For my child the creative movement class has been a wonderful experience! She is always
excited to go. The teacher is patient and knows how to bring dance right to her level.
It's great!
If you looking for the best ballet studio in Spokane this is the one. Its Great........
this is the best studio in spokane and i wish i started dancing here sooner.
I love dancing at the Academy of Dance. The instruction I receive are giving me the
tools I need to be able live my dreams and dance professionally. I love the focus on
technique, and the technique I have learned is amazing! The summer programs I have been
accepted to are proof for me that my instructors are the best! The students and staff
are like family.
The Studio is professional and caring. The choreography is wonderful and the atmosphere
is all about dance!
The high standards set by the staff and their commitment to excellence is the best in
the area. Caring and truly professional.
Academy of Dance has wonderful teachers that focus on ballet technique and proper
positioning while incorporating creativity and fun for all ages (Creative Movement Level
to Adults). Academy of Dance is the best studio I have seen in my 30+ years of dancing
(having danced in Idaho, Washington, and Georgia)
The Academy of Dance provides a unique opportunity for all age levels to be involved in
learning classical ballet.
Kristin is one of the most inspiring teachers I've ever had the pleasure of learning
from. Her knowledge and passion take her instruction to a level that so many studios
today fall short of. She not only gives her students a superb technical foundation,
Kristin challenges and teaches each dancer to be more than just a great technician...
she teaches them how and what it means to be an artist.
Best qualified teachers in Spokane, excellent atmosphere. No trashy dancing here, only
high quality!
I attend many dance recitals, and theirs have consistently been by far the best. Their
teachers are obviously of the best quality.
Experienced and caring teachers!
The Academy of Dance has an excellent staff of teachers who are able to teach the
students in a professional and kind manner that gets beautiful results. The staff
creates a warm environment that promotes a love of dance. Their training and experience
is excellent.
very best teacher. life long dedication to the art of ballet, done correctly for a life
long dance experience. healthy happy dancers!
Kristen Olsen Potts offers great training. Academy of dance is a wonderful place to
learn ballet technique, self confidence, and commitment.
According to my two daughters, teachers in Academy of Dance are great. Each of my
duaghters' class has teacher assistant. Teachers always constantly check students'
posture and position.
The annual performance is always awesome!
Kristen Potts is the best dance instructor I've found. She's extremely profressional,
and very encouraging. She makes practice fun by throwing in humor but still keeps the
structure of the class. I hope Academy of Dance is voted the very best...they deserve it!
Professional, highly skilled instruction asking dancer to do their best.
Kristen Potts is one of the best teachers I have ever studied with in my 20 years as a
professional dancer. I only wish she had been my teacher when I was first training.
Phaedra Jarrett
Best training in Spokane!
The training and atmosphere are both professional and nurturing.
This is an Amazing Studio with wonderful teachers that are caring and understanding.
Whether your child is a beginner or is an advanced student, this is the studio to take
Ballet or Jazz. My daughter just loves it here and is on her way to becoming a
professional dancer.
Top notch teachers with a mission to produce good dancers
and promote dance in the community!
The best classical ballet training in the Spokane Area. They have had students go on to
be professional dancers for Louisville Ballet, Ballet Idaho, Pittsburgh Ballet and other
dance companies through out the country.
Fabulous teachers that truly care about the students. They encourage their students to
do their best and challenge them to strive for the best.
Excellent masters teacher. very knowledgeable, thorough, kind instruction. Amazing
concert (not recital) at end of year!
Exellent teaching, loving staff, high standards.
Strength of dancers, uniqueness of choreography, excellence of performances.
They are very professional. They care about each individual student.
My daughter has been dancing there for 7 years and she is only 11. She always wants to
go and went on Pointe last year. Miss Kristen is the best!
Classical ballet classes that are age appropriate for young girls. I especially like the
fact that they dress in leotards and tights, hair in a bun, etc. and not like Vegas
Showgirl Wannabes. Classical music is also used, and not pop music wtih lyrics that are
inappropriate for children.
