This is the perfect setting if you want your child to learn the fundamentals and to be trained correctly. From what I can tell, all the parents feel the same way. Their instructor is GREAT with the dancers. She communicates with them and will provide feedback to parents regarding their child's development. I'm looking forward to my daughter being with them for a long time

If there's one thing I love about this place it's how dedicated the teachers are. Mr. Alexei and…read moreMs. Ronna have such a true passion for ballet and teaching. My daughter had no prior dancing experience and has only been in their class for about 10 months and in such a short time, she's learned so much. The classes are small so the teachers can focus on ALL their students and provide quality instruction. The teachers genuinely care about their students and their passion for the performing arts is inspiring. There are dance studios all over town but we choose to drive 21 miles farther because IBTI is the best! Having a great tasting room just below the studio is just icing on the cake

Wendy and Amy are invested in these childrens entire lives and they care far beyond the dance moves they are teaching. The students and their families are an amazing testament to the type of studio that is run at SDS. Everyone is so nice and welcoming of each other and it truly is a big dance family. The students are taught so much more than dancing and it shows when you sit back and watch how they behave and interact with each other. I especially appreciated seeing how all of the older students are so nice to the younger generation who are all looking up to them with admiration. We were lucky to find SDS and I am very grateful for the growth I have seen in my daughters.

Teachers genuinely care about their "dance kids" and treat parents with the utmost respect. Front desk staff keeps everyone up to date on when tuition, costumes, etc are due. Their Facebook keeps me up to date on what is coming up for the studio. Their Instagram is packed with awesome photos of their competition and the mainstream dancers! If you are looking for a fun and safe environment for your kids to dance, tumble, or join a great competition team, THIS is the studio to be at! They also offer birthday parties, batting and hitting instruction for baseball/softball, and private lessons!

She's now branched out into tumbling and the cheer team. As a former competitive dancer myself, Ashley definitely knows what she's doing and runs this studio so seamlessly! Truly such a welcoming environment, we felt a part of the family from the moment we walked in for a trial class.

We have been here almost 6 years and have loved every minute of it. Ashley is always on top of bringing the best activities to her dancers plus choreographers.

They know how to push dancers to reach their full potential and take their skills to the "next level" while keeping the environment positive and inspiring. ​We couldn't be happier to be a part of the Next Level family. Highly, highly recommend

They use to only have a couple of benches inside but I'm happy they added some booths. My family and I have been coming here for a few years and it's always a great experience. Their ice cream is delicious, and a personal favorite is their 50/50 freeze. The only reason I knocked it down one star is because they usually only have one employee working. This is fine when the store is empty, but when there are bigger groups it takes a while, so be patient. They also feature and sell work from local artists. This spot is a must try!

Dr. Pazo is a gifted musician, a responsive and consummate professional in his work. Our funeral…read morehome director connected us with Dr. Pazo as I requested a bagpipe player at the graveside portion of my mother's funeral this August. Mom (and I) have Scottish heritage and she grew up with her Scottish Dad singing Highland songs to her and in turn sang them to me. So it would be an understatement to say this music was a very important component of Mom's funeral service. Dr. Pazo phoned me beforehand to get a sense of what the service would be like and what our musical requests were. He was compassionate, kind, and efficient at a time when I was in shock from my mom's death but needed to call on my executive functioning skills for funeral planning. Definitely a challenging time but I was so relieved that the bagpipes would be played at my mom's funeral. When the day arrived it was an incredibly moving and powerful experience to arrive at the graveside and see Dr. Pazo in his full regalia and hear the haunting sound of the resonant bagpipes which filled the air. The bagpipes and the beautiful songs Dr. Pazo played gave a weight and power, a somber honor to my mother's life that I and my family will always remember. We grateful for Dr. Pazo's artistry, empathy, and power as he played the bagpipes. Some time after mom's funeral I watched Queen Elizabeth's funeral. When I heard and saw the bagpipe procession, I said, "I think we had a better bagpipe player at mom's funeral." That's how great Dr. Pazo is! List of Songs Played: Prelude: On Eirin's Green Shores, My Home, O Flower of Scotland, My Bonnie Lass, Skye Boat Song, The Isle of Innisfere, You Raise Me Up, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God Processional : O Danny Boy Commital Song: Auld Lang Syne Potslude: Abide With Me, Going Home
