Testimonials

What our clients say...

“After 5 years of ballet training in New Orleans my daughter took a little break when we moved to the Northshore. When she was ready to start dancing again we were told NAD was the best. We couldn’t agree more. She has flourished as a dancer and has made some amazing friends. Her teachers are dedicated, passionate and they really love the girls. I’d recommend NAD to anyone wanting an amazing dance experience for their daughter.”

“NAD is like home for my girls and what they learn goes way beyond dance. This studio builds character, work ethic, respect and a strong sisterhood! The teachers are wonderful leaders with each having their own special gifting. Both my girls are who they are today because of their positive influence through the years. We are truly thankful.”

“It's been 11 years since our daughters danced at NAD. This year, our granddaughter danced in her first recital. Everyone at NAD is totally committed to the making the classes and recital the best it can possibly be. Thank you to Lydia and her staff for giving our granddaughter a fun and safe place to learn the art of dance.”

“Northshore gave my girls the most incredible professional training in the most positive atmosphere you can imagine!!!
