I can't say enough about Turning Pointe. My daughter's teacher was wonderful, and taught her so much. The staff truly gets to know each family, making everyone feel welcome. I feel that not only are they teaching our children to be beautiful dancers, they are instilling a confidence in them as well.

Is it really and truly worth it to have a dance recital in the middle of a pandemic? It landed up with parents being on top of each other (not a great idea) and missing kids that (worked hard) wisely decided not to show up. Really hope no one got sick which is nothing to take lightly.
