★★★★★Sydney GertenWe feel so lucky to be part of the Dance Arts Centre family! From the moment we joined, we were welcomed with open arms—by the staff, the teachers, and the community of families. The environment is incredibly supportive, and it's clear how much the dancers respect their teachers. There's such a healthy balance of discipline and joy: the instructors know how to push the kids to grow and improve, while still making every class and performance fun and full of memories. The communication and organization from the studio are top-notch. As a parent, I always feel informed and supported, whether it's during a busy competition weekend or class with my littles. With kids across multiple age groups, we've had the joy of experiencing both the recreational and competitive sides of the studio, and both are run with so much heart and intention. The opportunities DAC provides are truly amazing—private lessons, master classes, acro, Dads & Dancers, and more. There is something for everyone, and every dancer is encouraged to find their passion and go for it. Thank you to the entire DAC staff for creating a space that builds not just beautiful dancers, but confident, kind kids. We’re so grateful to be part of it!
★★★★★Kathryn MooreWe switched from another studio to DAC this year and couldn’t be more impressed!!! The owner, Jill, staff and instructors foster such a warm, welcoming and positive experience for the kids. DAC is extremely well organized, with great communication. They try to foster friendships and connections between the girls, instead of competitiveness. It is amazing to see how much my daughter has grown in her technique and confidence in the past few months! She has a renewed love for dance and we are so grateful!
★★★★★Angie Wynn MNDAC has truly been a second home for my daughter. Not only is she growing as a competitive dancer, but she’s also developing into a stronger teammate and forming friendships that I know will last a lifetime. The teachers pour their hearts into every student, and the supportive environment feels like a place where she belongs. We are so grateful to be part of this incredible studio!
★★★★★Sarah DavisTo say the DAC family feels like home is an understatement. My daughter Mila loves stepping into the studio, can’t wait to see her friends, teachers and fearless leaders. From the positive environment, pleasant atmosphere, amazing opportunities, we feel lucky and proud to be apart of this community.
★★★★★Betsy DonaldsonMy daughter has been dancing at DAC since 2017. She absolutely loves it and all the teachers are great! We look forward to many more years! During COVID, DAC has found ways to keep the kiddos dancing whether it’s via zoom or in the studio! Although there are not a lot of large gatherings still happening, finding ways to celebrate and have fun is there! This year we did trunk or treat as a studio and it turned out amazing! This season, they have added ACRO classes which has been wonderful for my daughter! Thank you for all the effort you put into making dance happen for all our kids!
