We just finished our first year of Sunshine Dance and it was such a WONDERFUL experience! My son absolutely loved his teacher Miss Brittany and the Fairytale Dance class. It was such a creative and fun class and he loved acting out different stories all while learning foundations of dance.
The recital was also such a great experience and so well done. The show flowed so well- quick transitions, a great variety of dances, and every group was so well prepared. We were blown away by the talent and heart of everyone onstage.
This is such a wonderful studio. I am a retired dancer and dance teacher, and I can tell how much love the teachers put into teaching. The owner is amazing, and the entire administrative team is so organized and kind. We love it here!
My daughter (now 15) has been dancing at Sunshine since she was 3 years old and competitively with Sunshine since she was 7. We love the teachers and staff…I’m amazed at their dedication to their students and their craft, and the improvement we see year over year in our daughter’s dancing abilities. While dance skill and technique are incredibly important, Sunshine fosters a culture to set her up for success in life, including self-discipline, time management, pursuit of excellence and teamwork. The friends she and I have made through dance will be our friends for life!
