Pilchuck Dance Academy

My daughter is a competitive dancer at Pilchuck Dance Academy(P2) in Marysville WA. She started dancing there at the age of 4, she is now thirteen. This will be her 6th year on the competition team. In those 6 years she has performed in Disneyland, Las Vegas, The Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, Seaside Oregon, as well as many local regional competitions. In Connecticut our little studio from Marysville took on the big studios from New York, Boston, and Washington DC and won a national title. The excitement on the kids faces was priceless (the parents too for that matter). Last year we performed at Benaroya Hall for the 8th annual Jump Session Show. The kids got to perform with dancers from around the world to raise money for charity. After the show the director of Benaroya sought out the P2 kids to tell them how professional they behaved, and that came from the other performers too. The kids and studio were invited back next year on the spot! The teachers there have done a wonderful job transforming all the kids into great dancers. The kids have great respect for the teachers as well as the teachers do for the kids. My daughter is doing all forms of dance: Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Ballet, Point, Modern, And Hip Hop. In the past she has not liked Tap or Hip Hop but Jovon and Rodney have made it fun but at the same time tough. I have not written a review for anything before but I am writing this one because I want to counter some of the other reviews I have read. Most of those have come from disgruntled teachers and parents that have left the studio or been asked to not come back. The people that hide behind the anonymity of a phony screen name to make negative comments need to get a life. This is a great place for your child to learn to dance, just for fun or competitively.
