Productions Reviews

My daughter had an amazing time at camp. She was very hesitant to try a new camp but Katlin and the staff there were just wonderful and put her at ease. She even participated in the final dance performance, something she has never done before!

Anu Vijay
Parent

We loved this dance camp. Both my boys attended the dance camp in Ballard and then again in Lake City. Worth the drive from magnolia. My kids still dress up in the props they made in class and have a zest for dance. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Katie Ahrens
Parent

Katlin's creativity and dedication to dance education elevated our production quality and the student's technique while she was on faculty here. Wherever Katlin ends up teaching, the community will be better for it.
