The only dance studio in Yuma, AZ that actually cares for the kids' wellbeing -mental and physical. We've been to a ballet school in Yuma and that place should be shut down for child abuse, no exageration. That's why half the most serious kids quit at the end of the season last year. Dawn's Dance studio has been the best option for an introverted teen who just wants to dance. We were not part of Joy first year, but only being in the studio for 1 year, my daughter was accepted to one of the most prestigious summer dance programs in the country (and internationally). Yet, the ballet studio in Yuma put her to the back all the time, belittled her skills, and told her she'll never be a dancer.
On the contrary, the supportive encouragement of the Dawn's studio owners, the teachers, and the kids, have been refreshing in the dance setting. The kids that do TA for classes, are indeed very VERY good and deserve to practice their craft and give back to the community through teaching. Basically at Dawn's dance studio, if you're not that great at dance, you're not taking it that seriously because in the studio, opportunities are given to you to be the best dancer you can be to get to the next level.
We've been to many dance places from PNB in Seattle to top dance schools in San Diego in the past 13 years of my kid's dance training. Being in Yuma, you can't get better dance studio than Dawn's. If you don't like it, then you better move to another city with more options because Yuma is...Yuma. read more
