★★★★★Adam Blutter

Bender performing arts is amazing!! I am a student there, Encore 1 in the musical theatre department and loving it. I started last year in Suessical Jr and now we are doing the little mermaid. The 2 teachers Miss Beth, and Miss Lauren in the department are so kind, bender is so amazing!

★★★★★Jessica Williams

We love Bender! My daughter has danced here since she was 4. She loves the friendships and the skills she has acquired. Her confidence grows every year we are here! Bender is a great place and we love it.

★Joseph Broquard

Bender allows their patrons to line up and block other local traffic and parkers. This creates congestion, decreases efficiency of traffic in the parking lot, and sometimes the line sits unmoving for 5 or 10 minutes at a time. 1 star for this rudeness. This has been going on, uncorrected, for months, maybe years

★★★★★Siobhan Crofoot

My daughter loves going to Bender. The discipline and attention to detail is something to be admired. The variety of classes is good as well.

★★★★★Patience Wilcox-Arteaga

This is the third year my granddaughter has been taking dance classes at Bender Performing Arts and she has always had an amazing experience. The coaches are patient, experienced, friendly and on the level with the kids. Last season my granddaughter was in the musical Peter Pan, and not only did she grow in learning about Theatre but also her self confidence and being a part of a team/production.
