My kids (and I) absolutely love their classes and instructors. They've not only learned dance and tumbling, but also have learned about discipline, teamwork, commitment, and friendship.

We have one all star dancer at adrenaline and our other children are in the adrenaline dance force. We are amazed not only by the dance skills our kids have learned, but the life skills as well. It is a wonderful environment, and we are so grateful for the coaching and friendships at adrenaline. If you have a child that is trying to figure out their thing, I recommend you try a year with adrenaline. Its fantastic!

My girls had a wonderful time at their one-week Princess Camp. One of my girls is easily bored and she actually loved it more than the other one. The instructors are energetic and keep the kids moving. I would highly recommend.

I'm fortunate enough to have a son that loves to dance and joining the Adrenaline All Stars program, has deeply enriched both his life and ours. This is the result of the talent, integrity and commitment of his coaches, and Jen Koonce, the studio owner. We've been with Adrenaline since they opened. We spend many hours each week at the studio, and many weekends cheering on these kids at competitions as a part of this wonderful community of parents, coaches and kids. We do win lots of competitions but even more importantly, we have a blast together, celebrating the achievements of our kids as a result

We have been with Adrenaline Dance for 4 years, my daughter started taking classes through the ADF afterschool program at her elementary school and loved it!

Our Adrenaline Story: When our daughter was 3 years old, we took her to a dance studio ten minutes away from our home. Although she'd timidly sit at a corner of her ballet class watching all the other girls dance, we continued to take her every week until one day, she was invited by one of the coaches to join the studio's All Star team. Since our daughter was only 6 years old at the time, we were initially hesitant with the commitment. But Jennifer Koonce who led the All Star program at the studio patiently answered all of our questions and assured us that our daughter would be fine. After only
