We are so grateful for Ms. Kelly and Ms. Sofi! This is Kora’s first ballet and tap class, and she absolutely loves it. She’s always excited to go to class and comes home eager to practice—she even follows her teachers’ advice and practices her routine at night!
Absolutely Amazing! It is absolutely gorgeous from the outside and the instructors are both knowledgeable and friendly! I have no formal training or knowledge in dance, so I was a bit nervous at first. That went away immediately, all of the instructors are very approachable and made a newbie like me feel at ease.
I can’t recommend dance discovery studio highly enough. The classes are incredibly versatile, and the teachers are not only highly professional but also bring a healthy, balanced approach to dance education.
