Powered by GoogleLimelight Dance is very welcoming they care about the girls and their focus is on seeing the girls having fun and dancing. This welcoming atmosphere is joined and exhibited by the owner Baylee, her assistant and the dance instructor Mrs. Bri (Brianna). Brianna welcomes her students into her class, she is very caring and friendly. She not only has talent dancing but talent teaching children the dance skills she displays. We are enjoying being apart of her classes and feel lucky and blessed to have her as a teacher!
This was our first experience doing a dance class for our daughter. Moriah was an amazing instructor. The Preschool class has a the right amount of fun and fundamentals. My daughter looks forward to her weekend class every Saturday. Moriah spoils the girls with treasure box and special treats through the year and has a great attitude towards littles! She’s a great asset to the studio.
WE LOVE LIMELIGHT DANCE! The owner Mrs. Baylee is one of the sweetest people ever! She goes above and beyond for all her studio families, works so hard to ensure everyone has a great dance experience, and is an amazing dance teacher to my 9 year old who always wants to take all the classes Mrs. Baylee teaches. We spend several nights a week at Limelight, and love how it’s feels like one big family! Mrs. Ashley is amazing with my preschooler, Ms. B does an awesome job with the cheer classes, Mrs. Mariah makes hip-hop so much fun for both my girls, and Mrs. Bri is always so patient and smiling! We are so thankful for Limelight Dance, and all they do 🩷💚
From the first day, everyone at limelight was welcoming to our family. My daughter absolutely adores going to her cheer class every week. Miss B and Addie are so patient with her class and age group, all while still teaching them everything they need to know safely. I couldn’t imagine a better dance studio or staff (from the student teachers all the way to Mrs. Baylee) for our daughter and family to attend!
Wanda Kay’s dance company promotes children to enjoy dance and they do not pressure competition. They have helped my daughter grow in her confidence and develope a love for dance. The staff are caring and provide a great learning environment.
