"Our three young daughters began attending A Time to Dance this year as part of the Creative Movement and Little Gems classes. They had fun every single week and gained new skills and confidence. The dance teachers created a sweet, fun, and orderly environment for the dancers. Most importantly, our daughters gained three young Christian women as their role models, who model the fruits of the spirit and servant leadership. We are so thankful we found A Time to Dance! Keep up the great work!" - Lindsay Heinly (2021)
"I couldn’t be more thrilled the Lord lead our family to A Time To Dance this year. I was ecstatic to find ATTD in my studio search. I had always desired to give my daughters the opportunity to try dancing, but in the past I was very hesitant and skeptical to begin a journey that would likely be stressful and conflict against my values and beliefs if the teaching, content, costumes, and music selections were inappropriate. So thankful those concerns that had me hesitant to even begin searching for a studio are not an issue at all at ATTD. I love that the studio is faith based. You can tell from the minute you enter the studio and interact with any of the Colvin family members that they love the Lord and want to bring Him glory through their gifts of dancing. The teachers pray with the students before class and offer such encouragement to each and every student and family. I feel my daughters are receiving great quality instruction in a positive atmosphere and are making lifelong friends. All the parents are also friendly, supportive of one another, modeling compassion not competition. I called the studio in mid-January 2021 and inquired about visiting. I could immediately tell just through our conversation that this place was worth trying. What a breath of fresh air and normalcy after so much craziness with Covid. Not only did the Colvin family welcome us to visit and trial a few classes for free to see what style and level of dance would be best, they willingly offered to work with my daughter to teach the ballet choreography in a private session at no charge to help her gain confidence to walk into her first class being familiar with the song and choreography. Their genuine willingness to embrace a shy new dancer and give her the boost she needed to be brave and blossom made all the difference in world. Despite our family joining well into the dance season, they even measured my girls for shoes and costumes and welcomed them to join the preparations for the annual performance in May. Because of the Colvin girls’ genuine patience, kindness, excellent instruction and strong leadership and organization, my daughters were able to join their dance classes and perform with confidence and skill, even as young new dancers because of the encouragement they received by their teachers. The annual performance in May was truly a beautiful, God honoring program! If you are looking for a strong faith based dance family, look no further! A Time To Dance is the perfect studio for you! I hope you’ll come check ATTD out and see for yourself the difference. We’d love to welcome you to our dance family. I couldn’t be more thankful that this studio exists in our area as A Time To Dance is truly a blessing to our community!!"

"So proud of my tiny dancers and very thankful for the wonderful influence and guidance of their teachers. If there was an overarching theme for our year it would include the friendship and faith they grew every week being here with these people. They became our family!" - Erin Bowman (2021)
"So thankful for my daughter's amazing dance studio, teacher and dance family!" - Erika Ferguson (2021)
"Faith based artistic dance. I love that my daughter learns real dance styles and not the typical provocative dance styles you find at other studios. And the instructors are wonderful role models." (2021)
"For Christian families who are looking for a dance studio that’s open this fall: we went to the recital by A Time To Dance - Performing Arts today and were very impressed. We have never danced with them before but at the open house and the recital their commitment to the art of dancing and their faith was clear. Fall registration is happening now and we are considering signing up our girls! I’m not affiliated with them, just want to pass along the info in case it helps anyone. Researching studios is exhausting any year, but more so now than ever."

"A Time to Dance is a wonderful Christian Dance Studio. All of their teachers are passionate about dance, love kids, and love Jesus. They offer a variety of classes and host recitals every year. I highly recommend!"

"My daughter has taken dance lessons from the Colvin sisters for years. She takes tap (now level 4!) and worship dance (lyrical and jazz) lessons. The teachers are outstanding – they are encouraging, teach excellent technique, their routines have fresh and creative choreography, and they make classes fun! The routines and costumes are modest – no need to wince at the thought of my son watching his sister’s recital. All of the music they pick is positive, and many of the songs are Christian. They also offer classes to boys and adults. Next year I hope to try a tap class myself! I’m thankful for the studio’s ministry outreach, too; in addition to the formal end-of-year recital, they perform at nursing homes and retirement communities. Thank you, A Time to Dance!"

As the parent of a student
"After a number of studios for my daughter, we finally found "THE ONE" ! Multiple styles of dance and all of her techniques were improved upon in professional, personal, and God-honoring ways. We wish we would have been with this amazing studio all along! The teachers helped turn her love for and ability to dance into a JOYFUL experience as they worked with her. Her skills improved, her confidence blossomed, and her heart shined with each class. I highly encourage dancers of all styles and skill levels to come thrive as students at A Time to Dance !"
"My daughter has danced at other studios and trained with a pre-professional school and yet learned even more and, importantly, experienced a JOY of dancing at ATTD. Her technical skills and stage presence also flourished beginning with her first year with the Colvins' instructors. I've spent untold hours as a parent in studios and at recitals and watching the staff, parents and other students at studios, I find that ATTD studio provides a nurturing environment for dancers of all ages -- professional, personalized and caring about their students. All classes have personal feedback and encouragement for students and that is not something experienced in other studios."

As an adult student
"ATTD offers GREAT classes for adults ! Encouragement, patience, professionalism, and enthusiasm define the Colvins' approach to teaching adults! Watching my daughter dance for years, I had not even considered ever taking a dance class as an adult ... UNTIL I met the staff and saw the classes at ATTD. Tap dancing was great exercise, fun, and with my spouse and other adults in the class a time to grow together. Altogether a far greater experience than I could have imagined with dance teacher Hannah Colvin -- anyone can learn under her expert teaching!"
"Never stop learning. Never stop challenging yourself. Never stop finding new ways to have fun ! This is why my husband and I came to the adult classes and keep coming back. Having never taken dance lessons in our lives, we began with some uncertainty and hesitation but that disappeared as our teacher Hannah worked with us each week. Hannah helped us build dance skills we didn't know we had and have fun as students and as a couple learning to 'dance through life' together! It has been a great experience and I'd love to encourage other adults to make taking a 45-minute adult dance class once a week an important part of enjoying life !"
