My daughter is on her second year at Chesapeake Dance. She really like the hip hop class and is looking forward to tap and ballet too this year. Ms. Barbara is lovely and a great teacher.
My daughter has been with Chesapeake Dance for two years. It has been an amazing experience for her and she has grown so much in dance. She has been dancing since age 2 and since she has been with Chesapeake Dance we have really seen her progress. Miss Barbara does an amazing job with students pulling out the best in all of them. She is willing to work with you as far as scheduling to try and find classes and times that will work for you. Her recitals are beautifully done, fun and run in such a timely manner. It is a pure joy to watch my daughter dance up on stage and show off everything she worked hard at all year long. I would highly recommend this studio.
This year is my daughter first year at the Chesapeake Dance Center. She is loving it. She always looking forward to go to the class every week. We heard about this place from a friend. I am glad I was able to enroll my daughter to take the Pre-Ballet class. Ms. Barbara is great with kids. She is compassionate and very patience with them.
I have two children in Chesapeake Dance and we are thrilled with the girls progress since starting. We started over the summer and also enrolled our girls in summer camps. The girls love their special dance classes and Miss Barbara is top notch. She is truly a gem and so incredible with the girls. My little one is very high energy and Miss Barbara always know how to help guide her to pay attention. I love the discipline she teaches my girls and I am very happy with her assistant as well. If you have any child interested in dance Miss Barbara is the person you want teaching them.
One of my daughters has been at Chesapeake dance center for over 7 years and my other just started. Both of my girls love it there! All of the teachers are amazing and the director/owner is wonderful. The recitals are gorgeous at the roper theater too. Absolutely love it here!
