From the reviews
Katie is an amazing owner, director and choreographer, supported by well educated and qualified faculty. The environment she has cultivated is warm and uplifting, the students are extremely respectful and hard working. Their growth is consistent, both as dancers and as people.
The owner and director, Katie Li, at Verve Dance Company provides a supportive and challenging environment for dancers to grow. My daughter has been training under Katie and her staff for several years. They have been amazing! My daughter travels an hour to train at The Verve 4-5 days a week.
Quality education and caring of the WHOLE dancer. Katie Harris, heavily decorated and nationally known director, choreographer, and artistic visionary, is professional, endearing, and compassionate about dance education.
I can not say enough amazing things about Verve Dance Company and their faculty. Their training is top notch and hands down the best studio in the Florida Panhandle for serious dancers who want to improve their skills. The teachers are sweet, caring, knowledgable and professional.
Your first ballet class at Verve Dance Company
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
