Actually, there are a number of things, such as:
* Deborah Messinger School of Dance in Gresham OR, Off-Broadway Dance Academy in Ridgefield WA, Deborah Messinger Dance Academy in Camas/Washougal WA and now Deborah Messinger Dance Academy-Rock Creek in Stevenson WA offer highly qualified, professional dance instruction in a family-oriented, warm, loving, fun atmosphere for boys and girls ages 3 years through adult. Plus, we offer a class for the "just walking" to three-year old titled "Movement to Music for Mommy & Me".
* We offer children's combination classes such as "Ballet/Tap/Tumbling" for our young ones, and many "back-to-back" classes for our older students, so they can get a sampling of several forms of dance in order to see what they'll really like.
* We allow parents to observe classes whenever they wish. Each classroom is designed with viewing windows and we have a parent/student lounge area as well.
* We offer classes for beginners through professionals as well as private instruction. Our classes are designed for students who come to us for fun, exercise and recreation, as well as for the serious, career-minded dance student.
* Ask us about a discount if you take multiple classes, or enroll a sibling. We even give special discount rates to parents of our students who wish to take one of our adult classes!
* We have a low student-teacher ratio. If a children's class gets large, we have a classroom assistant for the teacher.
* We have injury-preventing sprung floating wood floors in all our classrooms.
* Our teachers are all very loving & positive people who love what they do.
