We have been a part of the Generations family for three years now. Our experience with them has been an absolute joy. Angie et al adapted so quickly and navigated Covid restrictions so optimistically and professionally, that the pandemic only served to further confirm that our daughter is in the best hands possible. We wont go anywhere else. Their summer camps are great too!

My wife and I live in Chillicothe. We attended Christmas for the Generations at Westerville Central high School on Saturday, December 7, 2019. The quality of this show and the talent that was displayed cannot be expressed in words. We have been to professional shows that do not compare. Last year was unbelievable, this year was even better. Everyone involved should be extremely proud. The performance also fortified the belief that our young people are amazing, which gives me great confidence in the future of our country. Great job!!!!

Absolutely fantastic place to send your children to learn dance! Very well organized programs for all ages. Our oldest daughter has been going here for a few years and every instructor has been very caring and talented. Can't wait to see our next daughter join in!

These guys are the best if you are in need of some "first-wedding dance" help. My husband and I decided a week before the wedding that we needed some additional help and so we booked an hour-long private lesson at Generations Performing Arts. Within the hour, we had some basic steps to get us through the dance as well as a few additional tricks to spice things up. Our instructor was incredibly patient with us and really encouraged us throughout the hour. We left feeling confident in our abilities and excited to show off our new skills.
