Have been with Strong Dance Studios for a little under a year. We started when my daughter was in kindergarten and she loved trying different classes to see which teacher and/or dance class she wanted to learn. Teachers respect each student by addressing every single of of the dancers as "Miss __". With mutual…

I have been bringing my girls to Strong dance studio for dance lessons for the past 2 years. I am very grateful for this studio and for the variety of classes that they offer! We have taken tap, contemporary, ballet, and Aerial silks. My girls have been taking ballet with Ms. Victoria this season and I really appreciate her teaching style. She is very attentive to their form and body posture and technique, yet does it in a fun and gentle way. She doesn't allow them to get away without a pointed foot! I really feel that their ballet technique will improve thanks to her guidance. My girls also take aerial silks with Ms Tiffany. I cannot say enough about this wonderful teacher. She is passionate about Aerial and my girls absolutely love her class! She's a great teacher because she actually demonstrates the moves, guides the students when they need direction or instruction, and is always very attentive to their safety. As a mother, I appreciate that the most! Aerial can be a daunting sport to start, but she makes it fun and is very encouraging to help them try new moves. My girls are advancing quickly thanks to her direction and leadership. I'm grateful to Ms Rachel, Ms Maribel and the rest of the admin team who works tirelessly in the background. Whether that is helping you with registration, getting costumes arranged for shows and photoshoots, and/or helping you with make-up lessons, they are accommodating and always very helpful when you email them. Lastly, I just have to talk about their Nutcracker performance. It is absolutely stunning! They do their holiday Nutcracker show to a live orchestra and it is and incredible experience for your dancer to be part of such a beautiful production. It is well choreographed, the costumes are superb, and the entire artistry of the show is well put together. They work very hard on this performance and it really shows. The kids look forward to it every season and it is a joy to watch from the audience. Thank you Ms. Rachel for creating a studio to carry on the passion of dance to our next generation. I know you are working very hard to try to make it a great experience for our dancers and for our families, and we do appreciate all your hard work. Thank you for sharing the gift of dance and giving these opportunities for our kids to grow!

Charging money without your permission so be careful to give them your credit card. Asking by email without response. Getting $25/kid for racial without giving you videos or pictures. If your kid does not join racial, they will put your kid as audience without dancing practice. If your kid joins racial, you need to pay total $200. Hope I can give them 0 start.

10 stars if possible. Where do I begin between the amazing staff and inviting accommodations? We've only attended 4 classes, but I feel like we've been there for years. My 4 yo woke up one day and decided she must go to ballet, so much so that I arrived home to a toddler all decked out in a thrown together outfit ready to go to class. Unfortunately, I found wait lists or closed studios due to Covid. She was dissapointed, but we agreed I'd find a class the next day. Somehow I came across Strong Dance and what a GEM! It was so last minute, I called and sent a text at 345 to see if a class was open at 430, I heard back at 4pm that there was an opening, and I was told to come on down! I saw online they offered 5 free classes, but decided not to fuss because I just wanted to get my ballerina in and decided to pay. She had no ballet attire or appropriate shoes so I expected that when we arrived I'd be told she can't enter the studio w/o proper attire unless we buy from their collection of shoes and then sign on the dotted line. But, it was no such thing! They happily greeted us at the door, took our temps and sanitized our hands, they led my little girl into class and even offered Clean shoes to borrow as long as we needed!! They didn't even ask for paperwork! All they cared about was getting her in and having a great time. They totally won our hearts. My little said she wants to go everyday! Lastly, I went to settle payment and was told, "oh, please take advantage of the free classes."(omg- -what?)"Try the other classes to see which one your little enjoys the most and see which teacher she jives with best". They killed us with kindness in all aspects. Ms Rachel is amazing. All the instructors in fact are so bubbly and positive. They literally radiate joy and love. And I've never seen so many toddlers in one space actually pay attention, it's absolutely adorable. I can't say enough about this studio. Everyone is so lovely! I definitely recommend Strong Dance!
