Dion is a neurodivergent only child with food allergies, in her 1st year of school so naturally I was very hesitant about everything, including her interest in dance class. Her 1st dance experience was through the class EIM ballet and hip hop dance class offered through Evansdale Elementary with Ms. Kimberly and I have nothing but praise for this program. The company is professional, reasonably priced and accommodating. Instructors practice empowerment and positive discipline, are well organized and communicate effectively. Space is made for parent involvement. Whitney is so kind, she has genuine heart for children and her passion for nurturing a love of dance and music is evident in her business practices. Dion's confidence has blossomed, she is learning the importance of hard work, consistency, both self discipline and regulation, as well as committment. She has learned so many of the fundamentals of dance, and free styles as soon as she hears any beat drop. Dancing has helped strengthen her working memory, her gross and fine motor skills. Working with a team has improved her social skills, and gives her an outlet to creatively express herself in an environment that welcomes her high energy and excitement. I am so grateful for EIM and look forward to Dion's continued growth and development as we remain loyal members of the EIM dance community!
