ATB and the teachers have been amazing for our daughter.  Not only are we grateful for the level of dance technique, style, and competition, but we couldn’t have dreamt of the life skills she has built through her experience at the studio.  The teachers hold the team to a high standard of work ethic, camaraderie, and respect.  They honor each student as an individual and the teachers are respected and loved by the team. The studio also fosters a tight family culture amongst the families involved and we are reminded that at the end of the day we are all trying to build kind and decent humans..... dance happens to be an incredible tool to make that happen.💕

Little did I know what an amazing experience would lie ahead for my young dancing daughter.  After a few years of recreational dance at Above The Barre Dance Academy it led us to spots on Mini Company and now Company.  The staff is amazing (Chelsie, Jennifer & Gena)!  Not only are these ladies my daughter’s dance teachers but they are her cheerleaders and advocates.  They see the potential in her and give her the power and tools so she can see it in herself.  Our studio family is like a second family to us.  ATB is where our ❤️ is.  
​Best studio hands down.
