I danced at this studio about 4 years ago and both then and now, I will say this studio is amazing. An encouraging environment for students and with fresh and new feeling choreography! The teachers care about their students. They also are great with communication and making sure parents and dancers know what they need to. I would dance again and if I had kids I'd bring them here to dance!
My daughter and I love it here. It is like a family and they are so welcoming. I would 10 out of 10 recommend them.
Love Ovation Dance! Our daughter has taken many classes here and I’ve taken private lessons. Amazing instructors who care about you and want you to succeed. Welcoming to everyone and a TON of experienced teachers.
My daughter started dancing with Ovation at the age of 4, she will be 14 in the spring. The staff have been nurturing, loving and supportive of her on her dance journey. They are amazing role models that provide gentle pushing when needed, positive encouragement, and a shoulder to cry on when days are hard. They check in regularly with me and have become a second family. At Ovation there is no need for risky costumes or obscene dance moves, they provide class and sophistication without rigidity. I highly recommend them if this is the positive influence you want in your dancers life.
I highly recommend Ovation dance! All of the staff genuinely cares for the well being of our children and they treat them like they are their own. They are extremely helpful when finding the right type of dance class for your child. They are organized and do a great job communicating. My daughter started dancing at Ovation about 4 years ago and has grown not only in her dancing abilities, but her confidence. I have also had the opportunity to take a few classes there when they have offered adult classes and the teachers are extremely knowledgeable and very welcoming! This dance studio is all about letting the kids have fun, find their love for movement and dance, as well as teaching them proper technique. If you are looking for a fun environment for your child to move their body, learn proper dance technique, while also building their confidence, then I definitely recommend Ovation Dance.
My kid did 2 of their short 6 week programs with Ms.Kris and Sophia and every week was something new and fun. Jazz, hip hop, ballet and acro. He loved it all and the people he did it with!! It’s pretty impressive to see 2 instructors get a dozen tiny kids all on the same page and make a whole dance in one short session and have fun doing it. You get to watch it all unfold in their waiting room which is also really cool! Definitely recommend!
I LOVE ovation dance! I have 2 daughters enrolled here and I am so pleased with how much they learn each week. They have a wonderful teacher who is kind and patient with them. I appreciate the set up of the studio with a TV screen in the waiting room so you can watch the class if you'd like. Any time I have had questions or concerns they have been promptly addressed. This is a great place to enroll any student interested in dance!
