Im so thankful we found this studio for my daughter! My 4 year old has some sensory issues and her time in dance has really helped her overcome some fears and challenges. The teachers truly love the students and are wonderful role models. Not only is this an amazing, positive environment for kids, but they produce some amazingly talented dancers!

We just finished our second year at Turn Out Dance Academy. My daughter has definitely found her second home and loves everything about it! She enjoys practice as much as the competitions. Her instructors are wonderful and the studio fosters a very caring environment!

We moved here from NKY a year ago and needed a new studio for my then 7 year old. This studio, which also happened to be in Waynesville where we now live, was recommended to us by a neighbor. I am so glad we decided to choose this studio as our dance home.
