt good enough and I always left feeling encouraged. Im grateful for the time I had there and I would recommend putting your kids in any of the classes. Its a fun place to be and I cant wait to enroll my daughter in a year or so! They also do some fun summer dance intensives if your kid wants to try it out! So much fun for all ages!
