My daughter is entering her 3rd year at 8 Count. The transformation that I have seen in her dancing is unbelievable. She has improved in every aspect of dance since we came to this studio. The teachers ensure that every student is taught excellent technique. My daughter has received individual attention and has become not only a strong dancer but a confident young lady. The caring, nurturing environment encourages growth on and off the dance floor. She has made friendships that will last a life time and we feel part of a family. The leadership is top notch and the staff do a wonderful job recognizing each students individual strengths. My only regret is not coming to 8 Count sooner.

So thankful for this dance studio and the overall support it has given both of my daughters. The teachers nurture them, inspire them, push them, educate them and above all sincerely care about them as not only dancers, but little ladies. We tried another studio due to closeness to our home. We didnt even make it 3 weeks before we immediately decided that it was worth the drive to have the experience for our daughters and know that they were getting LIFE skills from their studio time. I cant imagine being anywhere else with my girls. We are right were we need to be - Rocking the 8!

All three of my daughters have attended 8 Count PAA at some point during the past 7 years. Not only is the owner and instructors phenomenal with educating, inspiring and cheering on my girls, the parents are just as encouraging. Every year I see so much growth and determination in my youngest daughter and the memories she makes here will last her a lifetime. Thank you 8Count for being an amazing family!

8 Count Dance is a amazing. The owner runs her business with class, pride, dignity, love, heart and soul. She ALWAYS has the dancers best interest in heart and offers unique and fabulous opportunities. The level of talent and expertise is beyond my expectations. We love Tara, her staff, dancers and parents and are proud to be a part of The 8 Count Dance family. Rock The 8!

We are ending our third year at this studio, and cannot say enough about the love, support, and commitment of this studio. The forever friendships my daughter has made, confidence , and drive she has show on stage is all due to Tara and her staff. They are committed to building the dancers up to their fullest potential, and making them feel good about themselves along the way. The drive and hard work in my daughter is not only because of her commitment to dance, but also the dedication, hard work, and excellence provided by 8 Count Dance studio and their staff. A++++ studio.

This is a not only a wonderful studio, but it is full of caring people who treat each other like family. My daughter receives an excellent dance education from caring staff who not only teach her how to dance but also how to be kind, humble, and supportive to her fellow dancers and friends. The Dance Moms at the studio all help each other with pick ups and drop offs and anything else that might arise. The studios continued growth is only a testament to what a wonderful place it is for our children to learn, grow, and blossom as both dancers and people.

I recently graduated from this studio, and the friends Ive met and memories Ive made were irreplaceable. I have learned more than just dance by being at this studio. Tara definitely puts all of her students first and always tries to give us the best experience possible. 8 count is like a family.

Overall it was a disappointing and discouraging experience for my child. Competition dance is heavily sold by the owner, and after a series of crowded classes and private lessons (an added expense) she was put on a a competition team. The fees were astronomical; $100 for basically a t-shirt called a costume. More mandatory privates, weekend and Sunday practices, with girls being chastised if they missed even for schoolwork. The recital was split to 2 performances so you can imagine how much tickets cost for your family to go to BOTH! The classes were crowded in the small rooms and unless you were a dance mom who hung at the studio your child was in the back row. The quality of dance did not correspond to the amount I spent
