Unlike many dance studios, it's a place that fosters CONFIDENCE, DEDICATION, and PASSION-- which are amazing, lifelong qualities to instill in kids and especially teens. Kirstie, the director, is such a joy to be around and has created a truly unique and special place. Note only Kirstie, but all of the teachers too are committed to the students and create a very positive learning environment. Finally, the students are wonderful providing positive support to one another and put in a great deal of hard work. As I said before, the studio is truly a gem. Send your children or take class yourself as NCDI. It's a great find -- helped me remember why I love dancing again.

We've been dancing at Main Street Dance for almost one year. Since my girls have lived and danced…read morein Raleigh, NC, Hampton, VA, and Stuttgart, Germany, this studio offers us a refreshing change with more personal attention. This is the smallest dance studio we have danced with, but its size is perfect, and the owner (Wendy Naylor) is very hands on with all aspects of the studio and very personable with girls and parents, which translates into more personal attention. This is particularly important when you begin to reach the 'tweens age (between 8-13), when girls become even more self-conscious and their self-esteem tends to plummet. There is the opportunity to be in an active company for the more advanced girls and dance camps offered in the summer for those who wish to give dance or the studio a try. One thing we liked is the Christmas recital held at Campbell University in December. It was a mini-show which lasted only about an hour, but gave the girls great experience mid-year performing onstage and in front of a live audience, something particularly helpful for young dancers. We were able to purchase a very good video of the Christmas recital produced in mass locally by a group of the parents for $5 each--sooo much easier than trying to video the recital ourselves too! Main Street offers dance leotards, tights and shoes, as well as snacks & water bottles, all on site for purchase at very reasonable prices, which is very convenient. And this year, our monthly tuition included the costs of our costumes for two dance recitals -- a Christmas recital and the Spring recital. This is VERY helpful to parents to spread the cost out over the year instead of having to make a down payment in the fall and a final costume payment in January, right after Christmas expenses, as we always have had to do at our other dance studios. There are two studio classrooms at Main Street Dance. The only downfall we've found with Main Street is that the facility is somewhat small, particularly one of the classrooms. It can be frustrating for the girls when there are a lot of girls in a class. Oh, one thing that is also very convenient. Wendy and Main Street have been around a while and are known by many of the other area dancers. Recently, when we had to purchase a pair of jazz shoes for my oldest daughter, we realized she didn't have her tights for dance photos. The owner of Releve, a dance shop in Holly Springs, picked up the phone, called Wendy, and had everything worked out for us in less than 3 minutes! This "network" of support for supplies is particularly helpful and convenient--and better than anything we ever had in the larger cities we danced in! We highly recommend Main Street! If you stop by for more information, tell them Alice H. sent you!
