Testimonials
From Parents:
Dear Backstage Dance,
I have been so impressed by the quality program you have offered my daughter. Even though she is two, you provide a serious, fun, and developmentally appropriate dance experience. Ella Kate LOVES dance time every week. I see her "practice" the moves at home, too. Everyone I come across at the studio is kind, helpful, and professional. It really impressed me when Talia took over the little elves class to ensure that the children had continuity with one instructor. Backstage Dance Co is a wonderful part of our lives. Thank You.

"Getting my child involved in dance was important to me, but at 3 I didn't really have high expectations. My daughter has really enjoyed the class, and has learned a lot. I was pleasantly surprised. I have been very impressed with the professionalism of the staff. "

"My daughter Tatum is 2 years old and is in the Little Elves ballet class. I was hesitant to sign her up at first because she was so shy. I thought it might be a waste of time for a 2 year old to take ballet. However, in the past few months that she has been in the class, she has come out of her shell and is doing better each week. She has become more outgoing outside of dance class as well and I attribute it to dancing. I have not met anyone at Backstage Dance Co. that I do not like. Everyone is so pleasant and helpful! We expect to be taking lessons there for years to come!"

"This is my daughter's first experience with dance class. She absolutely loves it! Her teachers always have age-appropriate activities that excite the young girls. They treat them like the "little princesses" that they are.
Every time we drive past the studio, my daughter will yell "DANCE" from the back seat! She looks forwards to her class every week. She will ask "Is it Thursday yet?"
The staff at Backstage Dance Company are very organized and efficient. They communicate with emails, newsletters, and bulletin boards effectively. They have carefully planned for the maximum benefit for students and parents. The new studio is attractive and spacious. I love being able to watch her on the television monitors. I also especially enjoy being able to sneak across the street for occasional 'kid-free' shopping!"

"Elizabeth LOVES going to dance and we always have to have a weekly count down to dance night. She is 4 and this is her first year in the Little Fairies class. She comes running out of class with a smile each week and a special sticker to show me!"

"My daughter Layla has been dancing with Backstage Dance Co. since they first opened their doors in 2005. We have been very pleased with the instructors' dedication and level of professionalism. It has been a pleasure to see the studio grow over the years - in number of students & staff, as well as studio space! BDC has been an outlet for Layla to express herself creatively and has boosted her self-esteem and confidence as a young girl. We are grateful for all they have done and will continue to do for her."

"For our son, Frankie, dancing at Backstage Dance Company has been , and will continue to be, great! The staff and instructors are the best! They are very child friendly, know what they are doing and make both the child and the parents feel like they are finally at home.
We, as parents, love being able to watch our son dance and feel like he can just be himself and express himself through his dancing. PLUS, the skills that Frankie is learning through dancing will help him in future sports such as football, basketball and track. It is great to hear our son “Tapping “ his way along the road of life and through the rooms and halls of our home.
We partly attribute our son’s confidence, attention to detail, and all around happiness to his abilities to dance and the instructors at Backstage Dance Company for being patient, kind, and loving to our son. We recommend Backstage Dance Company to everyone!"

From Students:
"My name is Rylie Davis, I am 8 years old and have taken lessons from Backstage Dance for 3 years. I always take 2 lessons back to back because I live in tazewell, TN. No telling how many dance schools I pass by to take at Backstage. My favorite parts of the year are the recitals but the summer camp and the christmas parade are great too. i only wish Backstage Dance Company was closer to my house so I could take more lessons!"

"Dancing is awesome! Hip Hop is the best! I love it!"
