Reviews From Our A15 Families
My daughter has been dancing for four years, and this is her second year at Area15. The difference in her abilities after just one year here was absolutely incredible! The teachers bring out the best in their students with a perfect balance of discipline, encouragement, and fun. She has grown so much in both skill and confidence, and it’s amazing to watch her excitement every week when it’s time for class. The staff truly care about the kids, and the environment is both welcoming and inspiring. We are so grateful to have found Area15 and can’t wait to see how she continues to grow here!
We were looking for the full package when we decided to put our little one in dance. Elite instruction, community, and overall growth are just some of the benefits we have already received in just a few, short months. Jax's desire to grow and her confidence in chasing her goals are supported by the amazing staff everyday. We are blessed to be in the Area15 family.
After attending several dance intensives, we were so impressed that my child ended up dancing there full time. Area 15 provides a well-rounded dance education with a focus on technique and injury-prevention (so important for dancers)! The studio environment is challenging but very supportive, as the faculty and dancers cheer each other on. As a parent, I really appreciate the "extras" that are incorporated into the curriculum, such as proper nutrition for athletes, public speaking, audition prep, and confidence building activities. Highly recommend for both recreational and competitive dancers!
