Customer Review
This dance studio is my second home, and I would give it 10 stars if I could.
Shawl-Anderson has a unique combination of excellent teachers in every style, a completely non-competitive vibe, a supportive community, and a commitment to the credo that Everyone Can Dance. Although it was founded with a focus on modern dance, there are offerings in many dance genres for all ages (you are never too old!) at all skill levels from absolute beginner to professional. All body shapes are welcome. The emphasis is not on looking a certain way but on learning and growing as a mover. I have made so many friends there, as well as getting to explore dance under the guidance of many incredible teachers. SADC does what every dance studio should aspire to do: bring together and support a community of artists, audiences, and students at every stage.
