I have been dancing here for 8 years and it has been the best 8+ years of my life. The staff is so friendly and understanding. They all work hard to make each kid a better dancer. The students have become my second family and each one of them work so hard to make the dances as best as they can be. The owner Jessy Gill is constantly hard at working making sure we have the best environment to dance in and is constantly working on making sure our new studio would be safe and ready for us so we have a place to dance in! Would recommend to anyone!

Broadway Dance Theatre may be a small company, but what they lack in size they more than make up for in character and love. They offer more than just dance classes. Their productions are AMAZING and the kids are so talented. We love it here.

I have been dancing with this company for so many years and it has been the best time of my life. I wouldnt want to dance anywhere else. The owner, Jessy Gill is a very compassionate and caring person and would do anything to help her students. The other teachers are all very understanding as well. I have made many life-long friends here that I have known for 7+ years. I highly recommend coming to this studio.

This is an amazing studio where you can learn so much and really dive into your passion and talents. 10/10 would recommend coming here. Jessy Gill has helped me become the person I am today. I dont know where I would be without her. She helped me learn so much about dance, theatre, singing, and also about friendship and compassion. She truly is remarkable.

I havent been going here for too long but its honestly been some of my favorite years ever since I started going here. I made tons of friends and everyone feels like family to me. Even if Im new to dancing, Im excited for every class I go to, ready to see my friends, but Im more excited to learn here. I love this place

I danced, took voice lessons, and did shows for 8 years here. I spent my entire middle and high school carrier here and at no point would I have anything negative to say. I’ve never been a part of something with a more dedicated group of people for the art. I’ve made life time friends and built bonds that cannot be replaced, gone on exciting trips to the city, taken so many workshops with Broadway stars and even danced in Disney parades. The opportunities they provide are like no other. If you are thinking about bringing you’re child here to discover a love of the arts this is the place to go! Not only do they teach you skills in the arts they also help build bonds through fun and unique ways, but they also teach you how to be a better person and give you skills to build character in the most positive way. The only way to truly know what I am talking about is to find out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

This is my 10th year dancing and acting at Broadway Dance Theatre and I cannot express how much I have enjoyed my time here so far. The teachers here become family, and you can trust that any one of them will be there for you if you need them. My relationship with Jessy Gill, owner of the studio, has blossomed into a mother-daughter relationship, and she means so much more to me than just a teacher. These teachers raised me, and have affected me so much and helped me realize one of my greatest passions. They support you and help you with anything you need, dance related or not. This is a wonderful place to bring your children and I am happy to say that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without this amazing, positive environment. I came here when I was five years old, and went from a little girl who idolized these adults that I saw five days a week, to a student teacher, teaching alongside the same amazing adults in which I still look up to. So thank you Broadway Dance Theatre, for raising me and being my second home.

This is my third year dancing here and my fifth year doing shows here. Broadway Dance Theatre has a positive atmosphere and has helped me learn so much throughout the years. All of the teachers are so kind, supportive, and encouraging and the students are some of the best, most talented people I have ever met. This is definitely a great place to be.

I have been doing theater and dance there for 6 years now and I love it! The teachers there are extremely nice and they are very friendly and respectful to everyone. The students there are also so friendly and they are very nice to each other. If you’re looking for a studio that will test your child abilities and make them better dancers, this is the place to be!!

Ive been associated with this studio and owner for years. Jessy is an amazing choreographer and is always professional, patient, and kind. Its easy to see why she has so many loyal dancers that stay with her company for years and go on to win countless medals and awards. Highly recommend BDT!

This is my sons 3rd year attending BDT and he loves the class and his teachers. I have personally witnessed the owner, Jessy, go above and beyond to provide a positive dance experience while always being flexible, accommodating and understanding. I would recommend this studio without reservation.

This is my 7th year dancing at this studio, and I couldnt be happier! The friends Ive made here have become family, and the same thing goes with the teachers! They all put so much work into each dance, to make sure it caters to all dancers. The studio owner, Jessy Gill, amazes me every day. I dont know anyone who could spend hours upon end at dance competitions from morning to night for a whole weekend! She treats all her students as her own children, and doesnt get nearly as much credit that she deserves. The same thing goes for all the teachers, who are so passionate about their work.

Although I’ve never been in the dance company at BDT, I’ve had amazing experiences in the Theatre Program that I will take with me for the rest of my life. Knowing Jessy for 6 years I can confidentially say that she is kind, talented, and a fantastic teacher who always pushes us to do our best. The other dance teachers are incredibly talented and hard working as well. I’ve learned so much and made so many friendships that I hope will last a lifetime. I truly love this studio so so much and I highly recommend it!

All these kids can write whatever they want positive or negative the fact of the matter is I know the truth and if you need proof I have it. My 84 year old mother was crying saying it was her fault because I woukdnt let kids dance during the high point of this pandemic. Im sorry to say this but parents as well as the kids who are commenting have talked about how badly the studio is and the competitions are like the circus rolling into town thats why in a way Im free of their drama. Even teachers and the owner talked badly about students, my daughter is not the only one. Its sad because dancing should be fun not full of drama. If you are happy there continue this has zero to do with you and lets be honest people and you know who you are.

I have been dancing at Broadway Dance Theater for 10 years. BDT has such a positive atmosphere and a great support system. All of the teachers are respectful and so understanding. The staff here is absolutely amazing and is always there for you no matter what. They are there for you whether it has to do with dance or your personal life. Each dance teacher pushes you to your best ability to makes sure you are improving each and every week. I have known the owner, Jessy Gill, for 14 years. She is like a second mother to me and has been there for me from the very start. She loves each and every child as if they were her own and would do anything for them! Jessy goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and we have a great environment for us all to share our passion for dance. At BDT they don’t only teach you how to dance, but how to work as a team and connect as a family. I have not only made friends here at BDT, I have a second family and memories I will cherish for a life time. I couldn’t be happier to be a part of this remarkable family. I love this dance studio and I know you will too! I 100% recommended this studio to everyone.

Acted at this studio for 5+ years and have not one nice thing to say about this dance company. due to the lack of teaching and good choreography you will not learn a thing here! i would 100% recommend any other dance studio before i told someone about this one.....the teachers are rude and bash children to the other students! the building was always dirty and if u are trying to further your dance career to grow as a better dancer definitely do not go to BDT! this studio truly is an embarrassment....the competition teams are constantly in the easiest divisions but yet some how never win ! i have seen the way the teachers are with the students and it’s actually quite disturbing! the teachers are very cruel and treat the children like animals and it’s not even like the students are getting a good dancing education from it..... trust me when i say this is not the place to be !! i would give this studio 0 stars if i could because there honestly isn’t enough negative things i could day about the studio as a whole! DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!!

I’ve been dancing at BDT for so many years now and i would not be where i am without them. Between the friends i’ve made and amazing teachers i’ve met it has been such an amazing experience. I honestly don’t know what i would do if i couldn’t come here every week. I highly recommend sending your kids here.

Even though I’ve never been part of BDT’s Competition Team, i’ve been doing theater here for the past 4 years and this place has become a second home to all who go here. I don’t know why people feel the need to leave fake negative reviews for such an amazing place. If you’re considering letting your child go here for dance classes or theatre classes I can promise you every single student currently with Jessy Gill and all the other amazing teachers here at BDT can assure you that it’s the right choice to have your child join the BDT family.

I started dancing at BDT a couple years an I have never been happier. All of the teachers are so kind and sweet. They have always look out for me and had me and my families back when we were going through tough times. This studio is like my second home. Everyday I enjoy coming to dance to see all of my friends but most importantly all of the teachers who have basically raised me and so many other kids. The teachers and students here are my role models. They have provided a safe and fun enviroment for everyone. Me and so many other kids have learned so much, not just about dance but about how to work together and what it means to be family. I am a proud BDT dancer :)
