My daughter experienced her first class with dance 101 this past spring. The owner Emily is great with all her students. I looked at several places and really like the fact it's takes more time to plan out the classes for my the younger students (3's and 4's etc). For that age I want her to have fun and not worry about competitions etc. my daughter experienced both ms Emily as her teacher and ms alli. Both are awesome. My daughter never wanted to miss class and had so much fun. Before dance 101 my daughter cried at a gymnastics class every time i walked away. After one class at dance 101 she didn't cry one time and after a few months performed at the end of season recital. Love love love dance 101.
