WEAD is like a family to my teenage daughter. With the highest-quality teaching and a wonderfully supportive environment, she has developed a true passion for dance and is thriving. So grateful to have found this special studio!

Miss Madison and her team are the go to place for dancing in Richmond's west end. This studio has a high level of engagement with students and with providing dancing instruction appropriate to the learner. My teen-age daughter (a latecomer to dance) loves her classes here. When Covid rolled in, this studio made adjustments and when dancing instruction resumed they implemented protocols that demonstrated care and attention to detail. Perhaps, that's this studios mantra - "care and attention to detail." Thank you WEAD. We can't wait for the new studio to open!

I cannot say enough good things about West End Academy of Dance! The many instructors my daughter has had have been incredibly knowledgable, skilled, and excellent at teaching their dance style. More importantly, they all use a positive approach in their teaching, allowing the dancers to feel safe to take risks and push through challenging choreography. There are so many options in terms of dance styles and class times, making it easy to find ways to fill any dancer's schedule. I highly recommend WEAD - it is a wonderful studio for the dancer and the parents alike!

The entire team at WEAD is just fantastic. They have always been friendly, helpful, and accessible, even throughout the pandemic. They have gone above and beyond to make sure that their students have opportunities to practice and perform while maintaining strict guidelines to keep everyone safe and healthy. All of the teachers here are professional and extremely talented. The recitals are actually enjoyable from start to finish, which was a pleasant surprise. I have been to many performances put on by other dance schools where it feels like a chore to sit through the entire show just to see your dancer perform their piece. That is not the case here. I would gladly have attended and fully enjoyed the entire show even if my child wasn't in it at all!

We started at WEAD 6 years ago and both of my girls love it. The studio owner is the best person to work with and the teachers are phenomenal. Can't wait to see the new studio this fall! #WEADisthebest
