Testimonials

"We are incredibly grateful to DDC for providing our daughters with a positive learning environment that focuses on quality technique, artistic choreography, and an opportunity to express their talents. Not only do our girls get a platform for growth and confidence as individuals, but they get to be a part of a cohesive group with a common goal.  The positive energy and passion for dance the teachers provide week after week is evident in our girls and we love seeing them in their happy place with this supportive dance fam!  Thank you to all the talented teachers for loving on our kids and pushing them to be their best!"

"Phenomenal dance studio! Love that all the instructors have an extensive background in dance and choreography. Their love and knowledge of all things dance is evident not only in their recitals but in the week to week classes and teaching of their students. A million thanks to the entire Dawn’s Dance Connection team at the Jackson studio!"

"Being part of Dawn’s Dance Connection has been an incredible experience for our family. The studio empowers dancers and tumblers by teaching them not only impeccable technique but also the values of persistence and self-confidence. The loving atmosphere, combined with expert guidance and challenging classes, has helped our children grow both as dancers and as individuals. We couldn't be happier with the positive impact Dawn’s Dance Connection has had on our lives!"

"Dawn’s Dance Connection Jackson has been such a blessing to our family! In terms of trained teachers, teaching dance technique, and fun, DDC Jackson is second to none! My girls love to go to class and love recital week to share what they have learned. I love that they grow, are challenged weekly, and cared for by the teachers and the whole DDC family. It truly is a studio that provides so much more than just dance. My daughters continue to grow in leadership skills, blossom with self-confidence, and are determined to improve after every class. I can’t get either of my girls to stop dancing. A passion that is fueled and encouraged by DDC! Thank you for doing what you do and doing it to a very high standard. We are so grateful and blessed to be a part of the Dawn’s Dance Connection family!" 

"DDC is truly my daughter's happy place! She walks through the front door of the studio and immediately feels loved, supported, and challenged. Dancing at DDC has given my daughter so much confidence, not just in the studio and on stage, but it transfers to all areas of her life and it started in the studio. Each instructor she has had made a posotive impact on her life. DDC is not just a dance studio, but a family. There are friendships and lifelong bonds that happen between the dancers AND the parents. We are proud to be part of the DDC Fam!

"When I first started looking for dance studios for my daughter, I wanted to do research. I was a dancer for many years and knew I wanted quality instruction. I am not a local person from Jackson so I'm not biased towards any studio. The year I was looking happened to be the first year opening of both dance studios in Jackson. After researching the biographies of the dance instructors at both studio options, Dawn's Dance Connection stood out with their decades of experience in dance instruction and training. We now just completed our 8th year at Dawn's in Jackson and boy did I make the right choice! The instruction is exceptional and the technique is the difference maker! Anyone can teach steps but technique is a learned skill from the beginning! I am so happy with my daughter's growth in both skill and technique each year! On top of all that, the instructors care so much for our kids and make it such a fun environment. The bonds the girls/boys have formed is immeasurable! Thank you so much to Dawn & her staff who have dedicated their time and talent to our Jackson studio! I am blown away each year by their performances! Dawn's Dance Connection in Jackson is highly recommended. Come join the studio and I promise you will see the difference!"

"I love that  Dawn's Dance Connection teaches my children to dance by bringing in all the technical pieces of what dance has to offer. They not only have fun, but they learn something new each week. The teachers are inspirational and have training or a degree in dance instruction, which makes a HUGE difference!  We love that they have made lifelong friends and that DDC brings joy and good technique to the stage. My kids have developed a reason to dance in this life!"

"My daughter and son both were accepted into high quality dance programs at the college level. Maddie into the University of Iowa BA in Dance and Nate into Boston Conservatory’s Musical Theatre BFA at Berklee College of Music. Dawn’s Dance Connection provides exceptional training in ballet that cannot be found at other studios in the area. The studio has a dance family atmosphere, where dancers of all skill levels are celebrated and supported on their dance journey."

"After struggling a few years to find a good fit for our daughter, who suffers from anxiety issues, we joined Dawn's new studio in Jackson this past year. We could not have been happier with our choice. The feeling of being a part of a family makes my daughter feel comfortable and at ease. The teachers genuinely get to know each of their students. They nurture yet teach. They push yet guide. They keep that love of dance growing. They make it fun yet provide the dance education they deserve. The confidence our daughter gained in one year fills our hearts with joy. Dawn, Abbi, Katie and the rest of the staff are top notch!"

"From day one, Dawn's was warm and inviting and SOOOOO wonderful with my daughter, and the other kids. My daughter went from a VERY anxious shoe fitting at the beginning of the year (THANK YOU, STEPH, for helping her conquer her fear of the unknown that day) to LOVING EVERY MOMENT of recital week and asking when she would get to see her teacher, Abbi, and go back to dance again (on our drive home from the final recital night). Luckily, I had an answer for her... summer dance camp = booked and on the calendar!

EVERYTHING about Dawn's is top of the line. The teachers have incredible talent that is evident in their choreography and the technical skills that their students showcase during their performances. And, on top of the technical greatness, the teachers are wonderful, caring people who genuinely love and nurture their students to grow into confident, expressive, beautiful people.

And the recitals... words cannot describe. If you have ever sat through a dance recital, twiddling your thumbs and looking at your watch, you NEED to go to one of Dawn's recitals. Even before my daughter was a student at Dawn's, I went to her recitals in Jackson and, EVERY YEAR, I have been completely blown away.

We could not be more happy with Dawn's, and look forward to MANY more amazing years of dance and friendship in the future! Thank you to everyone (and special shoutout to Abbi) for a beautiful introduction to dance for our daughter!"
