PARENT REVIEWS:

5 Star Rating on MerchantCircle.com:

"As a former ballet student in my youth, I was eager for my daughter to find a good, solid, classically trained ballet program that was fun and close to home for my "tween" aged daughter. We have taken dance classes around the area, but Ms. Partridge has a level of training, teaching skills and produces a high quality lesson. We are very happy with the instruction and the cost is extremely reasonable, along with the variety of classes offered. I can highly recommend this program."

Recommendation from LinkedIn.com:

“I have been very impressed with Terah Partridge's attention to detail in the management of The Camano Dance Academy. This reaches to all aspects of our association with her, be it in the educational side of dance or the financial management of her company. Terah is not only a beautiful and accomplished dancer in her own right, she has the training and skill to teach correct principles of dance to all ages. She is much beloved by her students for her compassion and utmost concern for their safety and development, and deeply appreciated by parents for her excellent time management(always starts and ends on time, prepared for her classes, etc) and that we are able to access such a talented dance mistress for an affordable price. I can whole-heartedly endorse Terah, with no reservations or exceptions."

Letter from Parent:

"I wanted to say thanks for all the patient and kind instruction you've given to the girls. They've improved immensely over the past year-and-a-half and have enjoyed their weekly lessons. You are a wonderful, gifted dancer as well as teacher, and I'm so glad my girls had this opprotunity to receive lessons from you... Loved the recital! Great job!!!"

Letter from Parent:

"Thank you so much for supporting our group! I hope your participation helps get the word out about your wonderful dance school. I know that I am very vocal about recommending it. We went to another local school last year & the difference between CDA and them are day & night. I am so grateful we found you this year!"
