2015 and 2016 Parent Feedback

“We have always had wonderful teachers and love the character building aspect that goes with the dance training.”

“We love the feeling of community that is fostered by encouraging and nurturing dancers of all ages and ability levels with respect and compassion. We feel that our girls are growing as both dancers and individuals because of the example that is provided.”

“Our teachers were patient , kind and diligent . My kids love them and if and when they needed a push they did it with kindness.” (2016)

“You clearly value kindness, moral strength, and personal inner growth as well as good dance. You practice uniform and show costumes are fun and modern but still MODEST. I’m glad that competition is not a factor.”

“Excellent experience for my daughter. Amazing recitals! Kind caring staff. Have recommended you to many friends! So different in a positive way from other area dance schools. Don’t change!”

“We recommend [the studio] to many. Caring instructors. Modesty and building dancers up/encouragement. Care in choosing music (not inappropriate). Appreciate the heart of Ms. Diane who founded the studio and those who embrace her vision.” (2016)

“I was so appreciative of the positive recital experience I had the pleasure of watching. I am very proud that my daughter and niece were part of it. My daughter was anxious on arrival to the dress rehearsal and the staff made sure to bring smiles and positivity right to her! She had an amazing time and did awesome. I have been a part of many dress rehearsals and recitals growing up, but none have ever been so thoughtfully and beautifully done as the one I had the pleasure of seeing! The finale was beautiful!! I could clearly see during the dress rehearsal and the recital that this studio is about the dancers. It was a very joyful thing to experience.”

 “I like the talent Diane Matthews School brings to the students. Everyone is friendly.” (2016)

“The adult class instructors are very inspiring and great at recognizing the uniqueness of each dancer and helping them to bring forth their best. I feel so awesome doing the adult jazz and modern dances. My instructors help me feel empowered in my dancing.” (2016)

“My daughter’s teacher was amazing . She looked forward to coming to dance every week. Her teacher definitely has a way of connecting with the kids even I see outside the class.” (2016)

“We had a wonderful experience this year. There were times when my daughter didn’t want to get ready to go to dance, but once she got there, she had a great time and almost always came out of class smiling. The recital was absolutely wonderful. I found myself sitting there thinking how much I would like to write a thank you note for how great it was. The mix of older dancers and younger dancers within the program made everything flow wonderfully and it didn’t drag on like other recitals I have been to. You could tell that all of the dancers were having a great time and that they were being careful with their leaps so as not to hurt themselves. Wonderful school and such a loving environment. Bravo!!”

 “It has been a great experience for my daughter and the environment is not one of competition but rather being the best that you can be. That is why we have already recommended four other girls.” (2016)

“I love this dance studio and have referred many friends to come here and dance and will continue to do so in the future! Thank you for many great years of dance!!!”

“If someone wishes to excel at dance in an environment that values them as a person as well as a performer, this is the place.” (2016)

“Thank you for a fabulous year! You add so much to my daughter’s life. Keep up your wonderful spirit and caring way. We love you!”
