This is my daughters fifth year at Prodigy Performing Arts. She takes ballet, tap, jazz, and acrobatics and attends classes twice a week. My daughter loves her dance classes and I attribute so much of that to Ms. Jody. She is a fantastic teacher. In addition to her classes, shes offered various day camps and enrichment programs during school breaks and summer. To anyone looking for a studio with small classes, even Covid safe in these times, I highly recommend reaching out to Ms. Jody!

Our daughter has been taking dance lessons from Ms. Jodi for the past 9 years, participating in studio classes as well as various camps and workshops. In our opinion, Ms. Jodi is a bedrock of the local performing arts community. Her lifelong mission has been to make dance and arts education accessible, affordable and fun for everyone. She is highly experienced and knowledgeable and the children truly cherish their time with her. We have seen Ms. Jodi mentor many up and coming dancers and performing artists over the years as well as help our own children reach for the stars in everything they

Our daughter loves Miss Jody since 2 years and she would never miss a session. Miss Jody is passionate and very professional. This is a small company, that is why, as parents, we love it too. We highly recommend Prodigy Performance.
