★★★★★Jessica McClenneyWe have been at Graceful Expressions for almost 2 years now after my daughter entered kinder! She started with Love to Dance and enjoyed both tap and ballet. The recital was so well done and perfect for her age. The classes are fun and not too structured for a 5-6 year old. This year, she is enjoying Hip Hop and Tumbling and has loved all the movement. The staff are very helpful and truly love what they do - their interactions with students and parents are always positive. We also took advantage of summer camp last year to mix up some of her activities and she is signed up again this summer! Highly recommend this studio.
★★★★★Alana NanzMy daughter loves the classes and camps at Graceful Expressions. The teachers are kind and great with young children; it's a welcoming and fun atmosphere. The annual recital gives the students a chance to wear costumes and perform on a stage, while not be overwhelming or excessive. Out of all the summer camps my daughter attended last year (after finishing Kindergarten), the Graceful Expressions camps were her favorite!
★★★★★Larissa ChristieMy 2 daughters and I found this studio after their relocation in 2021. We tried several other studios in Cary first and Graceful stood out to me as having the best options to fit every style of dancer. April has assembled a truly passionate team of teachers, created a welcoming space, and allowed for flexibility to meet our family needs. Shout-out to Mr. Willie for his weekly inspiration and motivation to express ourselves while improving our technique as well as our positive spirit. After 6 shows and countless classes, we can't imagine dancing anywhere else.
★★★★★Sarah SuggsMy daughter has been dancing at Graceful Expressions for years. The instructors are all excellent and provide instruction with kindness, care, and enthusiasm! We love the optional end of year recitals (even our non-dance family members enjoy!)
★★★★★Barbara HanksWe are so grateful to the wonderful teachers at Graceful Expressions! My daughter (a teen) was hesitant to return to dance after taking a 2-year break due to health issues. She was welcomed with open arms and has been incredibly supported by every teacher she's encountered at the studio. The classes themselves are fabulous - many are smaller in size, meaning that students receive a lot of individual feedback/corrections. Additionally, there are multiple performance opportunities throughout the year, which we've enjoyed attending. If you are looking for a studio that is truly warm and supportive, this is the place to be. We are so thankful to have found Graceful Expressions - and to have reignited my daughter's love for ballet!
