Skunkworks is such a special place! We wholeheartedly recommend it based on the reasons below:First, the staff are extraordinary, extending their roles beyond dance instruction to become mentors and role models. They aren’t simply excellent dancers and teachers, but offer so much more. Founder Jana is such a well-rounded visionary who has built Skunkworks into an inclusive and innovative pre-professional dance studio. Daniel produces amazing dance films, and we especially appreciate that he instills valuable life lessons in kids, inspiring them to become the best version of themselves. Ms. Julia has infinite patience and always is encouraging kids to try their best.Second, the classes are designed with a unique professional touch. They don’t just focus on traditional dance forms, but also foster individual creativity, allowing kids to discover their own voice. Remarkably, they incorporate scientific lessons on body, energy and mind. Their unique approach educates kids on self-care and empowers them to harness their potential to achieve remarkable results.Third, the studio is impeccably managed. Despite a bustling schedule filled with classes, events, and parties, the communication is streamlined and efficient, easing the lives of parents. Moreover, Jana’s family, including her parents and husband, are always there to help out, creating a tight-knit community that provides reassurance to parents and models strong family values.Lastly, Skunkworks is truly a special place for our daughter. It’s a sanctuary where she can concentrate on her passion, express herself, and explore her potential alongside like-minded peers, regardless of the outside world’s chaos. Here, she’s learning critical life skills such as determination, self-care, independence, responsibility, and teamwork! We are very grateful!
