“My daughter has danced at TLDS for over 3 years and has loved every minute of it! She just finished her first year on the Main Attraction which has been her dream since she was little. We enjoy being a part of the TLDS family!! The girls and moms are so kind and inclusive. The teachers are amazing and always creative with costumes  and choreography and push the girls to be their best. Tammie is so organized. As a busy mom I love the calendar she gives for the year at class registration so we know all the important dates and info ahead of time. We are blessed to dance at TLDS!”

“We love Tammie Locklars Dance Studio! Our daughter, Camila, started taking classes three years ago and has had an absolute wonderful experience! We’ve seen so much growth over the years and are so impressed with the strong foundation in dance they have helped build for her. Tammie loves the kids like her own and we truly feel like family in there! All of the dance instructors are talented and amazing teachers! We’ve also met life-long friends along the way! TLDS is hands down, the best dance studio in town!”

“My daughter is 15 and has been taking dance at Tammie Locklar’s Dance Studio since she was 4. She has not only found a love and a talent for dancing, but she has also found a group of teachers and friends that are supportive and encouraging. She loves spending time at the studio practicing her routines and improving her skills. Dance has given her confidence and increased athleticism. It is mentally challenging as well as physically challenging. The lessons and skills she has acquired at TLDS have helped her in other areas of her life. The ability to learn choreography, the confidence to perform in front of others, and the desire to do her best have benefited her in many ways. We are so grateful for Tammie and the other dance teachers. They pour into their students daily.”
