What People are Saying about us
"Joe takes care of every child individually and knows each of their strength and their weaknesses and helps them to work on that. And its also great for conditioning, stretching and flexibility. There’s a lot of focus on actual technique and learning how to dance as opposed to just a show."

"My Daughter learned more acro moves here in 3 months than she did in 3 years in a recreational program at a local gymnastics club. They also moved my daughter in a skills appropriate class, unlike some other studios who just keep her at a level according to years of experience and not level of skill, gets my vote for 2 thumbs up.."
