Love everything about Dancing for Donations and the staff. They work hard to include all, including different abilities and other ways kids are unique, and help them to celebrate their differences! My daughter dances and takes music lessons and my son helps as a buddy. I can’t think of anywhere else they would have these opportunities. So blessed to have this place!

For an all inclusive studio our children have felt everything but included. The owner when we went for dance camp and when we went to the pageant was not very friendly at all. Definitely felt like Sara only cared about how much money she was making and not about the kids. We signed up for a pageant and requested my daughter have a buddy walk with her. Yet she was sent out on her own and she was so terrified. If you dont have a visible disability then they appear to brush you off. And at the studio they dance very simple. So if your child has a disability but is a good dancer they dont get to excel at dancing, they are held back.

We have been going to D4D for close to 6 months now. Caroline has learned so much and is always dancing at the house. She adores Mrs. T and her friends in the Tendus & Tumbling class. The payment system is simple and it’s very easy to communicate! They have lots of fun and very affordable extra fun activities for all ages! I’m so excited for the recital!

I have been bringing my daughter here for about 2 months. I cant start to express how much these classes have helped her. She used to get easily frustrated when she wasnt instantly good at a new task, and now she has a bit more grit. I was at a complete loss on how to help her overcome this. The teachers have been so kind and patient with her, even on days where she isnt feeling the most cooperative. Im so glad we decided to start dance classes for her. It is her favorite part of every week.

We have been dancing with this studio for a year now. Every semester, the kids want to take more and more classes. They would be there everyday of the week if we allowed! They offer such a great variety and have actually made many dance classes and programs (musical theatre) affordable for our family of 6 on one working class income. I am so grateful that my kids can be a part of such a wonderful organization!!❤️❤️

Signed my daughter up last week, after multiple emails that I initiated I finally got the zoom info on Nov. 3. According to the schedule for virtual classes on their website, the class should’ve been today at 4. I emailed Sara and she said there is no virtual class.I now have a new schedule and we will see how it goes.

I found this gem of a studio and I’m so happy I did! I looked at other places and got the feeling that you have to have “the look” to be there, where all the children were the same size and “looked” the same. Dancing for Donations welcomes all and you can feel it! I absolutely love how this business is operated and love how well Sara responds! You can tell the staff LOVES what they do! The children do not have to be perfect....they can be there for fun or for dance therapy, as I see it! Dance is so important and beneficial, and this studio provides the best for their students! The cost is an extra bonus! My Daughter wouldn’t be able to go without such amazing prices, so thank you!!!! 🤗

My children have been dancing with Ms Sara and Ms Amanda for a few years now. They have taught (all of us!) so much about dance. We love all of the teachers that we have been blessed to work with. This is a place of dance, love, and belonging. If you or your children are interested in any kind of dance: ballet, tap, acro, hip hop, etc..you have found your home. Thanks for all you do!

My 5 year old has been dancing with Dancing for Donations for almost a year and we can honestly not say enough good things about every aspect! There is a huge variety of programming, for all ages and abilities, offered by a very talented and caring group of teachers. On top of that, the classes are very affordable. In addition to being a non profit, they continue to do fundraisers for other community groups as well. As COVID hit, D4D adapted their programming to be virtual. When they were safely able to reopen, they chose to offer in person, virtual, outdoor and indoor mask required classes. This has enabled all of the dancers to attend classes within their (and their parents) comfort level and is much appreciated! Trust me when I say you will not regret joining the amazing programming at Dancing for Donations! With something for everyone including ballet tap, acro, musical theater, vocal, lyrical, adult classes, hip hop, yoga, homeschool groups, performance teams and more, you will definitely not regret signing up!

Sara and her team are the most amazing people. They treat every child of every ability like they are a shining star. Our daughter loves dance and finally has a place where she feels at home and is celebrated for her accomplishments. Such a fun studio to be a part of. They offer a variety of classes as very reasonable prices and are always giving back to the community. You won’t be disappointed!

We absolutely LOVE Dancing for donations!Our daughter has danced there for 2 years now, and still enjoys every minute of it.The teachers have became family to us, not just teachers. It really makes you feel welcome when you can build such a special bond with them.The classes are the most affordable around at just $25 a month or $65 a month for up to 5 classes!You get a free trial class, and then decide whether or not your child wants to commit to classes.If it weren’t for sara and her mission to make dance classes affordable to us in the community, there is no way our daughter would be able to dance.We are forever grateful for sara and the studio.The class sizes are also limited, and the teachers usually have an assistant, or helper when needed.Sara (studio owner and operator) really shows our children her love and passion for dancing and working with children of all abilities.You will NOT be disappointed!

I love Dancing for Donations! Especially Ms. Sarah & Ms. Amanda!!! Our older daughter spent some time at the studio, and now we have our 3 year old enrolled. Every week our daughter looks forward to class, and begs almost every day to go. She is only 3 years old but is already learning so much! I would DEFF recommend this place.

These ladies go above and beyond teaching and loving the children, they care about the families... help any way they can and never discourage but continually build up our children. Teaching not only dance, but unconditional love and friendship.

Savannah, the instructor for my daughters class, is so great with all the kids, and my daughters loves going to dance! The parents sit in a separate area, but can watch the lesson on the closed circuit TV, and at the end of the class the parents can enter the dance area to see the start to finish of what the kids learned for the day.

The staff and volunteers are amazing with children. As a parent of a non-nuero typical child and being an adult who is differently abled, inclusive spaces are so important ,especially in the world of dance and performance arts. Seeing the joy in the dancers faces and the instructors pride shows they really do care about each student.

I usually do not take the time to write a bad review but I just had to warn other parents. I brought my daughter to try the ballet 2 class and the instructor was brash, unfriendly and didnt explain the movements very well. When she was going over her introduction she said, do not bug me after class, I have a class right after this...get your belongings and leave to meet with your parents. I WAS STUNNED!!!! She seemed aggravated throughout the entire class! As soon as my daughter walked out of the building, she turned to me and said, please dont make me go back! NO WAY WOULD I MAKE HER GO BACK!!!! I feel so bad for the little girls that stay in that class.🙁

My daughter, Abby, has been in their program for over a year. She started off as a shy 3 year old, and is now one of the friendliest, most out-going little girls. Ms. Sara and Ms. Amanda were able to teach confidence and helpfulness as well as dance steps. One month we got to bring the donation to the hunane society, and it inspired Abby to adopt her own kitty! She is now in preschool and an amazing listener, she is great at following directions, and i know its because of Dancing for Donations. Its affordable, it helps the community, and when my own family went through a medical crisis with our baby, they decided to hold a fundraising vendor market for us! My 5 yr old may not be special needs, but our 1 yr old now is medically fragile, and being introduced to other children with different medical equipment early in her life made it easier for her to accept when her little sister got a gtube and had surgery! Its been an amazing program and I cant wait until my littlest is old enough to sign up!
