Families

“My daughter describes her first week in the competitive program as spectacular. We were already familiar with the teachers at Strive because we were previously involved with the pre-competitive program. We couldn’t be happier with the teachers at Strive. They are talented, professional, creative, and they encourage the dancers to strive for their best. I have seen my daughter form amazing friendships at the studio and I appreciate how the older dancers support and show the younger one’s kindness and respect. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of instruction at this studio” -Lauren F.
