“IDA is an amazing dance school with fantastic teachers. Their choreography is unique, current and entertaining. All the kids are so happy and engaged as they perform because the teachers are so encouraging. I love the use of recycled costumes for the performances. I have seen many schools ans shows and IDA is legit as well as their teachers!”

“IDA is a wonderful dance studio for dancers of all ages. Jamie goes above and beyond for the IDA family. The teachers are fun, caring, and exceptionally talented. My son, my daughter, and I have all enjoyed our classes there!”

-Melissa Wanczyk

“IDA is an absolutely amazing studio! Over the past 15 years, each of my three children has had an incredible experience learning to dance at IDA. Their mission is teaching dance as an art rather than as a competition. This is infused in each and every teacher’s approach, regardless of the type of dance. Jamie, the owner, is an extremely competent and compassionate woman who is committed to making each student feel as equally challenged as they are supported. Throughout this pandemic, Jamie and her entire team have been committed to making IDA a safe environment for the students to continue to grow their skills. Offering classes online, outside, or in person, every family has had the ability to continue their child’s dance education in a way that they feel safe and secure. I highly recommend IDA to anyone looking for a fabulous dance program!”

“IDA is an excellent, supportive dance studio. My daughter loves being there – it has become her home away from home after school. The teachers are top-notch with instruction, creativity, and kindness. It is a warm atmosphere, and the teachers strive for the students to learn, grow, and have fun. There are many opportunities for each student to grow in the area they choose (solo performance, different styles of dance, choreography, etc) The recitals are always wonderful – they are a highlight of the year! This year (2020-2021, during Covid), IDA was especially amazing and handled everything with professionalism and care. The recital (and stage!) was beyond exceptional. A wonderful studio with wonderful people!!”

-Jenifer Thomas

“Quality dance instruction for sure. But what makes IDA so special is the balance of mentoring teachers, non-profit fundraising and volunteering opportunities and “professional” productions (without having to purchase $100 costumes for each class!!!) so that dancers feel connected to a community of like-minded people. HIGHLY recommend.”

-Julia Williams

“Both of my girls have been going to IDA for the past 10 years. We love IDA and highly recommend it. The girls have made strong friendships and I couldn’t say enough positive things about Jamie, the owner) as well as all the teachers. I am so thankful for IDA.”

-Susan Black

“My daughter has been dancing at IDA for about 5 years. She loves every minute she gets to spend at the studio. The teachers are talented, kind, and supportive. Jamie has created a wonderful environment where kids can be comfortable without feeling judged. We are so happy we found this very special place.”

-Virginia Nissen

“My daughter has attended IDA for the past 12 years. It is her second home. Jamie and the the entire staff create an environment where the kids can be themselves without judgement. The dance instruction is exceptional. All of the teachers are experts at their craft and provide a combination of excellent instruction with a nurturing environment. IDA gives tremendous opportunities to the students to give back to the community through dance. They raise money for charities and instill a sense of community service in their dancers. During the pandemic Jamie was able to keep IDA running so that the kids could have a sense of normalcy. She went above and beyond. Following all guidelines, creating outdoor studios, outdoor performance spaces and zoom classes. She worked day and night to make sure that the studio kept on going even in the toughest times. IDA is a truly special place and I highly recommend it for your dancer.”
