We have absolutely loved Eminence Dance Co. I have 2 daughters who have taken here for about two years and they have loved it! My third daughter is just starting this year as well! We were at a larger studio before and didnt feel like it was the right fit. Hailey (owner) and all the instructors really care about their students and help them individually to improve their skills. Hailey provides so many opportunities for the kids beyond their normal class times, including video/photoshoots, masterclasses, choreography from highly sought after instructors, and so much more. She is also so helpful

This is an amazing studio! Hailey, the owner is so amazing and so talented. If you are looking for a dance studio that pushes their dancers to the next level and the girls have fun while they are doing it, you have found the right studio! Their choreographers for hip hop and jazz are amazing and they always have master classes that they learn so much in short amounts of time. We love Eminence!
