Testimonials


A Time To Dance Studio was a part of our daughter’s life for 13 years. The instruction she received was instrumental not only for dance but also to help in other areas of her life. She learned technique, muscle memory, how her body works, determination, grit, dedication, grace, as well as made many friendships that she has taken with her into college/ adulthood.

The teachers are dedicated to their students not only as dancers but also as everyday human beings. I truly believe they were a big part of our daughter’s spiritual growth, bringing her closer to God.

When we look back to all the years ago and think would we make the same decision and enroll her in dance? The answer is YES! It was worth the investment! It has helped mold her into the person she is today.

I first stepped foot in ATTD when I was 7. Miss Pam was my first teacher. I remember an atmosphere of love, encouragement & acceptance. At the studio, I was surrounded by woman who loved the Lord, loved me, & loved to teach me dance. I have so many positive memories associated with the 10 years I took dance lessons there (& lasting friendships)! The teachers always beautifully balanced teaching excellence & hard-work along with grace & understanding. I was taught that all bodies could worship God & that you didn’t have to look perfect or dance perfect to have a beautiful impact for God’s kingdom through dance.

When I became a mom of girls I knew I would bring my girls to the same place that taught me how to love Christ more, love & respect the body He gave me, & how to praise God through movement.

I’ve now been a “dance mom” for 8 years & watching my girls learn ballet here has been so wonderful. They have some of the same teachers I had! The ATTD team is always so delightful to work with & I’m so thankful my girls have amazing role-models to be surrounded with. I truly thank God for this studio

ATTD is nothing short of from a fabulous place for your children to learn dance and learn about worship through dance. Our family has been with the ATTD for more than 15 years. They put the dancer before the dance but do not compromise the technique. I am comfortable that my child is in a safe space to learn and grow from well trained instructors.
