| My daughter started with The Dance Factory and Miss Tina at the age of three. Nine years later, she is still very active at The Dance Factory and is joined by her two sisters. My three daughters look forward to their classes and the interactions with their teachers. I have the utmost respect for Miss Tina and all of the teachers.
I have been very impressed over the years with the care and the knowledge passed onto my children. Tina and the staff know how to push the children to get the most out of them, but also know when to hold off until the child is ready, both physically and emotionally, for the next level. The honesty and sincerity of their advice is always appreciated.
My children know that when they enter the studio, they are greeted by a smile (and cookies) from Miss Ann. These smiles continue into their classroom with their teachers, and most often is followed by a hug.
I have talked to many dance parents during recitals/competitions/workshops. The level of knowledge and ability of the students at The Dance Factory are surpassed by none. I think this is due to the teachers starting with the basics, mastering the basics and building from there. To see my oldest daughter at home with my younger two practicing and dancing around the house really shows this. Often she will instruct them by saying, ìMiss Tina says your foot should be turned this way.î
Being there for nine years has really allowed me to see young children molded and advised into their adulthood and even after they graduate high school. A childís health and education is always stressed by Tina and her staff. She is always interested in how the students are doing in school.
I could very easily transfer my children to a closer dance studio, but the experiences given to my children, the variety of classes and the care of the staff keep me coming back. My children love going to The Dance Factory. Homework is done and grades are maintained because they know that if they are not, dance class will be missed. This cannot be replaced.
Thank you for the past nine years and I look forward to many more years to come. |
| Our daughter started taking dance three years ago. We were unfamiliar with dance studios around our area so after much research and referrals, we decided on the Dance Factory in Delavan, WI.
At first, we were unsure what to expect because our daughter is a very shy and quiet little girl. Most of the time, she wouldnít answer when people asked her a question and would hide behind us. We couldnít even begin to imagine how sheíd do performing in front of a huge audience.
Boy were we surprised! Here we are, three years later and our daughter is a completely different kid. She has come out of her shell; sheís performing in front of people without any problem; sheís confident in her abilities and more importantly, herself. If you would have asked us three years ago if any of this was possible, we would have told you absolutely not. We had tried everything and nothing worked.
Iíd love to say that itís all because of her love of dance, but that isnít the only reason. Miss Tina, Miss Cyndee, etc. and all of the other dancers, dance instructors and Dance Factory staff have helped encourage her to do her best and have respect and confidence in her abilities. They havenít just taught her dance moves, theyíve taught her self-esteem, the ability to believe in herself, confidence, dignity, respect, love, and much more. Our daughter comes alive when sheís dancing and itís the most beautiful thing to watch. We are so proud of Jayde and canít thank everyone at the Dance Factory enough for the person they have helped her become ñ THANK YOU!
The Dance Factory isnít just a studio, itís a family and we are very proud to be a part of it!
