I'm very happy that we found Define Dance Space for my dance loving daughter. Define is a friendly, clean, safe space that is practical and drama free. Although my daughter is a recreational dancer, all of her teachers hold her to the same high expectations as the kids on the competition team and I really appreciate that. She loves it and is growing into a strong, confident, beautiful dancer at a high level studio without the discouraging feeling of being pushed aside and overlooked. Define has been such a positive and refreshing experience compared to other dance studios we've tried.
Love Define Dance Studio! The studio is so nice. The teachers are all so amazing! My daughter is 7 and just started and they really take the time with them and she has advanced so much in the short amount of time she has been there. I highly recommend Define Dance studio for anyone looking for a new studio! Can’t say enough good things about this place ♥️♥️♥️
Today marks our 1-year anniversary with Define Dance. We abruptly left our previous studio right before the competitive season was about to begin due to some major drama that could not be reconciled. It was a difficult time for me and my daughter due to the severity of the verbal abuse that was incurred from the other parents at our previous studio. When we came to Define, we were immediately welcomed with open arms. The owners knew what we were going through, even though we shared very little of our story. Apparently what we had been through is very common amongst other studios. Even though they had already had tryouts for their upcoming season, they willingly allowed my daughter to join the competitive team with no questions asked. The thing I love most is that this studio is DRAMA FREE...like literally, none! They pride themselves on maintaining a happy, healthy, supportive environment for kids and parents. From day one, the other dancers were so nice to my daughter and helped show her around. Even the older/advanced girls were befriending my 8 year old and trying to make her feel comfortable. I swore to myself that I was not going to engage with the other parents because I didn’t want to repeat our previous problems, but the other moms were proactive in reaching out to me and inviting me and my daughter to do things with them. It felt like we had been here for years. I am so thankful to the staff, parents, and dancers for being so accepting of us, especially when we were so broken. It’s so reassuring to know that despite the hardships we endured, there are still good people in this industry that truly care about teaching kids the right things.The teachers are all super amazing, not only in their approach, but their technique is spot on, they provide a well organized progression of skills, and a wide range of classes. They are more focused on teaching skills the correct way with proper execution than showing flashy tricks and shaking butts on stage. Define has a saying on their wall, “de•fine/dance space, noun, a place and/or group of people that builds strong character, confidence, and integrity within individual dancers. In defining dance, we are defining lives.” Truth be told, this isn’t just a saying, it’s their mission statement and they show it everyday 💜
I love this place, there is always someone to play with.Plus Jazmine has progressed a lot so thank you Define Dance Space.
This studio really shines. The instructors are talented and professional.
