★★★★★Kim FunstonWe cannot say enough good things about The Dance Barn and Gillian Redman. Gillian is, hands down, the most nourishing, caring, and professional teacher my daughter has ever had. We have tried several studios in town, and none of them were quite the right fit — they didn’t challenge her, didn’t seem as invested, or just didn’t feel right. From the moment we came to The Dance Barn, everything changed. Gillian truly sees each dancer. She deeply cares about every child as an individual — their unique strengths, learning styles, and potential — and she takes the time to help them grow in the way that’s best for them. She pushes her dancers to be their best while also making sure they feel safe, supported, and confident. Gillian is also incredibly focused on dancer safety and overall health. She is thoughtful about proper technique, conditioning, and preventing injury, and she creates an environment where dancers are encouraged to listen to their bodies and take care of themselves. That level of care and professionalism is so rare and means everything to us as parents. Since starting at The Dance Barn, my daughter has absolutely bloomed — she has gained confidence, skill, and a genuine love for dance. She practically lives at the studio now, and that says it all. The Dance Barn truly feels like a family, and we are so grateful to have found Gillian and this amazing place. 💕
★★★★★Chey NicoleThe Dance Barn in Ellensburg has been absolutely amazing for our family. My 8-year-old daughter started in October, and the growth we’ve seen in her confidence and love for dance has been incredible. Gillian, the owner and instructor, is truly one of a kind—patient, encouraging, and so genuine with the each kid that enters the studio. She creates a positive, welcoming environment where every dancer feels seen and supported. Both myself and daughter look forward to the competition season ahead as well as the awesome friendship between the dancers as well as dance moms. I couldn’t recommend this studio more highly!
★★★★★Rebecca LynWhen it comes to technique, the instruction at The Dance Barn truly shows in the way dancers grow in confidence and skill. Gillian offers classes for all ages and skill levels and has a gift for meeting each dancer where they are while still encouraging growth. The care, knowledge, and intention she brings to every class makes a real difference.
★★★★★Natalia ParkerGillian is a fantastic dance teacher. She has a professional understanding of technique and skill along with a unique ability to scaffold and support all ages of kids on the dance floor and off.
★★★★★duncan redmanNo one puts their heart and sole into teaching little kids as much as Miss Gilly does. She's a true pillar to society and her passion for dance, teaching, choreographing and orchestrating dance events comes very natural to her. The Dance Barn is the best in Ellensburg, simply put
