We love GDC! The staff is so knowledgeable, caring, and positive. They pour so much love into their students. Three of my children have danced here and I am so thankful that we found this studio. My children have danced in the past three holiday showcases and the showcases have become a much loved part of our Christmas celebrations. It’s so much fun to see the kids show us what they have been working on, get together with other dance families, and be a part of the holiday magic at the studio. The owner Trish is an amazing human and I am so glad to have my kids working with her!

My daughter attended GDC and now her six-year-old daughter attends, so the studio has taught two generations of my family. Not only are the instructors well-versed in proper training techniques, they are kind, talented, and wonderful people who nurture your children and help them to reach their full potential as dancers. The owner and director, Trish, is invested in her dancers and she is their biggest cheerleader. From the classes to the recitals to the competitive dance programs, everything is designed to give your dancer the best possible experience. Trish and her teachers have fostered an environment of love for dance and a loving community of solidarity, support, and lifelong friendships. Thank-you so much to GDC for your commitment to our dancers and their families!

My daughter would not be where she is today without Gotta Dance studio! A year ago my teenage daughter decided she wanted to tryout for pom in high school but she only had gymnastics training. She was welcomed with open arms from the students to the teachers and staff from the first day and every day since. From the positive environment to the top quality training from hip hop to pom class to technique turns and leaps , she always felt welcomed and never out of place. Her confidence skyrocketed!! Fast forward only like a year to freshman year and she made the freshman pom team at Liberty HS and was also voted captain!! I get teary when I think of all that Gotta Dance has done for my daughter. She wants more time at the studio and made the tryout for Gotta Dance Hip Hop Crew!! Thank you Gotta Dance!

Wonderful experience! The staff was friendly and accommodating, studio was clean and the class was interactive, well thought out and accessible for all. My daughter LOVED her mommy and me dance class and was very welcomed by the staff and especially her teacher, Ms. Mandy. The owner was friendly and informative and not pushy to sign up after a free trial, their work speaks for itself. Signed up to do weekly lessons! We can’t wait.
