Our daughter decided to return to ballet at the end of 5th grade. While she had been to two different studios and done well with dance, she had never warmed to performances nor tap (which was often required). After looking around, we decided on Concordia and it was a great decision. We were looking for a studio that had no requirement of tap and where competition and performances were not the primary focus. What we found was a place where we routinely see the kids support one another, teachers who do an amazing job building skills and confidence, and a support staff that goes way above and beyond to be helpful. Two years in, I have a child that LOOKS FORWARD to performing with her friends, routinely talks to the classmates outside of class to support them, and even tried tap again over the summer with zero complaints. I have wondered what caused the different perspective and I honestly believe it is the environment. It is nurturing, it is focused on being kind and really has a vibe that it exists for the kids and for the love of the arts. If you are looking for a place to cultivate a love of dance, offer exposure to new things in a low pressure environment and teachers that uplift and inspire, I highly recommend Concordia. I think you may love this place as much as we do.
