“I cannot imagine a more supportive, encouraging or welcoming dance school.

Miss Marianne, Miss Isabella and all of the Dance Theatre staff are simply amazing. They truly care for their students and treat them as family. And in turn, they attract like-minded individuals in the students and families who attend. The uniform is modest and age-appropriate, as are the dance routines.

The experience, the commitment and the dedication to students, is second to none. You will not find a more nurturing, safe or positive environment for your child to dance in!”
