“I love when kids think they won’t enjoy dancing and later surprise themselves by how much they love learning a routine! Our classes are always fresh and fun with relevant music they love. They are fast paced so kids are up and moving from the first minute. Teachers are always shocked that students are so engaged and remember a whole routine in just one lesson!”
— Ashleigh Andrews, Director and founder of Dream St Dance Company
