  • We absolutely love Monica's School of Dance! With four girls, it means so much to us to have found a studio where they feel known, encouraged, and genuinely loved. Monica and Mike have created such a special environment where kids can grow not only as dancers, but also in confidence, discipline, and friendship. That sense of community extends to the parents, too. The group of moms at Monica's is truly amazing. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and supportive of one another and all of our kids. Our girls genuinely look forward to being at the studio, and we feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a special community.

  • A Decade of Dance, Love & Family For the past 10 years, Monica's School of Dance has been so much more than just a dance studio to our family — it has truly become family. When my daughter first walked through those doors, I could have never imagined how much this studio would impact her life and ours. Over the years, she has grown not only as a dancer, but as a young woman. She has learned discipline, commitment, confidence, perseverance, and the importance of working hard for something you love. Mike and Monica have poured so much love, time, and encouragement into my daughter. They have celebrated her successes, encouraged her through the difficult moments, and always made her feel supported and loved. They have helped shape her into the person she is today, and for that, I will forever be grateful. There is something so special about a place where you can walk through the doors and feel like you belong. That is what Monica's School of Dance has been for us. We have made memories, friendships, and relationships that will last a lifetime. We have watched our daughter grow, not only in her dancing, but in her confidence and character. Ten years is a long time, and when I look back, I realize that we didn't just spend 10 years at a dance studio — we spent 10 years surrounded by people who loved my daughter, believed in her, challenged her, and helped her become the best version of herself. Monica's School of Dance will always hold a very special place in our hearts. It is a second home, a place filled with love, and most importantly, family. I am so thankful that 10 years ago, my daughter walked through those doors. I truly believe we were blessed with so much more than a dance studio — we found our dance family.

  • Our family has been a part of Monica's School of Dance for over 30 years, with all four of my children training here throughout different stages of their lives. Watching them grow from beginners into confident dancers and performers has been a remarkable journey. The studio has consistently been a second home, with the dance family a huge part of our lives and a supportive community that has stood the test of time. What makes the studio special is not just the quality of dance education, but the lasting impact it has on its students. Through the years, our children learned discipline, perseverance, teamwork, and self-confidence alongside their dance training. Monica Renwick has been a huge role model to my girls. She and her instructors have always demonstrated a genuine commitment to every dancer's development, creating traditions and memories that our family will cherish forever. Looking back, the studio has been more than a place to learn dance — it has been an important part of our family history. We are incredibly grateful for the friendships, trips, shared laughs and sorrows, opportunities, and life lessons it has provided to all of us.

  • Monica's School of Dance has truly become a second home for my girls. We have two daughters who have been dancing at Monica's for several years, and from the moment they started, their love for dance has only continued to grow. Even more special has been watching their sense of family, friendship, and belonging develop along the way. What I love most about Monica's is the culture of family that Monica and her husband, Mike, have created. They genuinely take the time to know each dancer and their family, making everyone feel welcomed, valued, and supported. Monica is passionate about building confident young boys and girls who thrive in the performance world, and it shows in everything she does. Families are always welcome to come in and watch whenever the dancers are ready to show off what they've been working on. I've been amazed by the confidence my girls have developed — not only in their dancing, but in performing in front of other dancers, families, and an audience. We are so grateful to have found Monica's School of Dance. It has given our girls so much more than dance — it has given them confidence, friendships, a sense of belonging, and a true dance family. We couldn't recommend Monica's more highly!
