My kids, girl age 9 and boy age 6, started with Miss Janet at Dance Creations Dance Studio at the ages of 3 and 2.5. DCDS has become our family! Miss Janet and her teachers offer an inclusive, loving, caring environment that creates a culture of growth, friendship and family. The work-play balance and effort to help develop well rounded humans is like no other and both of my kids have thrived in this environment- becoming more confident, charismatic, fit, passionate and compassionate. After the 2024 recital I shared this with Miss Janet and want to share this sentiment with anyone interested in reading: "Thank you so much for working so hard to give these kids a professional performance level experience! It take tremendous work, passion, dedication and money - I want you to know we see that and are so grateful for you! I also wanted to thank you for including J*** in Big City - she connected with it on such a personal level - she really loved all of her dances, but that one was a little extra special. She uses visual art and dance to express herself and I am so appreciative that she was able to emotionally connect to that song and use it therapeutically A**** is so blessed in his role at DCDS as well! He is really coming out of his shell, absolutely loves all of his classes and is quite the performer. What a gift to have you as his teacher All this to say thank you infinity! We love you and can't wait for another fun filled year with DCDS!" read more

Amazing studio! The reason we choose DCDS for our children is that it is about uninhibited, sing along, march along, laugh with your friends FUN! My children have never, ever said "I don't want to go to dance class today" because it is a highlight of their week. I also appreciate the age appropriateness of the costumes and dance routines for young dancers. read more
