We've been at Excel for 9 years now. My older daughter took classes for fun and my younger has been in company for three years. Excel is a supportive, welcoming place or any level of interest. The teachers engage with dancers on a personal level. My youngest had years of health problems, and the teachers worked with her within her physical limits, without calling attention to it. Recital music and costumes are age-appropriate, which is surprisingly hard to find in dance studios. We absolutely love Excel and recommend it to everyone we know.

We love Excel! My daughter has taken classes here for the past 8 years. She loves the wide variety of dance classes and styles that are offered and also loves her teachers. She loves that her teachers not only teach dance but also incorporate health and wellness into their curriculum as well. I love that dance has helped my daughter become the confident young lady she is today. She has been given so many amazing opportunities and experiences since joining Excel Dance Studio and we look forward to the many more opportunities and experiences Excel Dance Studio will provide her in the upcoming years.

My daughter has been going to Excel for almost 8 years. I'm so impressed with how the teachers care about my daughter's character as much as her development in dance. They truly care for her and have gotten to know who she is. Whether you want a fun dance class or a true dance home that will invest in you child … Excel is where I would always suggest you bring your child. The teachers and Mrs. Katie have created a great environment to build leaders and skilled dancers.

We absolutely love Excel. It is like a second home to our kids and we our proud to have them dance there. The owner, Katie, has done an incredible job fostering an environment that is healthy for growing girls and boys. As a mother to elementary aged children I know they are surrounded by older dancers who are taught about body positivity and how to cope with bullying and self esteem. The work Katie, the staff, and the company dancers do in the community is also a benefit for my children to see and learn from. When part of the Excel family you get more than just dance knowledge. Dancers gain confidence, friends, a commitment to community and an all over great experience

Excel Dance Centre is so much more than a dance studio. It truly is a second home and a warm and loving family. Ms. Katie, the owner, is a proud mother hen and cares so deeply for every person that walks into the building. She has a way of making every dancer feel like they are her favorite and is one of the best examples of a leader for my daughter to look up to. Every teacher we have had in our five years at Excel have made my daughter feel accepted, loved and encouraged!
In addition to dance skills, the students are learning life long skills about how to interact with one another, give back to the community, the older students help the younger students throughout the year. When my daughter walks into the studio she feels like a rockstar with the hugs and hellos she gets from her peers, older dancers and staff! The confidence, skills acquired, amazing memories, time to shine on stage, friendships made and strong leaders to look up to is why we love Excel and it will always be our dance home.

My daughter has been dancing at Excel for nine years. The studio has become her second home through inspiring and challenging classes, highly skilled teachers who encourage them to reach their potential, and lifelong friends made along the way! Ms. Katie and her staff teach dance and technique, but also reinforce character building skills that the dancers can carry with them into the future! Grateful for all that Excel has taught my daughter to grow and I highly recommend this studio HOME!
