I absolutely love Dance Tracks! Everyone is welcome. There are lots of different dance options for all ages and abilities. The teachers are well trained and they truly care about their students. My daughter enjoys it because it is just fun! No pressure to be perfect. It’s a wonderful way to allow your children to learn the art of dance without any criticism.
Laura Rogers
I took the leap into dance at Dance Tracks at 26 and I loved it even more than I could have known! Hard to believe I have been dancing for 6 years now! Dance Tracks provides dance classes for all ages/levels and has a great adult presence as well, which is awesome. I particularly enjoy the focus on technique, but in a non-pressured environment. The annual dance recital is outstanding and such a great opportunity to enjoy performing what you have learned and improved during the year.
Amber Pennington
This is a great program that grows you in more then one area. Great instructors, nurturing and knowledgeable. Great facility. They have a fantastic year end show that is like no other! Excellent place to dance!!
Monique Buerger
Started dancing here in 2015 as an adult with only four previous classes. These people are amazing. Welcoming, helpful you truly feel like your a part of a big family. If your an adult and you’ve always wanted to dance this is your place. The year end recital is a blast.
Krista Smith
I’ve had an excellent experience with Dance Tracks. After taking dance for the first time at age 29 my instructor was friendly, firm, and flexible in adapting to my skill level. As I expanded to other classes/types of dance, I learned that the other teachers were also very talented professionals who took their work seriously, yet love to have fun. I’ve also had the privilege of assisting in stage management during recital time and witnessed how well the teachers worked with/instructed children of younger ages. As a school psychologist I was impressed with how well the teachers’ instruction helped these kids develop gross motor skills while enhancing their cognitive abilities and focus. I would recommend Dance Tracks to any parent or individual who wants to learn dance and be a part of an amazing creative studio.
Andrew Krupp
I absolutely love Dancetracks! They offer classes for all ages and ability levels, and the spring recital is fantastic. In the 29 years since I began dancing, it is my favorite studio. The quality of instruction rivals that of much larger schools while the small class sizes allow for excellent individualized instruction. Within my first few weeks my teacher was able to hone in on mistakes in my technique that had gone unnoticed my entire life, and made corrections while maintaining a fun, low-pressure atmosphere. I also love that I am able to participate in the end-of-the-year recital; it has been difficult to find a studio that offers this to their adult students. I had missed performing, and having that goal to work toward makes the weekly classes even more enjoyable.
In addition, I am thrilled to attend a studio where both my young daughter and I can dance, and I never have to worry about her being pressured into inappropriate costumes, music, or choreography. She had previously been at a great ballet studio for three years but it was no longer a good fit for her; she was not enjoying herself and wanted to quit. Last year we discovered Dancetracks and after her first lesson she was excited about dance again and having a blast! She is now constantly dancing around the house and displaying a joy in movement that she never had before.
