HJ Dance has been a wonderful experience for our daughter. She has grown as a dancer due to the knowledge, skill, and care of the teachers, such as the director Miss Hilary. Her love for dance has grown thanks to her time with HJ Dance and the friendships she’s made are priceless. We love our HJ Dance family!
HJ Dance has been such a wonderful addition to our lives! Growing up I had zero experiences when it came to the dance world and was extremely nervous to jump in. Three years later with two years on company (competition team) we are hooked! Hilary has created such a welcoming environment for the dancers as well as the families. The amount of growth I have seen in my girls both as dancers and individuals since joining HJ astounds me! We love our HJ family and are here to stay!
Our son has danced at HJ dance for over 10 years. It is a small inclusive studio. Everyone is family.Stephan has grown up here, since the age of 3. The teachers are all well trained, loving , caring and loyal. They go above and beyond. Stephan’s confidence, discipline ,and positivity are outstanding. It follows him in everything he does.He has made life long friends!! We love this place. We love Miss Hilary. It’s where “Teamwork makes The Dreamwork”. #boysdancetoo ❤️🕺
Amazing teachers that are talented and fun! My daughter has been dancing at HJ Dance for 11 years! Great teachers, lovely families and fun atmosphere! The studio is warm and welcoming. My daughter has made friends that will last a lifetime! If you would like to get your child involved in a dance studio, HJ Dance is it!!
Very disappointed in how Hilary treated our granddaughter Madilyn and our family. I thought this was an inclusive dance school with goal of teaching dance and performance as well as kids working together as a team. After 2 years on the performance team (Madilyn was asked to tryout and made it) she was cut without warning at age 5!!! Hilary has not spoken to us since this occurred which was before Nationals. This has been very hard as her best friends are on the team. I’m sharing this in hopes that no one else has the same experience especially since could be even more devastating with an older child as Madilyn doesn’t really understand. Drs.
