So proud to know and work with you two talented and professional work ethic Super Sisters... :-)

The judges and owner of the [Showstopper] State Competition were staying here, as well as many of the competitors. They were all so beautiful looking. Me and some co-workers got so interested and were able to go by Sunday to catch [some of] the dances. We were so taken back. It was so beautiful. We smiled so big and we were ABSOLUTELY happy we came. Going through the results I’m seeing a lot of your dancers won, and I must say congrats. We loved all the dancers from your team... We would like to be kept up with when and if you guys have performances or shows. We would love to come and see you again!

I just wanted to tell you how much my girls love dance again! Last year I had to make [my youngest daughter] go to dance in tears because she was ready to quit, and hated it at [another studio]. Then, we found Dancers Edge. My girls are the happiest they have ever been anywhere they have danced, and I am just amazed at how nice everyone is, how well things are organized, and how well our dancers do…without being put under a lot of pressure. Even picture day was stress free! Keep up the good work!

The Dancers Edge family is definitely what we would like to be a part this upcoming season [2008-2009]. [My friend] has had nothing but great things to say about the experience she, [and her daughters] have all encountered. I can't wait to become a part of it and [my daughter] is chomping at the bit! Again, Thank you for offering what you do to these kids - That's what it's all about!!!!!!

I am very proud to be part of an organization that takes such pride not only in our children and their accomplishments, but also in the knowledge that they achieve what they do with integrity and grace. Our kids are some of the most sportsmanlike kids at all of the competitions that we go to. They will cheer and congratulate good dances and they are unconcerned with what studio they are from. They acknowledge hard work and dedication no matter the source. They encourage each other and friendships are forged that will last long after dance is done. Thanks again for everything.

We are soooo glad that we have switched to Dancers Edge and love it so much!!! [We] love everyone there. Your studio has such a family environment and it is so wonderful to be a part of such a loving group.

I am so proud of all of the dancers!  The both of you, the choreographers, the teachers and staff all deserve a huge round of applause! Thank you for putting in the time with these girls. This [has been] a real confidence boost for the teams and for the girls individually.  Thank you for helping to achieve that for [them]!

I am so proud of and excited for every one of our dancers at both studios! I think that we have surpassed all expectations and have many more wonderful things to come our way!!! I am continually surprised and delightfully stunned by how awesome, amazing, beautiful, amusing, gravity-defying, captivating, rhythm-busting, graceful, story-telling, chill-bump-spreading our choreography (and music) is!!! It is a tribute to each dancer, each choreographer, each teacher/instructor, each parent/grandparent that gives their all!!!? Dancers Edge is on the Edge of the dance world.... We are climbing to the TOP!!!

[My child took dance over the Summer at High Point University, and began again this past week.] After class this past Wednesday, [the instructor] came up to me and said "what has [your child] been doing? He is turning into quite a little tapper!" In addition, I was speaking this past week with a gal that teaches dance at WSSU. She couldn't say enough positive comments about Kentrell. All I know is as we move about the triad only positive things are being said about Dancers Edge. That makes us proud. And having grown up professionally...."measurable outcomes" are very important to me. When a university professor says she sees marked improvement in [my child’s] performance in only five weeks of instruction....I'm impressed. Bravo!

We are all very proud of ours dancers and can see how much they have grown… what a group to be proud of! When you listen to people [around you] … and [complete strangers] approach you to say they have never seen anything like it … and [people] just sit there with their mouths open … and [the dancing] brings tears to even adult men … that says it all!! It doesn't get much better!

You [both] are such an inspiration and wonderful role models!! We are looking forward to a fun, challenging and exciting year!

Congratulations on a super competition! I'm personally proud of what Dancers Edge did and particularly how [my child] has developed and become a part of the dance team. You and the rest of the dance instructors ought to be applauded for all you've done this past year. Again, congratulations.

This year has been a very positive and enjoyable experience for [my daughters]. We are very proud of them and what they have learned from being at your studio.

I just wanted to tell you Congratulations on a wonderfully successful Competition Season. Dancers Edge has done so well and we are so proud of everyone.

We love you guys and feel so fortunate to be involved in a studio that has a genuine care and concern for all of its members. Thank you for making us feel valued. It is so comforting to know that my children are in an environment where they are loved and supported, not just by the staff and instructors but by other parents, also. We love the family atmosphere and can't imagine ever being anywhere else.

Thanks for all that you have done!

I am SO proud of all of our dancers! I hope that you all know how grateful we are for doing such a superb and caring job for our kids!! Dancers Edge is AWESOME and AMAZING and we have only just begun! It is so wonderful to watch the dancers perform and see how much fun they are having, and how happy they are when they are all together! It's also fun to watch the parents having fun...taking it all in! This is what life is about...enjoying our families and friends, having fun, hard work, good music, and great dancing! We are so honored and proud to be a part of Dancers Edge...to be a part of the family. Thanks to all of you.

Blessings,
CO

 

 

[Our daughter] loves her new dance classes and dance studio. She thinks Miss Cathy-Lee is awesome! Thanks again for making her feel so welcome! Cathy-Lee and all of your staff and parents have been so very nice to her and our family! Thanks again!

The Show was fabulous - you guys did a wonderful job and I am proud to be associated with Dancers Edge. It has touched my heart in ways that you will never be able to imagine and I will treasure these memories forever. Y’all are special to me, and such a huge part of my daughter’s lives. I want each of you to know and understand that you never need to question your accomplishments on earth or wonder what you put here for...you put joy and happiness into the lives of children and you help to shape young people into young adults. You have helped to bring my children and my grandchild out of their shells and I have watched them open up and blossom under the tutelage of the instructors at the studio. I can't imagine a more positive environment for my children to be in and I want each of you to understand that you reach down and communicate with these kids and teach them lessons in ways that they don't even realize that they are learning. I thank you for that as well. I think that you guys are an important part of who my girls are becoming and like who they are. I know that thank you is an insignificant expression of gratitude in relation to all that you have done for my family, but please know it is given openly, freely and from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks for being an excellent role model for my daughter. She thinks the sun rises and sets in Miss Cathy-Lee. It makes me so proud to see my daughter happy and developing socially. The recital was amazing. “Butterfly Kisses” made my very macho husband cry. He hopes one day he will have a chance to do something like that with our daughter. I have only seen him cry at the children's births, so that was amazing. Thank you so very much. I look forward to our family's future with Dancers Edge.

WAY TO GO!!!  What an outstanding job you guys did this weekend.  Not only am I proud of my girls but am proud to say that they are part of such an awesome team and have such good friends to dance with! Keep up the good work.

I just wanted to tell you how much it meant to me when you presented my granddaughter with a special award. I have never been so proud of her. Making the decision for her to be a part of Dancers Edge has been a very rewarding experience. She loves to dance and she loves being a part of the Dancers Edge Family. And I feel the same way!

Thanks again,

ND

 

 

When my daughter and I first came to Dancers Edge from another studio, we had become all but disenchanted with the idea of dancing competitively. We were not quite sure what to expect from the studio that was owned by “the cheerleader”. What we have found is an environment where children can thrive. This is a place where children learn how to be confident, courageous and part of a team.

The teachers and staff have an amazing talent for bringing out the best that each child has to offer. They nurture what they see and in the end are left with young ladies and young men who are not only great performers, but who have also learned the true meaning of being part of something bigger than themselves.

I really feel as though I play a part in creating the person that I see my daughter becoming, because we were fortunate enough to walk into Dancers Edge. All of you are part of our extended family and we can’t imagine going anywhere else to dance.

Thank you for all that you have done - continue to do - for all of my daughters! Their lives will be better because of what they learn from you guys.

Dancer's Edge has been a true blessing to my girls and me this year. My 15 year old daughter has danced for eight years and my youngest has danced for six years. We had a bad experience at our old dance studio, and their self-esteem was getting low. Then we met Cathy-Lee, one-on-one. The girls loved her from that moment on. We were instantly made to feel like family. I had never had an instructor say "call me anytime." I had never had anyone to tell me "call me if you need anything at all”. The girls and I have always felt welcome and now they love to dance again. The girls love you being a part of their lives.

With True Appreciation and Thanks,

TF

 

 

Dancers Edge has provided a super-friendly atmosphere for my daughter. We have been with the studio for only a year, but what a difference a year makes! Our family has been involved with other dance studios in Michigan and North Carolina over the past fifteen years, and Dancers Edge is the most welcoming, up-to-date, talent-laden studio by far! The teachers are skilled and friendly – giving students a creative and challenging dance structure! There is zero pressure for the students and parents involved, the studio does not have a “win at all costs” attitude, and no bad attitudes are allowed! I am proud that my daughter is a student at Dancers Edge! She will grow and learn, while becoming a better dancer and well-rounded person thanks to the studio. A fun atmosphere is very important to me, and the Dancers Edge family has made us feel very involved and welcome!

Thank you!

I just want to tell you how very indebted my entire family is to both of you. I watched my oldest daughter, and was so happy. She is so relaxed and has so much fun. Even when she messes up now, she comes off stage laughing. What a change! And, my youngest daughter absolutely loves to dance and is continually dancing around the house. I want to thank you for instilling the love of dance in my children, but most of all for taking such good care of them. You have helped them to develop self-esteem and confidence (though I don't think the youngest one needed any help with that) but most importantly you make them feel special, as you do with everyone of the students a Dancers Edge.

Thank you for everything!

I wanted to tell you that the recital was awesome as far as planning. In all of the years of dancing with various studios, we have never had any recital run as smoothly!
