Defying Gravity is an elite dancing school and the owner Nicole is not only talented and skilled herself, but she knows how to apply that to coaching, teaching and getting the most of out her students to help them reach their full potential. She expects a lot of our her students, but she gives everything you could ever ask for in a teacher. Would recommend ten times out of ten.

This is our first year at Defying Gravity. My daughter is a teen and has been dancing at another studio for years. She is on their competition dance team as well as taking classes multiple days a week. We have seen so much improvement in her technique and confidence as a dancer from all that she has learned in the short time we have been here. We weren't sure how welcome she was going to feel once she switched studios so far into her dancing journey. To our great satisfaction, she was welcomed by all the dancers at the studio. It was as if she had been dancing there her whole life. Everyone we have gotten to meet in the Defying Gravity Dance family has been wonderful and gracious. We always feel included by everyone from teachers, directors, fellow dancers and all the families as well. This is a great school to either begin or transfer for anyone looking to jump into the dance world.

My daughter was looking for a new studio that would push and challenge her as a dancer, but also had a great team atmosphere where she could have fun, learn from amazing teachers and grow as a dancer. I knew she found that studio at Defying Gravity when she walked out of her first class and said βNow thatβs what it feels like to love dance.β We couldnβt be happier with Nicole and the wonderful team at Defying Gravity.

This will be my daughter's third year dancing on the competitive team with Defying Gravity. Coming from another studio, Defying Gravity immediately welcomed my daughter with open arms and has taught her a lot. Nicole Bibby, the owner of the studio, and all of the teachers at DG are enthusiastic, caring and supportive. The studio itself is beautiful too! My daughter is looking forward to spending her Senior year with her awesome dance family at Defying Gravity!

My daughter adores this dance studio, Miss Nicole, and her staff. Not growing up in Rhode Island, I was so happy to find a place that was warm and inviting like my own childhood studio. The owner focuses not only on building exceptional dance skills, but emphasizes lessons on confidence, and kindness. So happy to be a part of the Defying Gravity family!

Nicole and her team is fantastic. My daughter has been with her company since she could barely walk. She loves her team as well as Nicole. Itβs fun watching all the kids grow. Her coaches are top notch. If you want to be with a dance company that is successful and most importantly has proven results, this is the dance company to join.

Defying Gravity has been my daughters second home for the past 7 years. She started as a recreation dancer and always had a fun time while receiving the best training. The celebrations and pizza parties and constant new choreography always challenged her and kept her engaged. She eventually decided she wanted to compete. Seeing other studios and competing around New England and hearing judges feedback solidified that Defying Gravity offers the best mix of fun, technique, choreography and opportunity around. My daughter feels loved, valued and like she has an extended family. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Miss Nicole & her entire staff are extremely talented & welcoming. Our oldest started six years ago and we followed the studio from Cranston to EG to stay with them! My younger girls also attend and every one of them have learned so very much. They are also gaining the ability to follow directions, be disciplined and to be a teammate! We love DG! ππ€

I cannot say enough how positive our experience is being apart of the DG family. My daughter joined little twirlers last season and absolutely thrived. She loved Miss Jamie and begged to go to class every Saturday! We are rejoining for the 22-23 season! Nicole is wonderful and so personable and really takes time to get to know the families and clearly cares about every single dancer. Also love the location and look/atheistic of the studio overall. Very clean and family friendly!!!

Canβt say enough about Nicole and her staff. Her experienced teachers and choreography are excellent and when you get to the competition level, it really provides our daughter the confidence not only on stage but will benefit her in the future. I recommend anytime for a boy or girl to try out this dynamic studio! Nicole being a competitor herself knows the industry and has a 5-star reputation.

This studio is the best in Rhode Island hands down. Nicole and her staff are so sweet with the kids and they are all so talented. Their recitals are the best! Itβs like going to a broadway show. Sheβll let your child try a class for free to see if they like it... I promise you wonβt be disappointed.

It was a dark and stormy night, they were the only ones who let me in. They kept me warm and cozy through the night. But, the best part was, THEY GAVE ME FOOD! It was edible, and wonderful! And also, they have dancers. They dance. But a horrific sight struck upon me, a foot! It was not pointed! The horror! But then, the woman kindly corrected the honest but awful mistake. That is what I saw trekking through the darkness at night.
THE END
P.S.
It's actually a good school. I do not go there, but my friend does.
