My son is in his second round of the breakdancing class for kids 5-8 and loves it - the instructors are great and keep the kids really engaged. It’s a great opportunity to learn fun skills and build strength, flexibility, coordination, and control for other sports and activities. They also build confidence through opportunities to dance in front of (and with the support of) their entire class. 10/10 - would recommend
We have loved every minute of having my child take dance at SMAPA. Not only do the teachers have balance of fun and teaching technique (which I’ve found lacking in other studios) to the youngest dancers, they’re also very kind and nurturing! My child takes Breakdance with Mr. Irv and Mr. Gavin and Boys’ Intro to Ballet with Mr. Edgar and loves going. He’s also done their Summer camp and had a blast! He’s learning so much and I love seeing the growth in his dancing and his confidence. I’ve also taken classes there myself (Ballet with Melissa!) and walk away feeling fantastic every time! She is a treasure and a Fantastic instructor! Thank you so much!
I wanted to take a moment to express how much my daughter and I enjoy the dance classes at Sharron Miller's Academy for the Performing Arts. Sharron's passion for dance is truly inspiring, and it's reflected in the amazing teachers and engaging classes offered.
We're so excited to continue my 6-year-old daughter's dance journey at the new location. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience.
