our dancers (& their parents) say

“Best dance studio I have ever been too! The atmosphere is welcoming and super friendly. I felt like I belonged from the moment I stepped through the front doors and Nicole is a fantastic dance teacher! ”

"[My child] has grown confident in her dancing and wants to continue to get better and this studio is the best place for that".

“A great class! Enjoyed my time in person but really appreciated the option for recordings when the time didn’t work for baby.”

“Great class to get moving again, reconnect with the dance community, and learn new movement. The instructors bring the joy to dance.”

“After trying other studios, this is the first time our 2yo daughter has enjoyed a dance class. The atmosphere in the studio is welcoming and fun. She asks almost every morning if dance class is today! We’re hoping she will continue to progress to other classes.”

“My daughter attends Highland classes at Sarosa Studio with Nicole Odo. My daughter joined the dance school this past year, with 5 years of previous experinece, and has been welcomed with open arms. classes have been nothing short of awesome! My daughter receives regular feedback and corrections. She has also received video critiques and a personal note from her instructor on why she is glad to have her there. She feels included as a member of this dance family and finds everyone to be helpful and kind. Her technique has improved and she is progressing in her learning and feels motivated to keep pushing herself. I appreciate everything Nicole and all the other instructors have done for her.”

"Very warm and welcoming to my very reserved toddler!"
