My experience with Miss Donna's carries over three years. Yes, competition dancers pay more, a lot, but that is the nature of the beast. I have not found any instructor to be irresponsible when it comes to teaching their students. Miss Donna has been in business since around1955. She knows dance. A large majority of the teachers are former students yet she is involved in day to day instruction and knows what's doing on in every class. The prices here are comparable and the outfits are of higher quality than many others.
