My daughter began tap and jazz lessons here a few months back and so far it's been really great. If you're looking for a positive, encouraging environment for your child to learn dance, this is the place.

In addition to the consistently excellent dance instruction, the production values at the end of year performances are superb, rivaling professional... read full review
