WHAT SETS SHARONS APART
- Sharon’s offers a variety of classes at all times of the day. I love that there are evenings and weekends for working parents schedules. As well as, weekly day time classes for homeschoolers.
- The waiting areas is sibling friendly with lots of room to move around and plenty of chairs for sitting. Parents can enjoy watching through big windows to observe the class.
- The studios are impressive! The rooms are large with plenty of room to move around. The Ninja zone is especially fun. Kids love the warrior course.
- The goal of classes is on instruction in a non-competitive, fun atmosphere!
- I appreciate that class sizes are limited to allow for more individualized attention and personal growth.
- Many parents have shared with me that their concerns with joining a dance studio is the fear of inappropriate costumes and makeup. This isn’t a concern at Sharon’s; costumes are kid friendly and conservative – no low cut tops or tummies showing!
