My daughter is beginning her 9th year at TDI and my son is beginning his 3rd. The TDI staff is extremely qualified and professional, always making sure the kids are learning, growing, and most important...having fun. Being a part of TDI means more than just belonging to a dance studio...we're a part of a dance family.
Before joining TDI, we really did our research. There are a lot of studios in the area, many of them good, but we were looking for a place where my daughter could learn and grow as a dancer and still be the unique and special individual she is. And we found what we wanted at TDI.
The focus at this studio is to train and nurture budding talent to grow into true artists and also to have fun. Our dancers have individual curriculums and are not forced to travel from class to class as a group. It is recognized that not every form of dance will appeal to every dancer. Our teachers are highly qualified professionals and provide a safe and enjoyable learning environment, ensuring that students are placed at the right level and in the right dance discipline(s) where they will thrive. And you can expect absolute honesty! Routines and costumes are age-appropriate and recreational students get just as much attention as their peers in the competitive programs and the quality of instruction does not suffer.
Students can also expect to enjoy special oportunities to perform at festivals, local gala events and even to attend workshops like we did last year with Hok from So You Think You Can Dance!
TDI is like a family and we always welcome new faces to come and share the fun. I can honestly say that my daughter has grown leaps and bounds in her dancing and that she is full of enthusiasm and confidence. Whether she goes on to become a dancer or not, she has learned dedication, teamwork, comittment and discipline...all skills she will keep for life.
My daughters have been a part of the TDI family for almost 10 years now. We call it the “TDI family” because this wonderful dance school has indeed become a second home for my daughters.
While TDI offers all the benefits of the larger professional dance schools, with highly qualified and skilled dance instructors offering a wide array dance techniques, we especially love the school because it allows us the scheduling flexibility as well as the opportunity for the girls to learn in the intimacy of a smaller dance school environment.
I just wanted to take the time to send you off this short note regarding The Dance Institute and our experiences thus far. We have been a part of the TDI family for the past six years. Both of our daughters, Taylor and Chloe started in the recreational program and over the years have now moved into the competitive dance program.
We decided to join the TDI program because it was a very friendly and family oriented dance school. Our kids have always been encouraged and supported during their time at the institute. Dancing has brought discipline, strength and confidence to both our children.
The staff of teachers/instructors at The Dance Institute has been extremely talented and knowledgeable in the latest dance techniques. We look forward to another successful 2009-2010 dance season. Thank you.
