Over the years we have had all of our kids in one or more classes at Dayley and it has been amazing. To watch our children grow in technique, confidence, and poise has been the best part. They not only build dancers, they build great people!
I have two kids who have taken dance classes at Dayley for five years and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience. Its the perfect blend of learning dance technique and working hard with having fun. Both kids are always red faced and sweaty after class with big grins on their faces. Their shows are always genuinely entertaining and they are really on point with their level of professionalism and attention to detail.
My daughter has danced with Dayley Dance Academy for the last 7 years, since she was 3, and we have loved our time there. The instructors are amazing and all the staff are so great to work with. They do a fabulous job teaching quality technique and choreography, as well as providing a happy, uplifting atmosphere for these kids to have fun, make friends, and learn how to work hard to develop their skills. They also provide fun, and professional performing opportunities that we look forward to each year.
A couple of my kids have taken dance classes from them over the past few years. They are super professional and great to work with and the kids have loved it.
When we moved back to the Pacific Northwest a couple of years ago we were concerned about finding a studio on par with the one we were at in Colorado. Dayley has exceeded our hopes and expectations and has been wonderful to work with. We have one graduating out, one that still has another year and we have littles who are just now up and coming and I cant imagine going to another studio in the area. The staff is amazing. So kind, so helpful, and the teachers really challenge the students while simultaneously encouraging them.
We have been a part of the Dayley Dance Family for over 5 years. Their care for their students and families is unparalleled. My daughter has loved every minute she has been with this studio. She has made fantastic friends and grown as a dancer and a person during her time here. We will be a part of the Dayley Dance Family for many years to come & highly recommend that you become a part of this amazing community too!
My daughter has been with DayleyDanceAcademyNW for many years and we have seen the skill level, love of dance, and confidence she has gained through instruction and teachers. She considers everyone there as good friends. We continue to enjoy growth in the studio all around!
When you enroll at DDANW, you become part of a family. Children are fostered through dance and technique, but they learn life skills here and they are loved. The staff is professional, varied, committed and honestly works toward the benefit of every single child who walks through the door. From the classroom to Jessi’ welcoming the kids by name as they walk through the door, everything is focus on the kids positive self-talk and confidnce. Technique is carefully crafted and every performance shows a studio working hard for their clients in pursuit of art and the self-worth of the child. This is a unique, loving place, and I would recommend it fully to anyone looking for a dance studio.
My kids have been dancing here FOREVER! LOVE LOVE LOVE the no drama, fun moms, Jessi is the busiest, kindest, most hard working desk manager I’ve ever even heard of. And Sarah is wonderful with the kids.
They turned my daughter into a dancer in less than a year. She isnt a natural dancer and I put them to the test. They exceeded my expectations. She is a beautiful dancer after a handful of months and the best part is that shes so happy and loves to dance.I cant believe it!
The best things about this studio are the high level of instruction and the creativity that’s fostered. There are also a lot of boys which is rare. I would recommend Dayley Dance Academy to all ages and skill levels
Sarah and the team at Dayley Dance Academy NW are absolutely awesome! Instructors are positive, professional, and encouraging- and we love knowing that our daughter’s life is enriched by being a part of this amazing community. This is the studio your child will thrive at! Thanks DDANW!
Weve been a part of the studio for 6+ years. The instructors are dedicated to their art and students! The opportunity to get a real pre-professional experience is incredible. There is so much value in being a part of this community. The leadership and instructors are every thing you want for your child and it showed through COVID restrictions where they kept their dancers engaged and found unconventional ways to perform. Capturing hearts and young minds, this studio continues to be a place you want to be!
I have been teaching here for two years and even through all of the challenges of Covid and virtual teaching and instruction, the owners have gone above and beyond to ensure the safety of the staff, the teachers and the students. I always feel so safe coming to work and I know that the owners have everyone’s best interest at the front of their minds all the time. The teachers are top notch and the business as a whole focuses on empowering the leaders of tomorrow to become strong, well rounded individuals with a passion for dance!
Dayley has helped me improve so much in my dancing and my confidence! It also has a very loving community and I couldnt ask for a better dance family!!
Amazingly dedicated, kind, happy people who give their lives to inspire and teach their students and enrich the lives of the youth in the community. HIGHLY recommend!!!
After dancing here a number of years ago, I can without a doubt give three thumbs down.
Best years of my life! A big loving family of students and instructors.
Super Great instructors & staff! This studio is very family friendly in the dances they teach and costuming they wear, I appreciate that as a father. The year end showcase was very professional & entertaining. I highly recommend the Dayley Dance Academy!
Be careful what you commit to. They will hold you to it! Any missed classes can be made up; however, it may be a completely different dance class (hip hop vs. Ballet) if yours is too full to accommodate a make up session; this was our case. We were unable to attend for an entire month due to snow days (dance class closures, they close for school holidays too) but we still had to pay monthly dues or make up the class in hip hop... NOT what I wanted our daughter to learn since she was attending for ballet. In the end, we ended up canceling. Their customer service was terrible and they refused to refund $275 owed.
Super cute studio but this is borderline fraud at this point. We were all charged a big recital fee which included the costumes and video of the recital. We were told numerous times to absolutely not record the recital as this was being professionally recorded and we would get a copy of the recital. That was 6 months ago and numerous calls/emails later. There’s no reason we should have to wait 6 months for a copy of the recital video especially considering this was paid for in advance and we were banned from photography. I give up on trying to get my copy of my 3-year-old’s first ballet recital.
Our daughter loves dance and she cant wait to go back after summer. They also have amazing customer service.
My child has been dancing here for the past 2.5 years. I love the staff and faculty at the studio and appreciate the technical skills and personal growth my child has gained as a member of the studio.
So far my daughter really likes it here! She hasnt been here long, but she loves her teacher and ballet class!
