Testimonials

This class was so fun!  I have already used my lessons on the Lilypad cruise, a Jimmy Buffett party, Leaving Boston, and a concert by Kenny Chesney. So the lessons are handy!

My daughter (just turned 19 months old) and I are loving the Mommy and Me class. We just finished our second class and I was SOOOO excited to go. Miss Claire is incredible and in my opinion; you couldn’t pick someone better to instruct the Mommy and Me class.

Deb’s is not only a fun, caring environment but the students are highly skilled and trained fully in dance vocabulary, technique, and skill.  Unlike some other schools my children have attended, Deb’s doesn’t just have the dancers learn choreography but sets them up to succeed if they chose a career in dance after they graduate. The students form a close bond, constantly building each other up and form lifelong friendships. You are truly family here.

As a parent, I love seeing the growth, confidence, and progression each year! I am thankful for all of you and the work and dedication you put into encouraging and teaching your students!

Annie is an excellent Pilates instructor who truly cares to help you achieve your goals. I highly recommend her Pilates class!

I’ve never taken a dance class before I signed up for Hip Hop for Adults. Going into the first class I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to keep up. Despite my worrying, I ended up having an absolute blast! Miss Claire is a fantastic teacher. She’s energetic, funny, and very encouraging. She made it clear from the first class that we were in a judgment-free zone and that the objective of the class was always fun, first and foremost. She patiently broke down moves for us and moved at a pace that worked for the entire class.

Claire consistently communicated clearly and cheerfully. She always encouraged us to add our own flair and expression. Through the course, I was able to gain confidence. I’m so glad I challenged myself to try something new. I’d highly recommend that you sign up for adult classes. You won’t regret taking the time to do something fun for yourself.

I was very hesitant to try this class with fears of being embarrassed. I went and it was nothing like I expected, it’s a very relaxed atmosphere. It felt great being with other mothers who shared the same emotions I did having a baby. It’s fun and actually made my body feel better!!!! I would highly recommend this class for pregnant or moms with babies. I tried the free class and signed up before I left! And a bonus, the instructor is WONDERFUL!

My girls love coming to dance class. The littlest girls ask almost daily if it is their turn/day to go. They have fun dancing and moving around. Our eldest daughter is in her fifth year and has improved many skills through the progression the studio offers. The staff takes time to nurture and teach each child, plus has gotten to know our family throughout the years. We have made many friends (kid and mama friendships) in the studio classrooms and lobby areas. Being at the dance studio has helped the kids grow in gross motor, coordination, confidence, and self-esteem.

When Madison started dance she was very shy and timid.  We had tried some other sports and it was just not her thing.  We tried Get up and Dance when she was 6 years old and she loved it!!  The teachers helped her feel welcome and she was excited to go to dance every week.  Now Madison is 15 years old and dancing 4 days a week doing a variety of dance from Ballet, Modern, Tap and Jazz.  Dance has really helped her express herself and come out of her shell.  She has met many new friends that she will have for a lifetime!! We love our dance family!!

I absolutely loved this class! It was SO much fun and I would highly recommend it!  Especially for those mamas that just need a break from the normal everyday schedule!  Love what I learned!

Deb Collier’s School of Dance has been such a wonderful experience for our family.  Our son participated for 5-6 years in several forms of dance, including ballet and jazz as well as tap, modern and Troupe.  The staff are devoted entirely to their students having a positive experience and will fine tune a schedule to work with a busy family’s lifestyle, to the absolute best of their ability.  The enrichment Ian experienced has helped him be able to perform in front of audiences which will last a lifetime and has helped academically as well.  Our daughter has spent time in dance on and off for 3 years or so and she’s always had a positive experience as well.  The best parts of her experience have been the birthday parties and parent’s night out which are always a lot of fun for young kids.  She thoroughly enjoys her instructors and it is clear they all enjoy all of the kids.  I will be forever grateful for the staff being a village to my children and helping to raise them, teaching them values we appreciate, respect, hard work and kindness.

Just a quick note to let you know that we all loved the recital. It was our first year participating and our entire family enjoyed the experience so much. Thank you for giving the students and their families the opportunity.

I love the way the studio makes me feel like myself every time I walk in the doors. I don’t worry… I am accepted. I love the teachers and how they serve as friends, mentors and motivators. They never give up on us. Over the last 14 years I have benefited from the studio in hundreds of ways. It has shaped me to be the person I am today and I am so thankful for that. I have gained many lasting friendships and I am glad to be a part of this studio!

Thank you so much for allowing Greater Warsaw Cooperative Preschool the opportunity to display some of our students’ artwork at your School of Dance. They worked so hard on painting those sunflowers and it is nice because many of our students attend your classes!

I would like to thank you for your support of Jefferson Elementary School. Your donation helped make our walk-a-thon a success.
