As a dance teacher of over 36 years and a former dance studio owner, my family needed to find a dance studio similiar to mine after I closed my business. We needed a studio that was family-friendly, NOT involved in competitions, and focused on technique (with some fun mixed in at times). The studio culture, upon walking in the door at Bedford Dance Center, was welcoming, warm, and inviting. Even though we started mid-year, every dancer in that first class approached my son and daughter and introduced themselves, as did the faculty. The students, families, and faculty are very kind. The teachers are always prepared for class and genuinely want people to learn and grow. The director is organized and shares information frequently to keep families informed. She, also, brings a lot of humor to her classes and has great expectations for her dancers. As a dance teacher, my standards are high. I want a quality dance studio with a solid foundation, performance opportunities, and NO competitive vibe among the dancers. After having looked at many dance studios, we are lucky to have found Bedford Dance Center.
