American Dance Institute Shoreline

Jan 2023

This was my first online class with Dakota Crist. I found her to be a caring teacher with exceptional skill. Her corrections were meaningful and immediately applicable. Dakota asked about injuries which was important to me with an overuse injury to me knee. I also need to rave about the quality of the production. Sound, lighting, camera angles were skillfully set. Transmission was flawless. I've had several years of online classes with technical problems that just eat-up the flow of the class and any enthusiasm the teacher was working so hard to inspire. American Dance Institute nailed it!

Wonderful dance studio! My daughter took dance here from the age of 2 to 6 on and off. She loved it. She primarily had teacher Dakota as her instructor. I loved how Dakota incorporated exercises that helped the kids learn about spacial thinking, narrative thinking, character, and time. My daughter got a strong foundation in dance and had a lot of fun.

I have been attending ballet classes at ADI shoreline for over 3 years. It has been so fun to be a part of a community of adults getting back into dance or trying dance classes for the first time. Dakota has been my teacher over the years, and she is phenomenal. She creates a warm, welcoming and supportive environment and makes the classes fun. I highly recommend ADI!
