Testimonials

"Your teaching methods are outstanding!  Even your preschoolers knew their dances during the recital; no heads turned looking for the teacher off stage! Your dancers know their stuff. Wow!!"
--Elementary School Teacher

"Performances by the Youth Dance Ensemble Repertoire students are hard to describe...Contemporary Ballet, Funk Jazz, Musical Theater; everything they do is  professional quality..... what versatile dancers!"
--Local Choreographer

"I loved the Director's style from the moment I met her and observed that first class. She is honest, direct, and very talented. She works so well with all ages of dancers she teaches. It was obvious from the start that this is a studio with artistic/creative vision. Some studios don't seem to see dance as an art form, but the staff here certainly do.”
--YDE Parent                ​

“This dance center respects and honors ALL body-types and abilities.  They are ALL appreciated and valued.”
--YDE Parent
