Parent Testimonials

"My teen daughter leaves your dance class on Thursday nights "buzzing" with excitement. She talks nonstop about the rehearsal and choreography for about 30 minutes and then does about 30 minutes of dance moves at home going over what she's learned that night. Thanks for making her feel magical/ powerful/ challenged. Thanks for admitting her into your program." - Heather Y.

"BGD is truly a special organization. Ms. Erin has created an amazing community of dancers and families, and her passion for dance education is amazing. The teachers are also incredible and supportive! The annual spring rehearsal is quite a production and not to be missed!" - Michelle L.

"We are so grateful to be a part of the Black Girls Dance community! Our daughter takes hip hop dance classes and it’s been amazing watching her dance skills and confidence grow. She was in her first recital and we were so proud! Erin produced a show that was beautiful, mesmerizing, and inspiring. Erin is so great with the kids, and such a strong, beautiful role model. The teachers are all amazing too! We love Black Girls Dance!" Jamie J.
