"When I moved to
Farmington 4 years ago, I asked everyone I met for
recommendations on a Dance Studio.
Everyone I talked to
recommended, Danscapes. This was in the Summer and I
was told not to wait until the Fall, but to sign up
now because space was limited. I contacted you by email and
my daughter was signed up for classes before school
started.
4 years later, we still get up at the
crack of dawn to register our kids, doesn't that tell you
something!"
*UPDATED NOTE* My daughter just celebrated 5 years
with Danscapes. This is the
ONLY activity that she has not gotten bored of and wanted to
quit. Thank you Jeff and Lindsey for keeping
it interesting!

My son takes piano lessons at Danscapes. I continue to
be impressed with the
immaculate facility, excellent communication, and stellar
instructors! It is with pleasure that we
attend weekly piano lessons.
- Amy Valerio
My daughter is 4 years old, and this was her first
year of dance lessons. When it came time to sign her up for
dance, Danscapes was an easy
decision. Seeing as how I danced there
myself many years ago, I know first hand about the quality
of teaching, the overall care that they have for their
students, and the level of professionalism that the have.
But I have to say that they
have completely surpassed my expectations!
They are unbelievably organized! Whether it is registration,
weekly dance classes, costumes, or most importantly the
recital, it seems like they have everything down to a
science and it all runs so smoothly. On top of that,
their genuine love of dance shows, and to know that your
children are being taught by the best is priceless.
My daughter had an amazing first year at Danscapes, and we
look forward to many many more!
- Jennifer Adorno
My daughter is going into her tenth year with Danscapes. She
has learned dance steps and not just a dance for the year
end recital. The staff makes
her feel special and she really is learning to dance. I just
think you guys are great!
- Deb Parenti
"We LOVE Danscapes!
My daughter wasn't thrilled about having
to take dance (we came from another studio where her
experience wasn't great). After her first lesson she
couldn't stop talking about how much she LOVES to dance! She
looks forward to going every week! I appreciate how
professional and kind her teacher is. As a parent I love how
professional the staff are at the studio. I appreciate the
high expectations they have for dress standards, and how on
the ball they are about getting notices & information out to
the parents. I am so grateful my neighbor recommended your
studio to us! I can't tell you thank you enough!
I only regret not finding you sooner!"
- Amanda C. Lindsay
We "travel" from West Hartford to Danscapes and
feel that it is superior to
more convenient dance schools. The teachers
really know my children and teach them in a professional and
respectful manner. My four
girls have all had wonderful experiences at Danscapes and
look forward to dance each week. I have been
to numerous recitals over the years and
Danscapes is always superior in creativity, music
selection, length and overall professional production
quality. We all look forward to the recital
weekend.
- Rebecca Selig
"Both my son and daughter take private music lessons at
Danscapes and love it!! I was able to schedule both lessons
on the same day at the same time
which makes it so
convenient for all of us. The studio is always clean and
bright with easy parking and at such a convenient location.
The teachers at Danscapes are the best. They are
professional, friendly and always providing a fun and
creative learning atmosphere. Both my son and daughter
love going to their lesson each week! Thanks Danscapes!"
- Tracey Van Hoof
"The staff at Danscapes set a
high standard of
professionalism that students absorb and adopt as their own.
The studio is impeccably clean, their organization leaves
little question as to the expectations for both parents and
students and their personal service anticipates all your
needs. The increasingly complex dance instruction,
professional expectations in attire, behavior and
performance culminate in a polished and pleasing final
production as a teaser for the following year. It is
rewarding to see the passion cultivated in my daughter,
Sally, over her last seven years as part of the Danscapes
family."
- Betsy Kaplan
I have been dancing at Danscapes for eleven years, and
the entire studio has become
like a second family to me. There is a sense
of camaraderie as well as accomplishment among the dancers
that is clearly fostered by the teachers' investment in
making the whole dance experience a positive and
professional one.
- Julie Mathieu
"We feel very fortunate to be part of Danscapes Music and
Dance. We have kids who have been involved in music and
dance classes at the studio for the past 4 years. Danscapes
is run in a professional manner from the registration
process on through to the recital. Previous dance studios
that we were part of don't hold a candle to Danscapes. We
would highly recommend Danscapes to any kids considering
dance or music lessons."
- The Hanks Family
"Olivia was only
four but could not wait for Wednesday "dance day" to come
each week. Her teacher made her feel so at home that she had
no reservations about staying without me."

Erin Marin
"I initially chose
to enroll my daughter for dance lessons at Danscapes because
the staff was the friendliest of all the studios I looked
into. My daughter looks forward to her dance lessons all
week long. She loves her instructors (as do I)
because they
are kind, fun, and good with young children. We are amazed
when she shows us her new moves at home. We are so happy to
have found such a wonderful place for her to have fun and
learn something new! Thanks again!"
- Cheryl Roper
"Danscapes has
been so much more than just a dance school for my daughter.
Over the years she has learned about integrity,
professionalism, and creativity. Jeff and Lindsey show great
patience and understanding of young people. They place great
value on excellent performance through practice and hard
work, but know when to bend. We have been fortunate to have
these fine people as role models for our daughter.....in so
much more than the performing arts....in life!"
- Carlene Bartolotta
(...and I
mean it!)
"Being a member at Danscapes for the past 12 years, it has
become my second home. The staff shows tremendous respect
towards all of the students and their families. I thoroughly
appreciate all the effort put into each year's show and into
the students all year through. Thank you for not only
teaching me dance skills, but life-long lessons."
- Danielle
Dressler
"I always knew my
son had a gift for music. His teacher at Danscapes brought
that gift to fruition through piano lessons. Here we are a
year later with a piano in our living room and one heck of a
piano player! He has more self confidence than before and
we are very proud of his achievements. Thank you for helping
Ben "find himself" through music!!"
- Gina West
Danscapes
teachers and staff always
provides the ultimate learning experience and quality dance
education in a friendly, fun and creative environment
which keeps us returning year after year. We truly enjoy the
dance seasons at Danscapes!

Wendy DiAngelis
"Each year we are
amazed at how much Emily is learning and developing as a
dancer. Again family and friends attending the recital rave
about how professional its run and how much talent your
studio has. Your choreography, costumes, and music selection
make for a truly enjoyable show.
We recently registered for next year’s classes and again,
thank you for making it so easy. I appreciate you taking the
time to coordinate my children’s music and dance schedules
so they meet on the same days making it possible for both of
them to take advantage of your music program."
- Holly
Goodwin
"Danscapes has
strengthened me not just physically, but also in my
heart; dancing is a passion of mine.
I've had many wonderful
experiences and I hope other students can have the same."

"Taylor has been
dancing at Danscapes for eight years, and
each year she is
more excited and enthusiastic than the last. The
professionalism and the camaraderie that makes up the staff,
the school and all of it’s students are the best bar none.
The discipline that is taught carry’s her through everyday
living, in the way she views and carries herself. The dance
recital is the most professional of any that I have ever
attended. We can’t imagine everyday life without Danscapes
being a part of it."
- Joyce Morin (Gouveia)
We have enjoyed being part of the Danscapes Family for
the past 2 years! We are sadly
moving out of state but hope to find somewhere as wonderful
and Danscapes in our new town. Thanks for
everything!
- Darlena Kolpak
"You have even kept the parents in
mind and made things easier for us with all of the extras
you provide... from recital music, to
tights, to setting up your automatic payment system which
makes our lives so much easier.
Thank you for
having a dress code. This gives the girls a sense of
professionalism and gives them pride in being true dancers."
- Krystyna

"I am so glad that
my daughter takes her piano and choir lessons at Danscapes.
The atmosphere is friendly and the staff is incredible. They
are very accommodating to my daughters schedule and well
organized. Everything about Danscapes is excellent and
I am very happy with my daughter's
progress."
- Gretchen
Murphy
Well
organized dance studio. Great recital. My family flies in
every year and they are always impressed.
Most important, my daughter
loves it and loves the staff.

Holly Julian
"After more than
ten years at Danscapes, we have nothing but great things to
say about the professional instruction our girls have
received. Our eldest in college continues to pursue the love
and passion for dance that she was first introduced to at
Danscapes, as our youngest continues to receive the highest
quality of dance instruction in a safe, nurturing
environment. Dance has brought great pleasure to our
children and Jeff and Lindsey have continued to keep it
fresh, fun and challenging. We are so fortunate to have such
fabulous instruction and teachers who continue to bring the
art of dance to a higher level for our children."
- Tweety Rodis
I've spent over 13 years dancing at Danscapes and
wouldn't think of going
anywhere else! Not only are we learning new
movements and improving our technique every week, but we're
all excited to see our "dance family". Dancers create new
friendships and gain life long friends through classes.
Danscapes makes dancing special
and fun for all of the students and all
teachers do a great job communicating effectively. We love
you Danscapes!

Olivia Proulx
"My daughter began taking private clarinet lessons at
Danscapes in September. From our first week, we have felt
welcomed in the music studio and Olivia has received
wonderful attention and direction from her instructor.
Olivia looks forward to meeting with her teacher each week
who has provided just the right balance of encouragement and
challenge for her. Glenn and I were delighted when our
daughter had the opportunity to participate in her first
recital this past December. What a treat to hear all of the
young instrumentalists who take part in the Danscapes
program.
Because we live in Plainville, we appreciate the convenience
of the music studio, but Danscapes has much more than locale
to commend it. The bright comfort of the studio, the quality
of the teaching, and the warmth and professionalism of Jeff
and Lindsey are the greatest benefits to our student
musician."
- June Burns
"My daughter, Amanda, has been attending Danscapes for five
years now. The school is big enough to offer professionalism
at its finest. The owners take great pride in offering high
quality instruction and they do have high expectations -- at
the same time, the element of fun is always present.
The school is small enough that Jeff, Lindsey and the
instructors know each student and family personally.
They
nurture each student, drawing on their strengths. The
outcome is a rewarding one. I have witnessed my child's
grace, poise, talent and level of confidence as I have never
seen it before. The recital is an amazing work of art."
- Marla Morgan
Jeff and Lindsey take the time to know every single
one of their dancers personally.
I feel welcome every time I walk into Danscapes,
seeing a smile on everyone's faces. In
class, you are worked just hard enough-so it isn't too easy,
nor too hard, so you do improve so much every year.
I love Danscapes and I know
that once you start, you never want to leave-personally
I tried to take a year off and it was one of my biggest
mistakes, I really do recommend this school!
- Nicole
Ditomaso
"The professionalism and quality of the entire organization
is second to none. Individual attention is given to each
student as they progress through the class and subsequently
through their years at Danscapes. It’s a fun place to learn
to dance with an awesome recital to end each year."
- Mary Francini
I have been attending Danscapes for 9 years now, and
I have to say that it has had a
huge impact on the way I live my life. Jeff, Lindsey, and
the other staff have taught me a lot about respect for
myself and everyone around me. I always look
foreword to coming to dance and learning all of the new
skills and stretches to heighten my dancing ability. At
Danscapes, age doesn't really matter, (all of the classes
are sorted by skill of the dancer) which is another reason
why I love dancing there. I have made so many long lasting
relationships with both staff and students that I am sure I
will never forget. Danscapes is a hugely professional school
that makes me feel like I am a part of something greater
than myself. I cannot wait to
restart dance in the fall.
