My daughter and her friend both started going here this year after their old studio shut down. It is much bigger, much more fast-paced, and (in their words) a lot more fun than their old one. The inside of the studio is spacious and beautiful, and the pricing is the most reasonable I've found. We couldn't be happier with Kelly Richards! I highly recommend for any dancer of any age!

My girls, Becky and Aubrey, have danced at Kelly Richards School of Dance for six years. Every time I see them perform, I am amazed. Miss Kelly's choreography is absolutely top notch, and all the students are able to execute it flawlessly due to the great training they receive. The teachers at KRSD really focus on developing technique and provide tons of individualized attention. On top of that, the school is such a warm and friendly place that my girls consider it a second home (and probably prefer it to their real home)! If you want your kids to become incredibly talented dancers in a warm, fun
