"My daughter has taken dance at Epic Dance Academy for 6 years, and she loves it! She has participated in the Dance Team for 2 years, and it was a wonderful experience. The quality of instruction and the positive attitude of the teachers and owner, Rhenee has been fantastic! We love the high-energy atmosphere at the studio! The studio owner, Rhenee knows each and every girl's name and makes it a point to talk with them. Her passion for dance and for the students at her studio are at the core of why we love Epic so much!"

I absolutely love this Dance Academy and so does my daughter. The owner Renee is so sweet and has a very pleasant personality and her daughter both make you feel welcome. The studio is stunning and always clean and the instructor's are great. Sign your child up for dance and tumbling here. You won't regret it!

"My daughter has been dancing with Epic Dance since she was 2 1/2. She is now 4 and would go to dance every night if she could! I also love that there is a parent sitting area where we can observe our children, so there is never a concern of what's going on in class.
A bonus- the office staff, manager and owner are around daily and easy to talk to regarding class schedules, tuition, costumes- really anything! I love this dance school and we are excited to dance here for years to come!"
