Our daughter has been attending pre hip hop at American Institute of Dance in Magnolia since the studio opened in fall of 2016. When she begun she was the only child in her class... until the good word got out... by the end of the year the class was at compacity. The class was filled with a variety of personalities and a LOT of energy... Teacher Mary displayed an amazing level of patience, she provided plenty of exciting dance warm up activities and routines. Mary has a heart of gold and is very approachable. Our daughter always felt comfortable and noticibly grew in confidence in her time in the studio. We have also had positive interactions with Elizabeth... it is obvious she is the backbone to the whole operation and we personally appreciate her generosity and dedication the the staff and students at American Institute of Dance.

My daughter has taken Irish Step Dancing classes for the past three years. She loves the teachers, the studios, and most of all the non-competitive environment in which she is free to be herself. She has made wonderful friends that she looks forward to seeing each and every week. I love that the studio has a community focus, and that performances are centered around ArtWalks/outreach instead of a traditional "recitals." My family is always welcomed (even my rambunctious three-year old) and Elizabeth always has a kind word to stop and share. It really is a great space for children to grow.

Our daughter really enjoys her junior/teen intermediate ballet and jazz classes at ADI and she loves her teacher, Margaret. We really like that Elizabeth, the dance school director, is very flexible and accommodating when scheduling classes. I also really appreciate that ADI allows make up classes if our daughter has to miss one of her regularly scheduled classes for whatever reason. ADI has been a wonderful addition to Magnolia.

ADI has been a wonderful addition to Magnolia. We are so glad that our daughters can continue their dance instruction in this fun and supportive environment. The teachers in their teen advanced ballet and jazz classes have been top notch! It is nice to have an arts alternative to balance out their other activities and sports -- they are using different muscles, are exposed to different music, and they work hard.

We searched and finally found a dance studio in Magnolia for our 4 year old granddaughter. What a wonderful experience! She loved Margaret - the studio - and the first lesson. Looking forward to seeing our sweet girl learn more and more. We also talked to the director, Elizabeth, who shared their overall philosophies... so glad we found ADI!

Were so happy that the American Dance Institute opened their Magnolia location :). My daughter really enjoys her Monday ballet class and the instructors have been fab. The owner, Elisabeth, even arranged for one of her instructors to teach hip-hop to our Girl Scout brownie troop when they were working on their dance badge!

Such a great addition to the neighborhood! My daughter started tap classes this semester, and has loved it. We had to switch days of the week midway through due to a family schedule conflict, and they were completely flexible in working with us. Both her teachers this session - Alyssa and Maia - have been wonderful!

Love this studio! My daughter genuinely gets excited for her class every week. The teachers are challenging yet caring and fun at the same time. Doesnt hurt that the studio is bright and beautiful with a prefect side room to watch your little darlings.
