Testimonials

I was very impressed with the comments Kimberly made on her Dance Teacher Certification Exam. She demonstrated to me that she puts her students’ needs first, and wants to make sure that they have fun in class even while learning the benefits of dance technique and performing on the stage in front of an audience. Kimberly’s answers show me a great deal of insight into her philosophy of teaching young students, as she realizes and in fact stated that a teacher’s involvement in a child’s life is much bigger than most teachers realize. We, as teachers are privileged to be given this opportunity. I would highly recommend Kimberly as a caring, experienced and professional instructor who will be a positive influence on the lives of every student she has the pleasure to teach.

I danced at Above the Barre for eight years and can’t imagine my life without them. I received a truly amazing dance education, but also received never ending love and support even after my high school graduation. I went for the technique and incredible teachers, but I stayed for the family.
— Erin McKenzie Mercer, ATB Dancer
My daughter has been a part of the Above the Barre dance family for several years now. And that is what it is, a family! She has learned so much about hard work, dedication, self discipline and teamwork. She loves it here and has so many great role models in the older dancers who study here. We are blessed that we found my daughter a forever dance home!
