I am grateful that my daughter has a place to explore and be her kooky self in a safe loving environment.

Penny Cefai

Parent

It is a fun, warm, welcoming and inclusive community that is committed to building not just technically skilled dancers but also confident and caring human beings.

Vicki

Parent

Our daughter has been attending Innovative Rhythm Dance Studios since 2012. Here she has found her “second family”, and with them, has taken part in all dance genres, and built a sense of community that extends past the dance studio. We couldn’t be more thrilled with their goals aligning with ours.

R&A

Parent

The students are challenged and held to certain expectations but given the skills and confidence to actually accomplish these expectations. It's an environment with great dance instruction that builds their dancer's up instead of tearing them down.

Kim Allan

Parent

I have always maintained that dance is an excellent activity for girls giving them body awareness, confidence, musicality and creative expression. IRDS provides excellent instruction and provides ample opportunities to explore and advance a child’s dance discipline. We will be fans forever and know that the intangible lessons learned here will carry our girls forward through life.
