GRACEFUL EXPRESSIONS DANCE EDUCATION REVIEWS

My daughters have been with Graceful Expressions for almost 4 years now with a gap where we tried another studio after moving. We quickly regretted that decision. Miss April has managed to foster this unique atmosphere of relaxed fun balanced with a desire to be better. She helps the dancers fall in love with dancing so they want to pay attention. They want to get ready and come to class. I have never struggled to get my girls to WANT to go to a class at Graceful Expressions (in fact, I've had to limit the amount they can sign up for) whereas with the other studio it was like pulling teeth just to get them to put their leotards on and out the door. Each teacher and assistant has greeted them with a huge smile and usually big hugs. The recitals are absolutely beautiful! After having attended several different studios recitals in the area, I could see the difference from the Itty-bitty dancers to the older ones on pointe there really is a Graceful difference.

Our son has been attending Graceful Expressions for about six months. They are very gracious with their absence and makeup policies which has been helpful with our changing schedules. We've enjoyed the variety of classes available for his age group (5 y/o pre-K) which means he's been able to explore various teachers and forms of dance including tap, ballet, hip hop, and tumbling. All the teachers are so kind and he truly enjoys himself each class. We are excited to try out some performances this spring and trust it will be a joyful experience for him thanks to the studio. Highly recommend Graceful Expressions to families with young children who want to expose their kiddos to the joys of dance.

My daughter LOVED her four years of dance classes at Graceful Expressions! It's such a caring, supportive environment, and my daughter loved the techniques she learned. We were impressed at her recitals! I absolutely recommend Graceful Expressions to anyone looking for dance classes.

PREMIER SCHOOL OF DANCE REVIEWS

I am absolutely thrilled with my experience so far at Premier School of Dance. The instructors are top-notch, bringing a wealth of knowledge and passion to each class. They have a unique ability to connect with students of all ages and skill levels, fostering a love for dance that goes beyond the studio. What truly sets Premier School of Dance apart is its community. The staff, students, and parents all contribute to provide an overall wonderful and supportive environment. We love PSD.

This dance studio in Cary is by far the best in all of Apex, Cary, and Raleigh. My kids have danced at multiple studios and it wasn’t until they came to Premier where they really felt at home and were able to grow as dancers. Taylor and Monica treat everyone like family.

Premier is more than a dance studio it’s a family. The teachers genuinely love their dancers. My daughter has been dancing with them for 5 years and has learned and grown so much at Premier. We love our dance family.

MILLPOND DANCE REVIEWS

My daughter has be dancing with Ms Kim since she was 2 (currently in season 6)! She is currently taking 4 classes which shows how much she enjoys it! My son has taken hip hop with Mr Ivan for 5 seasons. I have also taken adult hip hop and am currently taking adult jazz and tap. They are some of my favorite times of the week! We are like a little family. I love how Millpond focuses on learning dance while also having fun. It is our home away from home.

We love Millpond Dance and Ms. Kim! My daughter has been dancing there since 2017 and has always enjoyed it. Kim has created a welcoming and engaging environment where kids (and adults) feel comfortable trying new things, being themselves and learn to grow as dancers. I also highly recommend the adult classes at Millpond. They are FUN and all levels are welcome.

We love Millpond Dance and the Owner, Kim. Both myself and my son have been taking dance classes there for a year now and it has been such a great experience! Kim has created such a positive, supportive environment for all of her dancers.
