Testimonials

This is our first year with Melody Lane Dance Music and Drama Academy, it has been stunning to say the least. My daughter has already made great strides not only with her dance moves 🤗 🏼 but also her confidence within herself shines inside and out! She has new friends there and the staff has always been friendly and welcoming. Thanks Melody Lane Performing Arts Academy for your kindness and care with our child.

Melody Lane has become our home away from home! My daughter loves the jazz/tap and musical theatre classes. She has grown so much in so many ways over the last year. The teachers and staff are so supportive. I didn't know if I would fit the mold of a "dance mom," but the community is truly for everyone!
