★★★★★Nicole St JeanThis is our first year at Defying Gravity. My daughter is a teen and has been dancing at another studio for years. She is on their competition dance team as well as taking classes multiple days a week. We have seen so much improvement in her technique and confidence as a dancer from all that she has learned in the short time we have been here. We weren't sure how welcome she was going to feel once she switched studios so far into her dancing journey. To our great satisfaction, she was welcomed by all the dancers at the studio. It was as if she had been dancing there her whole life. Everyone we have gotten to meet in the Defying Gravity Dance family has been wonderful and gracious. We always feel included by everyone from teachers, directors, fellow dancers and all the families as well. This is a great school to either begin or transfer for anyone looking to jump into the dance world.
★★★★★Gina SimonelliMy daughter adores this dance studio, Miss Nicole, and her staff. Not growing up in Rhode Island, I was so happy to find a place that was warm and inviting like my own childhood studio. The owner focuses not only on building exceptional dance skills, but emphasizes lessons on confidence, and kindness. So happy to be a part of the Defying Gravity family!
★★★★★Josh SherringNicole and her team is fantastic. My daughter has been with her company since she could barely walk. She loves her team as well as Nicole. It’s fun watching all the kids grow. Her coaches are top notch. If you want to be with a dance company that is successful and most importantly has proven results, this is the dance company to join.
★★★★★Patricia GreenDefying Gravity has been my daughters second home for the past 7 years. She started as a recreation dancer and always had a fun time while receiving the best training. The celebrations and pizza parties and constant new choreography always challenged her and kept her engaged. She eventually decided she wanted to compete. Seeing other studios and competing around New England and hearing judges feedback solidified that Defying Gravity offers the best mix of fun, technique, choreography and opportunity around. My daughter feels loved, valued and like she has an extended family. Couldn't ask for anything more.
★★★★★Alexandra BeckwithI cannot say enough how positive our experience is being apart of the DG family. My daughter joined little twirlers last season and absolutely thrived. She loved Miss Jamie and begged to go to class every Saturday! We are rejoining for the 22-23 season! Nicole is wonderful and so personable and really takes time to get to know the families and clearly cares about every single dancer. Also love the location and look/atheistic of the studio overall. Very clean and family friendly!!!
