I loved everything about training at Excite. I trained at Excite for 13 years and it continues to positively evolve and offer every student so many valuable and inspiring opportunities. At Excite we were so blessed with the most educated and incredible teachers/mentors who have guided me in my training of dance, tumbling and cheer. Not only the training, but the environment at Excite is so nurturing and everyone radiates so much loving and positive energy towards each other.

Growing up at Excite, I had the incredible opportunity to assist in teaching—an experience that shaped much of what I know about being an educator. The teachers there, especially Miss Ange, were inspiring mentors whose passion and technique I absorbed just by watching them work. I began by assisting Miss Ange’s hip hop classes, and I’m grateful to still work closely with her today. Her constant drive to evolve as a teacher continues to inspire both her students and me. That mindset—to keep learning and growing—is something I now bring to my own students.

I know I wouldn’t be the person I am today, let alone the dancer and teacher I am today, without Excite.
