"We love Dance Works. All the dance instructors are amazing. Our daughter has been going since she was 2 1/2 (now 6) and she loves it. Every week she is nagging us to know when it is time for class. Not only is it fun for her but she has learned some great techniques as well. My wife and I have spent a lot of time in the waiting area watching our daughter and we've seen how well all the instructors receive new students."

"my daughter started in this academy almost 8 years ago. Since day 1, she loved it, they are very professional and patient with the students. I am so glad that I chose this academy for my daughter and I totally recommend it.

"My daughter has been dancing at Dance Works for the last 3 years, since she was 3 years old. She has taken ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop classes and she just can't get enough! Sending a huge thank you to Lori for your support and encouragement. We appreciate your passion, hard work, dedication to the recitals, and all of the opportunities you provide for your dancers. Can't wait to see the next show in a couple of weeks!"

"We have been with Dance Works for a few years now, and after just having a recital, I felt compelled to share my love for this studio and Lori. I have 2 girls going here and the environment has always been very enriching focusing on hard work and sticking to the basics of proper attire and classroom etiquette. This studio has such a welcoming vibe- all are welcome to share their love of dance, or just try it out. There is such great comradery among the students- they encourage each other and help each other. (It's not like Dance Moms!) Lori offers a great variety of classes at all levels including competition, and dance teams. My older daughter has grown by leaps and bounds since joining and my younger one is on her way to catching up! All of the teachers offer ways to work on their skills where appropriate, and all of them are so encouraging- they really pump the kids up and get them excited about whatever it is they're involved in. I couldn't recommend Dance Works and Lori more! I know this place is such an amazing positive influence on my girls in how they are not only developing as dancers, but as people- hard work, perseverance and the joys and rewards of performing. Check this place out!"

"Excellent dance studio. Small and intimate but top notch. My daughter is in the preschool class and just finished her first recital. I was very impressed with the show.  As long as my daughter continues to love dance she will be taking her classes at Danceworks."
