Testimonials

“I love the way attending Grace Academy, under the kind direction of Ms. Heidi Knapp and Ms. Sarah Vanduyvenvoorde, has clearly encouraged and instilled poise, confidence, self esteem, positive body image, and healthy life decisions for my daughter. I thank them both with all my heart !"

“The care and attention given to each child has helped my daughter grow not only into a beautiful dancer, but a beautiful person as well. She will always look back at her time at Grace Academy with fond memories of happiness and friendship.”

“I found Grace Academy after trying two different dance schools for my daughter. One school was strict and competitive but the instruction was good, the other was fun but the instruction too relaxed. Grace Academy gives us the best of both worlds, giving solid instruction and emphasizing excellence in an atmosphere that exudes grace and allows learning and growth. Everyone I talk to at Grace Academy agrees that Miss Knapp sets the tone that allows the children to feel that Grace Academy is their home away from home, while instilling in them the motivation to learn and grow in their dance. My daughter has learned far more than dance at Grace Academy - Miss Knapp models the values of hard work, excellence, determination and kindness. There is no one better, nowhere better, for dance, than Grace Academy.”

“My eager 3 year old "ballerina" has become a beautiful, confident 8 1/2 year old "dancer" in so many ways. The dancing, teaching, friendships and goal setting have become a very important part of her life - and she has chosen it, which is even more important.”

“My daughter has been with Grace Academy for three years now during which time she has been able to develop her confidence and nurture her ability to achieve. Thanks to the dedicated and inspiring teachers! It is an environment infused with passion and positivity - what more could a parent ask for?”
