“My thirteen years at the Dance Center were by far the best of my life. Nowhere else can you find teachers who are willing to go so far out of their way to make sure you get the best possible all-around dance expeience. The nurturing environment allowed me to prosper socially, and I can honestly say that the best friends I have today are all girls who I met at the Dance Center. Best of all, I never felt pressured to be a certain way and was never insecure about myself. I was always encouraged to just “dance from the heart” and dance because I love to, not because someone else wants me to.”

“What I love about dance is that it is what you make it. It’s not about getting the principal role, how many turns you can do, or how high you can leap. Those are the details, and they can be taught. But the way you feel when you dance, the way the stage lights blind you as you leap into darkness, the pure and beautiful emotion of that one second—these are moments that will last, that will become your passion. Dance is the expression of each girl’s beauty within…in the end; it truly is about dancing from your heart. And it is something you carry with you for the rest of your life.”
“I would love to say that without the professional, intense, well rounded training I received from the Dance Center meanwhile having the caring, family like atmosphere , I would never be where I am today which is an employed dancer in NYC for the past 14 years and now a principal dancer with Martha Graham Dance Company. I feel so connected to the studio even today. I love to come back and perform for them.”
"I’ve taken with me from the Dance Center of Queensbury two of life's most important lessons: the rewards of honest hard work and the importance of letting your passion shine through. The DCQ has the faculty and the capabilities to push their students to achieve their best and more, but nothing will be accomplished in the absence of true determination in the eyes of the students themselves. In turn, this hard work will remain meaningless until the student realizes their passion in life and lets that shine through themselves and their dancing for the world to see, because only then are you most simply and purely yourself." - “The Dance Center was more than a place I learned to dance. I gained qualities like dedication and responsibility that are applicable in all aspects of my life. My most valued reward I gained at the studio is the friends who became family that I will keep forever.”
