She loved her class!!!!! I'm happy she can go somewhere to be with other kids. She was pooped after getting all that energy out. And was singing songs and dancing on the way out and the way home. 🩰💗

Perfect place for my little one to explore and learn about all types of dance! One trial class and she was hooked. The teacher was super encouraging and kind and all the other dancers and parents were so welcoming! I don’t have much experience with dance studios but this one seems like a gem!

While we have only been attending for a short time, our almost 4 year old really enjoys her weekly dance class. She is shy by nature and opens up like no other time in this class. Ms Allison is great with the young kids!!

The owner and teachers of LOVV truly care about their students and go out of their way to make each of them feel very special. My daughter (a teen) chooses to dance at LOVV because of how she is treated and the development opportunities that she has been provided. We are very glad that we made the move from another local studio to the LOVV family.
