★★★★★Natalie BriscoMy little one loves to dance so when we got introduced to IDC last year we were so excited to find the program. Confidence, great friendships and amazing dance moves is what we received. We are now in our second year and we look forward to seeing everyone and learning something new. Thank you to the whole IDC team for shaping these young ones to their best ability and showing them anything is possible!
★★★★★Jennifer WattersMy girls have been dancing at iibada for four years now - we have not only been so impressed with the instruction and opportunities to perform that they have been given but we love the community here. It really is a dance family and everyone makes my girls feel cared for, challenged and welcomed!
★★★★★Kelli McCraryIibada is an excellent dance studio. The administrators and the instructors are professional, accomplished, and they genuinely care about the families that are enrolled. Their growth over the past few years has been nothing short of amazing and that's because iibada has gotten more exposure so more people can see how wonderful they are. However, they are so much more than just a dance studio . They are a family that builds up every area of their dancers lives. The self-confidence they instill, the leadership they encourage, the cultural pride they demonstrate and the qualities of just being a good person, have all added so much to my daughter's life. More than we could have gotten out of any other activities that I can think of. They are not only preparing our youth to be great dancers, but to just be great in the world!
★★★★★C TaylorI absolutely love iibada and how wonderful the company is! We have become a family and I love this for my daughter! She started in May of 2021 at 4 and is now in the academy classes forging her own path! Over 30 years of creating a space where dancers excel and grow tremendously!! Under the founder Mama Sabra, the leadership of Mama T and Mama Christa has been a great one! Even with changes, performances and opportunities have been wonderful! I love being apart of the iibada family and will continue many more years!!
★★★★★Shonnea “Simply Shonnea”My dancer and I love Iibada. We are so happy we found a dance community that feels like family. It's great to see my dancer excited to go to class and ready to go back when there's a break. I know that she feels cared for and enjoys the instruction. I have watched my child blossom as a dancer and person since being at Iibada. It's apparent how much the instructors and leadership care for each dancer. Again, I am very thankful. Highly recommend!
