"Growing up, my time at Gotta Dance was the best part of my week-being with and making new friends while I learned to dance from caring, inspiring teachers was so much fun.
It wasn't until later that I understood that all that fun and inspiration was also a most valuable component in my dance training. Gotta Dance gave me the skills and confidence that I needed to thrive as a dancer and a person. On and off stage, I know that the Gotta Dance family has changed my life and will forever be my guardian angel. "

"I came to Gotta-Dance with high expectations for a studio after dancing and competing in California.
Gotta-Dance and it's teachers not only welcomed me with open arms but built off of my previous experiences and pushed me to become a more consistent and technical dancer. Not only did Gotta Dance surpass my expectations but it opened my eyes to a more artistic approach to dance. By encouraging dedication and persistence, I know that Gotta-Dance has been a vital contributor to my growth outside the studio. Gotta-Dance offers so many wonderful opportunities to challenge yourself that each year I was proud of my improvements. I have developed solid relationships with both my teachers and classmates and truly feel I am a part of the Gotta-Dance family."

"When I first moved to New Jersey and started dance classes at Gotta Dance I took two classes a week, tap and jazz.
But as I got older I began taking more and more classes, and spending more and more time at the studio. I loved the teachers, met other students that are still my best friends today, and learned how to dance which soon became my favorite hobby. Dance class became a way for me to relax when school was tough, not to mention I was given the amazing opportunity to join the Gotta Dance staff as a high school student part time. As I move forward in life I am able to take with me a great hobby, great friends, and great employment experience that I would never have recieved elsewhere. Gotta Dance has been and will forever be a key aspect of success in my life."Nicole L. Former student currently in College
"I love dance class. My dance teacher is so beautiful and nice. When I ask her something she listens to me.
She teaches us some amazing stuff. She taught us that if our shoe comes off in the middle of the dance just keep on dancing. If we forget the dance at the concert she is on the side oof the curtain doing it with us. Her name is Ms. Caroline. When she is absent I miss her o much. When we do a straddle sit she can stretch so far out. She can jump so nice. My friend Victoria loves her too. We have an assistant but she can't jump as high or stretch as far. I love Ms. Caroline and when I grow up I want to be a dance teacher just like her."Note to Ms. Caroline from 8 yr old Leanne.
"Thank you for teaching our daughters how wonderful ballet and tap can be.
We could hear laughter nd singing and dancing through the door. At the same time appreciating all of the hard work and dedication. You are gifted with young children and always make it fun!"Note to Ms. Mirta from the Tuesday 11:15 class
"Thank you for a terrific year of tap and ballet.
Victoria really loved your class and is excited about being a dancer. We hope she will continue to love dance for a long time."Note to Ms. Mirta from Victoria and family
