TESTIMONIALS
What Dancers & Parents
Are Saying About TDC
"The life lessons and discipline I learned while training at TDC reflect majorly on the person I am today. I learned what it meant to work hard. I learned the importance of working on a team and having to sacrifice little things along the way to reach an end goal. Some of my closest friends in the world came from my years on Company. People I can't imagine my life without!"
Allie
TDC Alumna '15
"My daughter has danced at TDC since she was 4 yo and her growth -- both physically and mentally has been remarkable. The amazing instructors ensure that they are not only teaching technique, but also discipline, respect, self-confidence and teamwork -- all things that go very far OUTSIDE of the dance studio. Most of all, they bring so much joy and fun to each class..."
Stella
TDC Parent
"Our daughter, Olivia has been dancing at The Dance Centre for 7 years. She's learned so much, not only in the many genres of dance but also confidence, compassion, and a strong work ethic. The teachers really care and teach the importance of unity, hard work and dedication. You can tell when you see the dancers perform! We look forward to it every year. TDC is simply the best!"
