“My two daughters attended GUS’ Jazz Intensive and absolutely loved it! They both finished each day saying how much fun they are having and that they are learning so much about technique. The staff have been professional and informative every step of the way. We highly recommend GUS! Thank you for giving my daughters a summer dance experience they will always remember!”
“My daughter had an AMAZING experience at GUS® Jazz Intensive…. The choreographers, teachers and GUS staff are wonderful. Everyone made us feel welcome and she learned a TON in one week. I was blown away by the performances at the end of the week and LOVED to see ALL of the levels and classes perform. We will be back. I am a studio owner myself in Tennessee (Concordia Arts Academy) and HIGHLY recommend GUS® for EXCELLENCE in dance training!!!”
