I have been taking lessons at The Dance Studio for 8 years now and have had a great experience here. When I first started taking lessons, Mrs. Debbie was very welcoming and has continued to make sure I've felt comfortable ever since. This studio is where my love for dance began, and when I was entering high school Mrs. Debbie encouraged me to try out for my school's dance team. Being a member of my school's dance team the entirety of high school, I am extremely grateful that Mrs. Debbie believed in me and supported me throughout the process. This studio has given me a strong foundation in ballet

I am a mom of 4 daughters. The oldest one is 16. All of my 4 daughters have been with the Dance Studio since they were 4 or 5. They all enjoy the classes, teachers and classmates in this wonderful studio. The teachers are all very friendly and skillful. The director, Ms. Debbie is especially thoughtful and considerate. She listened to all of my concerns and tried her best to meet my requests. My daughters are all national fencers so they trained and traveled for fencing competitions a lot. They also love to dance so they don't want to give up dancing because of busy and inflexible fencing

I really enjoyed my experience here. The teachers are great, and they give constructive feedback. I also do color guard and we have to be able to dance, so I came here to improve myself. I have not danced since I was in second grade, but the teachers were encouraging, so I caught on quickly. They have strengthened my basics while helping me become more accurate. I also really enjoy the combination moves that we do because they challenge me to step out of my comfort zone and become better. Ive become more confident in dancing, and I can now more quickly grasp new choreo. Both my parents and I

If I could, I would give this place 10 stars! If you are looking for a great place for your kids, then, this is the place you should look up. The teachers are really happy, friendly, have fun exercises that are age appropriate and all of the kids had a blast. I really loved that they gave extra attention to the kids who need a little extra instruction. Especially teacher for pre- ballet and ballet 1& 2.

After investing 1.5 year at the dance studio, I'm pretty disappointed that my daughter hasn't learnt much. Very basic steps, no ballet postures or terms were introduced. Language is a barrier with the teacher and most of the dance choreographed is asian ballet. The director kept convincing that its pre ballet level and that they will learn eventually at higher levels. So, I just waited. My bad. Their main stage performance was an eye opener. The choreography lacked synchronization in general. Pre-ballet 24 kids overcrowded the stage and there wasn't enough room for the kids to show off their talent

You rarely find a ballet studio that strikes a balance between skills and creativity. Ms. Debbie does just that. She encourages the children to do their best and fosters their love of learning. My older daughter started dancing in her studio since age 4, she could now (9 years old) create her dance routine to a song of 4 minutes long. When asked what the difference is between Ms. Debbie's studio and other studios, my daughter said, "In other studio, they only pick the best one to be the star in a recital. In Ms. Debbie's class, everyone can be a star." If you want your child
