“These teachers are so much more than teachers. Lineen has held me while I’ve bursted into tears and built me up after I’ve broke down. Not only that, he’s pushed me to be better than myself, continuously giving me advice on how to move forward with the future, that’s something I can only be so gracious for.”

- Jaymee

“My daughter dances here and couldn’t be happier!  Great attitude and amazing instructors.  They’re always happy and excited to see the kids, which translates to the kid.”
