★★★★★Gay WebbMy daughter has been dancing at Del Arts going into her fourth year and this studio is amazing. They have always treated us with respect and have definitely helped her come out of her shell. So glad she started studying here.
★★★★★Elizabeth EklundMy daughter attended her first DelArts theater camp at Candlelight this summer and it was an amazing experience. What they accomplished with 30 kids under 12 in just two weeks was incredible. It was so well-organized, the teachers were top notch, and the communication with parents before and throughout the camp was excellent. I’m really impressed with all DelArts has to offer and we will definitely be back!
★★★★★Maia OrchinikWe could not be happier with DelArts! When we were looking for a dance school for our child, we wanted a place that has a lot of structure and emphasizes technique, while still being a warm and positive environment. DelArts matches that perfectly. They are organized and efficient when it comes to recitals and performances, they communicate readily, they regularly provide constructive feedback to help dancers grow, and they genuinely care about their students and make classes fun. There are a lot of extra little details too that just make DelArts such a great school—for example, there is a big/little sibling program for dance team members to help build community/friendship and to make sure everyone has a cheerleader. Most importantly, DelArts excels at being a welcoming environment for students of all body types, physical abilities, cognitive abilities, ethnicities, identities, and backgrounds. I have heard from several parents that they switched to DelArts because of its reputation for diversity and inclusion. DelArts also offers an amazing summer camp program. Each week has a fun theme and the kids have a blast and even put on a show at the end of the week that parents can attend. Kids don’t even have to have any dance experience and they can be as young as 3 years (which is hard to find). It’s also amazing for working parents because they have free before and after care and great hours. Our daughter has attended DelArts since age 2 and she loves her dance classes, the other students, and the DelArts community. Ms. Heather Ley-Wolfe has given her so much self-confidence and encouraged her to just go for it, and this impacts her well beyond dance. We love that she is part of such a positive and welcoming community.
★★★★★Jessica WhislerDelarts is an amazing dance school! The teachers take the time to assess the skill level of each dancer and place them in classes that help them grow and meet their own personal goals. The owners are attentive and truly passionate about the school and each dancer. We love it here!
★★★★★Michelle SawickiMy daughters have been attending DelArts for 16 years. The teachers and students have been their second family. They continue to push my youngest to her limits as she reaches her full potential and strives for her best moving into her senior year! She enjoys volunteering during their summer camps as well. My oldest often returns to volunteer backstage for their productions. We love DelArts!
