"We love independance. My daughter did ballet at another studio. She never stayed on task and most days asked me to sit and watch. We started at independance in the fall and she loves it. She participates in class and has never once asked me to sit and watch. With the quarantine going on we thought we would lose dance, but Independance brought it to us online. My daughter was so excited to get to keep dancing at home. As a mom I love how much they care about the kiddos and how they’ve brought dance to life in our home during this hard time."
"My daughter has been dancing at this studio with Mrs. Mary since she was 6 years old. What has been most impressive, even more than the high quality dance instruction is the team environment fostered by Mary and all of the teachers. Dancers of all ages come together as a true team to look out for each other, push each other and compete at the highest level. My daughter loves to go to dance. Mrs Mary has become a wonderful role model for my daughter and reinforces primary values and lessons beyond dance. Wonderful place for little ones to develop."
"💚 Both of my girls have danced at IndepenDance for several years now. There are many things I like about this studio but I am most impressed about how much the studio owner and all the teachers care about the kids. During this uncertain times they have stepped up to provide a wide variety of virtual classes but on top of all, they are doing bedtime stories, spa days, a variety of friendly challenges and virtual team meetings among other things. My girls look forward to connecting with their I-dance family on a daily basis. I feel so blessed to have found this studio for my girls 💚"
