I have been a dancer here for 11 years. I can say it is definitely the most welcoming studio I have ever seen considering nowadays the world can be unfriendly. The director is nothing short of astounding at her job and she not only teaches us to dance but how to be good people as well. Great atmosphere with nice teachers. And the studio manager/receptionist is very receptive and dedicated to her customers needs and concerns and making sure you stay well informed. Fantastic! (If I could I’d give a million stars because this place is like a second home)

My daughter has attended Evelyn Ott for years now. She loves it and is always excited to go. They are very professional, kind, and helpful when needed. Our experience is nothing but great.

My daughter has been attending EOSOD for years now, and our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and enthusiasm from Brittney and Ms. Jayme. The sense of community among the parents, kids, and teachers is truly remarkable. The teachers like Arizona, Stephanie and the others are not only highly skilled professionals but also nurturing and supportive mentors. They go above and beyond to ensure that each child receives individual attention and encouragement, fostering a love for dance while also instilling discipline and technique. As a parent, I've been impressed by the level of communication and transparency provided by the staff. They keep us informed about class schedules, performances, and any changes or updates promptly and efficiently. But perhaps the most outstanding aspect of EOSOD is the sense of camaraderie among the students and their families. Whether it's during classes, rehearsals, or performances, there's a palpable sense of support and encouragement that permeates the atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend EOSOD to any parent looking for a nurturing, professional, and inspiring dance environment for their child. It's more than just a dance school; it's a community where children can thrive and grow both as dancers and individuals.

Very friendly staff. Great teachers who are excellent with the kids. Coriography for recitals and competitions are the best. This will be my granddaughter's fourth year and she loves the teachers and staff. As a grandfather I am not that great on hair. Wendi almost always manages to help and if not one of the parent or teachers help. It's like a big family. If you want to see how popular it is with the kids and parent go and visit between classes and chance is you will see a very crowded lobby. If the staff is already helping some one and they see you they will no doubt tell you they will be right with you. Be patient ...the school is worth the wait!!

If you want an amazing studio this is where you need to go! Relaxed, welcoming and professional there is no place I would rather have my children! Mrs. Wendy makes the studio bright and cheerful. My daughter who doesn’t dance anymore asks about Mrs. Wendy and her prior teachers on a regular basis. This studio by far exceeded any expectations I had set. If you are looking for a new Dance Home, this is it!
