Such an amazing school, it’s like a second home to me. Everyone is so incredibly kind and involved in helping each other. There are kid and adult classes, which are both equally fun and engaging. I’ve been going for almost 9 years and it has helped me gain confidence, learn respect, self discipline and overall just grow as a person :) 1000% would recommend!!

My daughter loves it- she looks forward to the instructor Mr. Giroux. He is very patient and great with the kids. An instant role model.

We just completed a 2 week trial and signing up was an easy decision. The instructors are great - they operate on gentle coaching with a side of humor; entertaining for both kids and parents watching in the gallery area. They're currently allowing kids to do 10 hours of reading for a red star on their robes. I love the incentive and the added push for good behaviors, which tends to mean more when it isn't coming from a parent.
