Institute of Dance Artistry

★★★★★Molly Hufnagel

IDA isn't just about technical proficiency; it's about fostering a love for dance and building confidence in young dancers. Our daughter has grown not only as a dancer but also as a person, thanks to the supportive and encouraging atmosphere cultivated by Jamie and her team. Jamie, the owner and a teacher herself, deserves special recognition. Her dedication to the students and the art of dance is evident in every class and event. She runs the studio with a perfect balance of enthusiasm and organization, ensuring that everything—from scheduling to performances—is top-notch. The variety of dance styles offered at IDA is impressive, catering to all ages and skill levels. Whether it's ballet, jazz, tap, or lyrical there's a class that fits every dancer's interests and aspirations. As parents, we couldn't be happier with our decision to enroll our daughter at Institute of Dance Artistry. Her passion for dance continues to blossom, and we have no doubt that she will thrive further under the guidance of the exceptional teachers at IDA. For any parent looking for a dance studio that values excellence, creativity, and community, IDA is the perfect choice. We look forward to many more years of watching our daughter dance with joy and confidence at IDA.

My daughter has been to 2 other dance schools and IDA is where she is happy and thrives. Ms Jamie and all the teachers are very professional, passionate, fun, and creative. The recitals are amazing and I love that the students don't need to purchase expensive costumes. There are numerous performance opportunities and IDA also gives back to the community through dance. IDA is my daughter's 2nd home where it is a safe place to learn, make memories and build friendships. We love our IDA family.

We love IDA! My oldest has been dancing at IDA for several years now and she is having a blast. The teachers are kind, patient, and encouraging as they help each dancer develop their skills and learn the art of dance! We have been very happy with the class offerings. IDA offers many different styles and we have always been able to find convenient class times. They also offer camps in the summer and a solo/duet performance in the winter. Jamie and her team keep the dancers excited, learning, and growing all year round! I should add that my youngest has been dancing at IDA for a couple of years. The teachers are especially loving with the young dancers and they make them feel so special.

IDA is an absolutely amazing studio! Over the past 15 years, each of my three children has had an incredible experience learning to dance at IDA. Their mission is teaching dance as an art rather than as a competition. This is infused in each and every teacher’s approach, regardless of the type of dance. Jamie, the owner, is an extremely competent and compassionate woman who is committed to making each student feel as equally challenged as they are supported. Throughout this pandemic, Jamie and her entire team have been committed to making IDA a safe environment for the students to continue to grow their skills. Offering classes online, outside, or in person, every family has had the ability to continue their child’s dance education in a way that they feel safe and secure. I highly recommend IDA to anyone looking for a fabulous dance program!

My daughter has been dancing at IDA for the past 11 years and she absolutely loves every day she spends there! Jamie and all the teachers are truly amazing and always go above and beyond. They proved that this year especially during the pandemic exceeding any expectations we could have to keep the kids dancing, engaged and most importantly doing it safely! From zoom classes and shows to summer pop ups and building an outdoor stage! I cannot say enough wonderful things about IDA. They are family. ❤️
