We love SunDance and are so thankful to have found a positive and encouraging environment for our daughter to learn gymnastics and dance! All of the coaches and instructors that she’s had the opportunity to work with (August, Kathy, Kayla, Kiersten, Marlia, Mary) have been amazing and are so knowledgeable! They do such a wonderful job keeping everything fun and safe while cultivating an atmosphere that is motivating and supportive. We highly recommend SunDance and can’t say enough great things about them!! - Sara Krause
