Testimonials“Our family's eleven years of dancing with WDS has
been exceptional! Through dance, our daughters have learned
to be poised, balanced, graceful and gracious young ladies.
The spirit of Washington Dance Studio is what truly makes
it so unique. The instructors have an energy for dance and
for life and that energy is reflected in their dancers. As
our daughter walked away from the annual dance recital this
spring she exclaimed, 'This was the best night of my life!'
What better endorsement could there be? I highly recommend
WDS." “As a former student, and now a parent of a student
at Washington Dance Studio, I have found the experience of
dance instruction to very beneficial as a way to develop
grace and an appreciation of dance. More importantly, I also
feel the teachers at the studio help the students to develop
self-confidence, discipline, and a good sense of body image
through an emphasis on technique and form that cultivates
the true talents of their dancers.” “My daughter has been taking dance classes with Washington
Dance Studio every year since she was in kindergarten. Seeing
her leave each lesson with a big smile and an extra bounce
in her step lets me know how much she enjoys attending Washington
Dance Studio - so much so that we are now up to three classes
a term as well as private lessons! The instructors take the
time to get to know each student and provide an enormous
amount of positive reinforcement while still helping them
improve their form and technique. I have seen this reinforcement
and loving attitude help students gain more confidence, overcome
body-image perceptions and develop discipline. Holiday workshops
throughout the year provide additional opportunities for "fun" learning.
While the Performance Company attends competitions, the learning
atmosphere is anything but competitive. Each student is encouraged
to learn at their own pace and will only be moved to the
next level (such as pointe) when their bodies are strong
enough, so as not to do any permanent physical damage to
the student. It is this constant concern for my daughter's
well being, and the focus on learning while still having
fun and allowing young girls to remain age appropriate, that
I highly recommend Washington Dance Studio to all parents!” |
