My daughter has taken dance at a few studios across southern Connecticut and Astra takes the cake! The director is so amazingly talented - one of best choreographers and has won many awards for her work. More importantly, both herself and her mother (who manages the studio) are incredibly kind to the girls and build confidence and the importance of teamwork and relationships in dance. Trusting one another and respect. They say hello to us, learned our names immediately, and answer as quick as I have ever had a business respond when I have had a question. The girls have fun together while also learning technical skill buildings and technique in dance. We are incredibly lucky someone recommended this studio to us- and we will continue to go here as long as my daughter wants to dance. Check them out! ~ Anna G.
