What Our Dance Families Are Saying

At Studio 4, we believe in more than just great dancing—we build confidence, friendships, and lasting memories. Hear from the dancers and families who make our community so special.

“In the last 5 years my daughter has been dancing at Studio 4 she has grown exponentially as an athlete and a person. We absolutely love the level of training she receives. This studio knows dance takes conditioning, a strong foundation in ballet, and focus on technique and art. But her favorite part of this studio has little to do with the actual training. Her favorite part of the studio is how they make her feel. What Studio 4 does so well, is treat each student like a member of their family. My daughter is seen, known, and supported, on and off the stage. The studio is her safe place where she feels like she belongs. I am so thankful for the love and support she receives there. Of course, I think the studio has enriched her talent and love for dance, but the life lessons, on how to be a good teammate and friend, is what will follow her for the rest of her life.”

“I have 2 daughters that have danced competitively at Studio 4 for many years. One that just finished dancing at the collegiate level, and one that will be entering her final year on the Senior Team at Studio 4. Both girls have loved their time and experience here. Whether you are looking for a recreational dance program, or a strong competitive program, they have options for any dancer. The communication and organization of both programs are well executed. Our youngest wanted to dance for her high school dance team and was able to balance and maintain her attendance and training for both teams and was well supported by her teachers at Studio 4. If your dancer has the desire to further train at the collegiate level, they will be prepared, well trained and supported. I invite you to come and see the studio, the girls are learning and having fun and you can see how happy they are to be there! I cannot thank the Studio 4 Owners and staff enough for not only providing a quality dance program for both my girls but for also instilling in them to be good teammates, to believe in themselves and push themselves to do their best. I will be sad to see it come to an end.”

“We are incredibly grateful for the 13 wonderful years our daughter has spent at Studio 4. From the very beginning, we knew Studio 4 was the right place for our family—it quickly became a second home, a place where she felt valued, supported, and encouraged to grow not only as a dancer but as a person. The technical training at Studio 4 is beyond wonderful. Over the years, our daughter has honed her skills in a way that would not have been possible without the expert guidance and dedication of her instructors. They have pushed her beyond what we thought she could do, while always maintaining a focus on proper technique and discipline. The staff truly know our daughter, her strengths and weaknesses, and they challenge her in both areas. Beyond the technical aspects, Studio 4 has taught our daughter invaluable life skills—teamwork, perseverance, confidence, and how to manage stressful situations. However, we are most thankful for the friendships she has made. Her teammates are her ‘ride or die’ people. To watch her with her friends means more than any performance. We are forever thankful for the impact Studio 4 has had on our family. It’s truly a special place, and we could not be more appreciative of the role it has played in shaping our daughter’s life and her passion for dance. We look forward to her next three years!”

“Check out Studio 4 Dance! I was looking for the perfect place where my daughters could try dance. Being a dancer myself, I had high expectations not only for the training but also for community. I wanted a place my girls could grow in dance and be supported throughout their journey. We started before the age of two and loved it! We continued in the rec program until age 5. At age 5, we auditioned for the comp team and have been competing for the past four years. The community that surrounds my girls has been vital for our family. I’m grateful for the training that they are receiving with hopes of possibly dancing at the college level one day. They love the staff, teachers, and dancing with their friends. We are looking forward to many more years of memories! Thank you, Studio 4 for all you do! “

“We cannot say enough good things about our experience! Thank you for all of the organized communication and work that goes into this production. I myself danced competitively and know how much time and energy it takes. We are proud and happy to be part of your community and I just wanted to extend a thank you and let you know how much we have appreciated your teaching staff these last two years at the littlest levels. We appreciate the environment you have created. Thank you!“
