Review of Innovative Rhythm Dance Studio...

Our two daughters have danced with Innovative Rhythm for over 10 years. They started at a recreational level and moved into the competitive program. I have always maintained that dance is an excellent activity for girls giving them body awareness, confidence, musicality and creative expression. IRDS provides excellent instruction and provides ample opportunities to explore and advance a child s dance discipline. They have extensive programs and provide the freedom for girls and boys to follow their curiosity and passion. But more importantly they foster a tremendous community of support. The friendships our daughters have developed are life long. And more importantly the management team are extremely sensitive to and aware of the many challenges girls encounter as they go through their teens. We had a serious health episode happen one evening at dance related to an emerging condition with our one child. Steph was extremely professional and communicative with us and followed up both that evening at the hospital in person and throughout the months following. It is in these critical times that you want to be certain your child is in good hands. I highly recommend this studio for parents who want a whole-child approach to dance and personal development. We will be fans forever and know that the intangible lessons learned here will carry our girls forward through life.
