I wanted to say how grateful we are for Studio A! Our daughter has participated in recreational dance at the studio for the last 3 years and has grown tremendously thanks to the dedication of the studio owner (Angela) and the entire Studio A staff! The studio offers a variety of classes for recreational dancers and the growth of these dancers from year to year is tremendous! We look forward to many more years at the Studio!

This being the first dance place we've been too, it's hard to say for sure, but it seems expensive to me. However, my daughter loves it and everyone seems nice and good so far. On top of the monthly fees, you also get hammered with a costume rental fee for their recital. I guess that would make sense for older kids, but why 4 year olds need rentals is beyond me. Why couldn't the little ones just all buy a simple matching leotard?

Very good technique at this studio. Their hip hop is so creative and their ballet/lyrical is beautiful!! This years acrobatic dance was OUTSTANDING. I heard the other moms and audience members comment on how versatile and talented the Studio A girls were. Teachers and assistants take the time to equally help all the students. They are so patient and kind to the children. Their high energy is great for keeping the little ones attention. I've been to two recitals and two dance competitions and I have to say their song selection and choreography is my favorite in the area!! You can easily view routines

Joining Studio A was one of the best decisions we have ever made for our daughter. It is a professional atmosphere from the minute you walk in the door with an owner who is kind, talented and encouraging of her students. Every instructor is beautiful trained and dances with the students in each class, showcasing a true example of what dance is. The morale, ethics and professionalism of this studio is top notch. The owner runs an amazing establishment rooted in humility, encouragement and opportunity for growth and we are so honored to be part of the amazing Studio A family.
