HEAR IT FROM OUR FAMILY MEMBERS

TDO-251106-105.jpg
  • Both my children started here at a young age and have grown so much. Both are now in the competitive program- one in full time and one in part time and the amount of confidence and skill they have learned already is truly remarkable. What’s most important is that this school has a positive environment and it teaches confidence and true love of dance. My kids feel safe, happy and heard and that is really the best part of TDO. The teachers are warm, talented and fun. I would HIGHLY recommend TDO to anyone who wants a great dance experience.

    -Michelle Garber, Client

  • We have returned to TDO for our third season. We have been to other studios, and they simply do not compare by any metric. Coming back to TDO after the summer was literally a homecoming for my daughter. She lit up with absolute joy seeing AJ and Aly again. We enrol our children in extra curricular activities for the enriching opportunities to build their skills, but even more so to build their character. Learning to push themselves to new limits, learning how to win AND how to lose, learning the power of work ethic, teams and community. The directors of this school, Aly and AJ are nothing short of exceptional. They are extraordinary not only in their expertise and talent in the dance world, but arguably just as equally in how they incorporate developmental milestones in teaching kids. Built into the fabric of the school is an expectation that everyone upholds an atmosphere of respect, confidence, and camaraderie. When you come here, you’ll see that perhaps even more important than the evident racks and racks of medals, accolades, and trophies that the studio collects, is the feeling of love and family and support. Meet AJ one time. Meet Aly one time. You’ll fall in love and understand exactly what I’m talking about. Trust me, you’ll come home to TDO, too. All the fabulousness of dance, none of the drama and cattiness you’ll find at literally every other studio.

  • Amazing Studio. Family oriented. My kids absolutely loving their classes and looking forward to them every week.!
