"On Your Toes has been a FABULOUS school for our (then 2 year old, now almost 4 years old) first experience with dance lessons.  Our daughter has loved every teacher she has had, and is always excited to go to class.  I have been told by other parents how intense schools can be--to the point where it is no longer "fun" for the parents nor the students.  Not so at On Your Toes.  They are good at what they do, and we are thrilled to have found them!"  Melissa and Steve, parents of Shira.

"On Your Toes has been a wonderful experience for my daughter.  Her teacher is patient and makes it fun while she's learning.  She looks forward to class every week."-Nancy Lige

"I love On Your Toes!  Originally, I started dancing to keep active and heal after years of snowboarding and martial arts injuries.  Within 10 weeks, my back and ankle injuries have almost disappeared and I feel longer, stronger and more flexible.  Special thanks to the friendly staff and my teacher O'Calla, who has tailored private lessons in hip hop, ballet, and tap for me that have been therapeutic, fantastically fun and have awakened my inner child.  This is the best present I've ever bought myself!"  Susan Hira-age 41.

"At age 50 I wanted to try ballet and I am loving it.  I researched many of the dance studios in the metro area and happened across On Your Toes School of Dance.   When I contacted the studio, The receptionist's cheerful, inviting phone voice made my decision to start ballet there.  My instructor Grigoriy is invested in my potential and progress.  His knowledge of his art and passion for sharing his gift makes him a true joy to work with.  Grigoriy disbursed my fears and apprehension about my pursuit of ballet as an adult student."  Cheryl Abelson-Hjelmeland, RN.

"Ballroom dancing has brought tremendous joy to my life, whether it's dancing socially or at exciting and glamorous competitions around the country.  Learning from and dancing with World Champion Jeff Nehrbass has been a genuine pleasure."  Randee Paster.

"I love dancing at OYT because it is very personal.  There is a lot of one on one time with the teachers which I think has helped me improve as a dancer, greater than being in a large class.  Dancing here has opened up dance opportunities in which I doubt I would be able to have done somewhere else.  For example performing in Chicage for an AIDS benefit."-Ashley Miller, Diamond Line.
