Gillian

“Dance Ascension became our dance home several years ago. After searching locally for a new studio for a while we decided the one hour commute was worth the level of instruction provided at the studio. My daughters have flourished since beginning classes with Ashley and her wonderful staff! I have watched them learn and grow into beautiful, technically-sound dancers who always crave new skills."

"Whether you are simply looking for a wonderful and diverse dance home for recreation, or interested in a pre-professional track, there are so many options for your dancer at Dance Ascension."
