What have people said about our toddler and preschool classes?

"Love Manda’s Rhythm and Dance. My daughter has been dancing here since she was 3 years old. The growth I have seen amazes me everyday. The staff goes above and beyond to teach the dancers different skills, foster friendships and most importantly they have fun while they do it! The studio is clean, organized and even has a welcoming area for parents to sit while their child dances. The friendly and professional staff members are very efficient in answering emails, questions and always ready to assist." - Emily Jankowski

"My son is entering his fifth year of dance and my daughter her third with Manda's. We have had nothing but the best experiences here. The teachers are amazing and both my kids truly love them all. The kids love it so much they keep asking for more and more classes. Over the past year especially my son has grown so much as both a dancer and person. They emphasize building confidence, skill, and good sportsmanship. My son has made the best group of friends at the studio. Even after spending a long weekend at recital with his teachers and friends he wanted nothing more than to come back and dance the very next day. I recommend this studio to anyone who is looking for a place for their kid to flourish and grow." - Devon Koh
