TDA is the Best Dance Studio! Hands down, the BEST Recitals! Never a dull moment in the adult classes, we are always laughing! Great studio for any age. Welcoming environment for any level of dancer- beginner to advanced. Best decision I made for my girls and myself. Amazing instructors!

We have really enjoyed our first year at Tilleys. The teachers are very friendly, and they teach proper ballet positions and terminology even in the preschool level classes.

We love TDA!
All of the staff have been so loving to my daughter and myself! My daughter started in the mommy and me class at only 18months old, she had a trach at the time so was unable to talk but Mrs. Denise quickly picked up on her sign language and made my girl feel like she was no different than anyone else!! I trusted all of the staff so much that even with my daughter having a trach I allowed her to attend the summer camp and they took such great care of her! My daughter has now danced for 7 years and I myself have danced for 5 years! The adult class is such a blast, a great mom break!! We are so blessed to be apart of TDA and so grateful for the friendships we have made there!!

We absolutely love Tilleys Dance Academy and have been a part of their family for many years! I danced there for 21 years and now I am able to take my daughter back to the same studio I grew up in with such fun and loving teachers! She has done 2 years of mommy and me and this year was her first year in the preschool class! She loves dance and always talk about how much fun she has with Mrs. Denise! There isn’t anywhere else I would want to have my daughter dancing! They truly care about our kids and I saw it first hand as I grew up at the studio! I’ve made life long friends here and I know my daughter will do the same! Thank you TDA for being the best and original in all you do! Your choreography, costumes, and enthusiasm for your kids is unmatched!!!! We love you!🩷

Tilley's is amazing. This is our daughter's second year of dance (preschool) and Denise and her assistants are so, so patient and fun for these little ones. Our daughter is always excited to go to class and learn dance with her friends.

We had my daughter’s 6th birthday there yesterday and it was INCREDIBLE!
2 teachers helped me carry in and set out the stuff I brought, they provided tables and table cloths, they had the cutest crafts for the kids, they played all my daughters fav dance games and songs, each kid won a medal during these games that they got to keep, they helped me round all the kids up for each part of the party, even came up with a sweet game for the gift giving! THEN they cleaned the whole place up!
Both teachers were so fun, patient and HELPFUL!
10/10 recommend bc I got to enjoy my little girls party instead of running around like crazy!
Rock on TDA + THANK YOU

My 8 year old daughter had a Taylor Swift birthday party and they had so much fun 😁. Tori- dance instructor and her mom really made sure everyone had fun with games and dancing. Best surprise was visit from sweet girl that played guitar and sang few taylor swift songs with the girls. My daughter came home and told that was the best birthday party ever and that made my day 💗 . Thank you guys for allowing us to be part of your facility for a day. The girls truly had an amazing experience.

Had the sweetest experience participating in the ‘Mommy and Me’ class with my daughter. Thank you Tilley’s! She loved her dance teacher, Mrs. Denise—all of the staff are very friendly and keep you up to date. She tells me she wants to go to dance class everyday now, so we are looking forward to next season!

All the staff at TDA are exceptional dancers, teachers, and mentors. My granddaughter has been dancing for 13 years and there is nothing that she would rather be doing. She has made many lifelong friends, and I am very grateful for all that TDA has done for her. We love being part of the TDA family!

I grew up dancing at Tilley’s and my daughter just completed her first year. Ms. Denise is a wonderful dance teacher and studio owner! Ms. Denise, Amy, Lauren, Cortney, and all other staff are so kind to the dancers. It is very clear how much they love to dance! Thank you for all the wonderful things you’ve taught my daughter this year. I hope she continues to love dance and makes as many fun memories as I did growing up.

My daughter and I have had an amazing experience at Tilley’s. She’s finishing up her second year and she loves it! Mrs. Denise and Mrs. Cortney are the best! They keep you up to date on what to expect and when to expect it. We’ve had such a great experience not only will my daughter be back next year, I’m seriously considering taking the adult classes myself next year! If you want to dance I recommend Tilley’s all the way!

We have absolutely loved our year at Tilley’s! We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Ms Denise and the whole staff. Honestly, we are sad that it summer which means break from regular classes because it’s one of our girl’s favorite day of the week! Can’t wait for what the future holds for our girl at Tilley’s and watching them refine and elevate her talent!

If I could give Tilley’s Dance Academy 100 stars, I would! Fantastic group of people that share their love for dance with fun classes for all ages! I enjoy the adult hip hop and also jazz and tap classes. My daughter, who is four, very much enjoyed her first year of classes this past year. I am thrilled for her to have the opportunity to learn from such caring, committed, and talented instructors! Thank you TDA 💗

My daughter has been taking dance at Tilley’s for 3 years. She has learned so much during her time here. The staff & student helpers are so friendly & eager to help you no matter the need. I have always had an easy time communicating any questions or concerns, they’re very responsive & easy to talk to. I would highly recommend Tilley’s to anyone who wants to get their child into dance or dance themselves. I look forward to my daughter dancing here for many more years to come!

As a mom of a young lady who needed to build coordination and confidence - I could not love this place more! They let kids be kids, they giggle, they make friends, and they learn skills. Even if a child decides not to dance forever the foundation laid taking dance classes is lifelong! As a young dancer myself, I had confidence to be in front of people, I picked up on steps or tasks more easily, I made friends - these are all things dance teaches you. Plus the young ladies who help with the younger groups - you can’t ask for better role models!!

The staff if wonderful with the kids and provide a fun learning experience!! You can tell they really love what they do. There are several types of dance classes to choose from so you can pick what's best for your child. The recitals are spectacular and so much fun to watch. Tilley's also has a good selection of dance apparel, bows, bags, etc. in the dance shop! We have had nothing but GREAT experiences here!!
