I'm not a mom who is looking to get her kid into hard-core, serious, competitive dance (although they have the trophies to back that up, if that is what you're looking for). I'm just a mom who wanted a social environment for her toddler who loves music, and loves dancing around the house. We did the little 6-week summer classes, and we loved it. We do not have a lot of disposable income. At all. So anything I sign my kid up for, I have to really consider. There's a lot of things we can't afford, but re-enrolling for fall classes wasn't even a question. It may sound silly to say after just 6 classes, but this place already feels like home. Warm and inviting doesn't even begin to cover it. My daughter loves it. I love it. I had no idea I'd have such strong feelings about a dance company after 6 weeks, but here we are.

We love Jody Phillips Dance Company. I have a young daughter who has been taken classes there for a…read morecouple years. I grew up dancing, all the way through college, and think Jody's is a top notch studio. Parents do get to check in on their young kids in class through a window. As most parents know sometimes the distraction of parents can make it difficult to control a class, so this is a great solution. You can peak in on your child without them really seeing you. And should my daughter ever have a real problem in class I know the staff will come get me. I have attended several watch days for my daughters class as well. As far as not being allowed to take pictures or video it's for the students safety I believe and appreciate that other people cannot take pictures or video of my daughter and post them online without my permission or knowledge. It's all about privacy and how to protect children. Obviously Jody's goes way beyond little kid class they have well rounded programs for all ages and levels. This includes a highly decorated competition team.

By far, the best studio you will find in the area. Full of well-rounded dancers and people. I love that they not only focus on growing the dancer, but also the induvidual in each dancer at the studio. Years later, I still come back and keep in touch with the dancers and staff at JPDC. For sure something you and all of your friends should tryout.
