I found out about the Pretenders Studio from my cousin, Evyn. I was instantly interested and wanted to start taking classes there. I felt scared when I first walked into the studio; I had only ever danced for physical education at my school. Fortunately, everyone was extremely kind, and I felt comfortable very quickly. I started making friendships and feeling excited about my classes every week.

 

I enjoyed dancing at the Pretenders Studio so much that I added more classes and felt comfortable around my teachers and classmates. Everyone was very supportive and helpful, and I improved significantly in only one semester of dancing at the Pretenders Studio.

 

I am so happy to be in such a fantastic environment, and I always look forward to going to dance every day I have classes after school.

 

I couldn’t be happier and am so grateful that I joined this studio. I can’t wait to keep improving and enjoying every moment here.

 

I dance because there is so much to love about dance. I feel like the best version of myself when I’m dancing, and not only do I stay active, but I feel like I have a support system. I am so grateful for everything I’ve learned and the amazing community I get to be in.
