COMPANY C, ACADEMY OF DANCE REVIEWS

Outstanding instructors . Granddaughter dances there and my daughter assist so I’m alittle partial but the variety of dance available for children and teens alike is excellent. A learning experience for someone who loves to dance.

We've been dancing at Company C for 5+ years and have loved every minute. The old Sho-Place building makes for an amazing dance studio. The instructors are amazing, the other dance parents are awesome. It's more than a dance studio, it's a dance family.

Everyone makes you feel welcomed and they challenge you to do your best.

PERFORMANCE DANCE REVIEWS

For all the negative comment’s about Mrs. Carrie, her staff, and overall PDC is very concerning to me why such a person can say such rude things that’s not true. I have been dancing with PDC since I was 3 and been on the competition team since I was 6. So, everyone is family to me and I know everything about which is my family. Mrs. Carrie is an amazing teacher and the best teacher you can have. This comes down to her being bubbly, teaching amazing technique, having amazing choreography, tricks, and many more a teacher can teach your child. I have been taught so much since I have been at PDC, and is still learning new cool skill. I absolutely adore everyone at PDC even down to the parents. The parents are very supportive always has cheered us on even when we knew we messed up in a part of a dance. Silks has also been brought to PDC which I love also. Mrs. Courtney has taught me so much that I think I couldn’t be doing in the air. It has built strength in my body and have used a lot of upper body strength which would also help me for my other dances. I truly believe PDC is where you want your child to be. Therefore, PDC definitely deserves 5 stars and nothing less cause I know my family and I know what they deserve.

Performance Dance Centre is always welcoming and open to all levels. I’m classically trained ballet. I never felt out of place or that I didn’t belong. Carrie and other instructors worked with me during class when they saw me struggling. They were encouraging and positive during my entire experience. The front office staff is always positive behavior also seen throughout the entire studio. When you come to PDC, you become part of their family. They care about every dancer not just their competition teams as I experienced at other studios. I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience I had with them for several years.

Performance Dance Centre is the “best” dance/aerial arts studio in Columbus, Ga. All the teachers are professionals. The studio is clean and very welcoming. Carrie Paris the director/owner is wonderful. The kids love her! I have been amazed at what her students learn.

ACADEMY DANCE CENTER REVIEWS

They enrolled our 4-year old daughter in an Academy Dance Center dance camp week, since she started to show interest in dance. Today we attended the parent showcase to feature their routines and highlight the activities of the week. We were so impressed with the amount of energy, love and intention in organizing this dance camp. From the dance - crafts -costume characters - and commitment to the theme, it is clear that ADC is a wholesome and creative environment for children. The content was personalized for each child's age and level. We are surprised by the value of the camp considering the experience and what was delivered. This is an organization that clearly is passionate about our children and their development. Great summer program ADC.

Our family loves the Academy! After a long search throughout Columbus, I have been thoroughly impressed & with the credentials of the staff. From dance degrees & professional dance company experience, this studio has it going on! I would definitely recommend to anyone.

ADC by far is the best studio to truly learn dance. The staff is great! These young ladies grow in dance & their self in the best way. Would highly recommend sending your child here.
