We switched my girls over to Tonawanda Dance Arts three years ago, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Even when the studio had to close the speed with which the studio was able to adapt and offer virtual classes was amazing! The staff handles everything professionally and with compassion. We wouldn't trust our kids with anyone else!

My daughter and I LOVE TDA! We have always felt more than welcome walking in the door. Everyone has a smile on their face. The curriculum and costumes are age-appropriate. The staff and instructors are organized and great role models for our youth. Plus they are doing all they can to keep a safe & clean environment amidst COVID-19!!

This is our second year dancing at Tonawanda Dance Arts and it has been the best experience. My daughter craves time with kids her age and to be active. COVID-19 has not stopped her from being able to do this and do this safely. I would 100% recommend this dance studio over and over!
