Testimonials of Spring Break Camp

My daughters took Ms Alison’s spring break dance camp and loved it. Alison is a fantastic teacher who clearly loves dance, kids and teaching, and leads with her heart. The camp was very well organized and I was impressed by how Alison was able to teach kids in a wide range of ages at once. Even though the class was only a week long, the kids learned a ton and the exhibition they performed on the final day of camp was truly impressive. It was obvious how much the kids loved Alison — as my younger daughter just told me, “Make sure to give her five stars - she is the bestest!”

“Run!! Don’t walk to grab your spot at Rise up and Dance Camp with Ms. Alison!! Spots will go fast! 

I cannot begin to describe how incredible this camp was for our daughter Annabelle. She would sign up for this class indefinitely if she could. Ms. Alison is so uplifting and encouraging and makes the kids feel so empowered and happy. I have never seen my child smile so much! This camp was about so much more than just memorizing dance moves and cheers it was really about connecting with herself and feeling really good about the person she is and that showed through by the end of the week. 

I can not thank Ms. Alison enough for providing that space and energy  for my young lady to enjoy her spring break in. She made new friends and learned new ways to be proud of herself and will absolutely be coming back in the summer. Alison is providing  amazing and uplifting fun for our kiddos and I hope you all get a chance to experience that with her!! She is hands down one of the best teachers we have ever encountered. A true gift that she graciously shares with our little ones.”
