Testimonials

We love Hunter Dance! Wonderful and talented dance teachers and Pilates instructors.

Carrie Phillips

My 8 year old son Everett attended the summer theatre camps with Hunter Dance Center and he had such a great time! It was amazing to see how much he learned in only a week and so fun to see him acting out his own songs and dances with other kids. The teachers are incredible and really let the kids take responsibility for their performance. We are looking forward to fall classes!

Sara Eliason

My son did a summer day camp with them and had a fantastic time! He was unsure at first, nervous about the idea of performing in front of strangers, but he was so excited by the time their performance rolled around. Looking forward to more classes with this great group.

Angela Richard

I wanted to compliment you on such a wonderful aerial program! Your instructors are fantastic coaches and I love the progressions that the kids go through to learn aerial skills. Hunter is the 3rd aerial program we have tried and I’m so impressed and thankful for a place my daughter can safely learn.

Katy Fenton

Isabella loves aerial so much and I love seeing her so excited. She used to love performing, but developed stage fright several years ago. She wouldn’t do anything that required her to be in front of a crowd (theater, presenting a project, swim team). Thanks to aerial and the instruction Abby and Davis provide, she’s regained her confidence. I appreciate the work you do immensely and thank you for motivating Isabella to push herself.
