What Parents Say
We instantly fell in love with Polaris Dance Institute! My girls look forward to their multiple dance classes each week. The teachers, staff and dancers are all very supportive and encouraging with one another. Polaris has quickly become our second family. I can not imagine dancing anywhere else!
My daughter has taken classes at Polaris in both a recreational capacity as well as a company member for the last 5 years. Dancing at Polaris has been an incredible experience with challenging choreography for competitions and recital, and an emphasis on skill and technique in regular classes. Both myself and my daughter have thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Polaris Dance Institute and would recommend it to any one seeking professional dance instruction no matter your level of experience or commitment.
We have been at Polaris Dance Institute for 5 1/2 years! Not only has my daughter grown in all of her dancing styles, but we gained a family. Wonderful teachers and friendly atmosphere. We would recommend anyone to come and experience this amazing dance studio!
I have two young girls who are thriving at Polaris Dance Institute! Their range of teachers in so many different styles allows my girls to become versatile in each genre as well as learn how to adjust to different teaching styles. The galaxy theme has allowed the studio to attract male and female dancers. This studio will have a great future!
Moving to Polaris has been the best dance decision we have made and you can’t begin to really know how much of a POSITIVE impact you have had on my daughter. The Maxwell’s value what are daughter is learning, it is so much more than pirouettes and shuffles….it’s life lessons, leadership and how to be strong… For that I thank you all and we look forward to what the rest of the season holds… Keep doing what you believe in and keep changing lives.
Our daughter has danced at Polaris since the doors opened in 2016. We love our dance family and are thankful for the dancers, parents, and staff that make the studio feel like home. Of course, you cannot have a great studio without great instructors. They pour their heart and energy into making these kids look and feel great on and off the stage.
