My daughter goes to The Dance Source, and we just had her birthday there. They did a fabulous job! They really paid attention to all the details, and the team was great at keeping the kids engaged. Highly recommend The Dance Source!
My daughter danced at 2 other studios before Adaptive Force. She will never go anywhere else. The studio is spotless clean & welcoming. The instructors are knowledgeable & incredible dancers / teachers. The owners, Mike & Amber Whittmers, are friendly & genuinely care about their dancers. I highly recommend AFPA to everyone considering dance lessons for your child.
My 10 year-old daughter began taking dance classes at Adaptive Force when she was 2 1/2. She has grown and experienced multiple levels of dance at Adaptive Force from petites, general weekly classes, performance company, and now the competition team. They have an excellent facility and dedicated teachers who love to teach and love their students. My daughter has received a high quality dance education at Adaptive Force and we couldn't imagine her dancing anywhere else..
My oldest began dancing with AFPA the year they opened, when she was 3 years old. She is now 12. Her younger sister has danced at AFPA for the last 6 years and my son has danced here for 2 years. This is a small, family owned business that is a valuable asset to our community! I've watched my kids grow into confident performers, which translates to confidence both on and off the stage. The owners are so supportive of their dancers and their families. Kids are given so many more performance opportunities than just an end of year recital. The shows they produce are creative, professional and so fun to watch! They hold master classes with some of the dance industry's leading choreographers (think people who have worked with J-Lo, Sia, Kanye West, etc). The owners are involved in tons of community events and volunteer their time freely. This is definitely the best studio in the north Scottsdale area, and families come from great distance to train here. Whether you just want a fun, recreational Academy class, or are looking to compete and train to be the very best AFPA can meet your dancer's needs.
From my experience, this is the best dance studio in Scottsdale, Arizona. If you are looking to enroll your child into a studio that will nurture and foster the development of a strong dancer with great social skills as well as a strong dance background, this is the place! Additionally, this is a great place to enroll your child if they are interested in becoming a professional dancer. Many pre-professional dancers go here for good reason. The owners are very personable, there are frequent master classes with high quality dancers and all the dance instructors are very good at what they do.
