I have to say, there's a lot of mixed reviews here but we've only had a great experience so far as our first year comes to a close. We actually take another dance class at another local studio and we're not nearly as impressed with them as we are with Bender. Miss Jacqueline is by far the best teacher my daughter has ever had. SO professional and so kind and just really great at her job. This fall my daughter will be enrolled in more than one class here at Bender.
