“I started my girls in Dance at the age of 4 and 3. Dance was such an important part of my life and I wanted my girls to experience it too. They absolutely loved dancing and recital. Dancing at the dance factory brought them such poise and posture and how to control their body movements. They both dances on the School Jr High Dance team and the High School team. Ali continues to dance and I am blessed to coach. Many practices Miss Becky’s techniques comes to our minds. I wouldn’t have traded all the nights at the studio and the friendships that were made.”

“I owe so many of my successes in my life to The Dance Factory and the mentorship of Becky Smith. I remember seeing Becky’s advertisement in the Miss Nebraska  Program book before she opened and I was over the moon excited. I went to registration with my mom and I signed up for every class I could. I had no confidence and no desire to wear tights and a leotard, but I wanted to dance. Fast forward three years and I had learned not only how to dance, but I had competed on stage, performed a solo, learned how to do my hair and makeup, gained confidence and poise, and most importantly I gained a mentor and a friend who has been there for every step of my life. I can honestly say that without the experiences and personal growth that I gained through the dance factory that I would not have had the skills or confidence to become a pharmacist, a speaker, an executive director of a statewide program, or the “dance mom” I am today. The greatest joy has been the last 9 years, witnessing my daughters perform on the same recital stage and receive the same mentorship that changed my life. Forever grateful and forever a supporter of the Dance Factory and all it does to change young people’s lives forever.”

“I started dance 11 years ago and it was the best thing my mom could have put me in. The studio gave me so many amazing teachers and so many amazing friends, and so many great opportunities. I made so many great memories through the studio that will never be forgotten. It was always so fun waiting to see what our costumes and music would be for recital. My heart was broken when I found out the studio was closing because that had been my second home and second family for years. I will truly miss the dance factory and everything it has done for me! The dance factory gave me a chance to express my sassy self on stage and I’ll never find a place my heart has loved more. It was an amazing 11 years 🤍”
