ACI DANCE provides a quality dance education in a supportive community that extends from the teachers and staff through the dancers and families. It’s a safe space, and it’s a true environment of diversity and inclusion. Dancers on the competition team are also given “sisters”, pairing together older and younger dancers which builds teamwork, and mentoring opportunities. My daughter has thrived in this environment, gaining skills, strength and confidence each year, as well as making invaluable friendships.

"My daughter, age 15, loves ACI Dance. It is her second home. The atmosphere created by Miss Marisa and her staff is one of hard work, caring, fun, freedom, and most of all, profound inspiration. Every dancer is important here; each one is celebrated for the unique gifts that he or she brings to the group. My daughter feels loved and supported at this studio, She, in turn, is giving the opportunity to share her love of dance with the younger students as a student teacher. This fosters a feeling of studio unity between the older and younger students. As a Mom, I am so happy to see my daughter joyful to attend dance classes, and it is truly amazing to watch her grow as a competitive dancer under Marisa and her team's creating teaching. I confidently recommend this studio to any young dancer who wans to learn dance in a stress free environment and grow prolifically in his/her craft while doing it!

“My daughter has been going to ACIDANCE for 2 years and absolutely loves it! She takes ballet, gymnastics, tap, jazz and hip hop. Ms. Marisa is a wonderful teacher and spends a lot of time helping all of her students succeed. She puts on a wonderful holiday show that all her students enjoy participating in. In addition to this, she also puts on a spectacular end of the year recital for them. She has been such a great influence on my daughter as have all of her other instructors that help out. I honestly don’t know how Ms. Marisa does it all but she proves that her students and her dance studio are her top priority. ACIDANCE is the best dance studio around!”

“My two daughters dance at ACI  and I couldn’t be happier with this dance studio. The teachers are fantastic. They  put the dancers first and there truly is no doubt they care for their students not only as dancers but as young women. Both my girls have become better dancers, have grown in confidence and have  made great friends at ACI .  It truly is a wonderful dance family.”

“We are so lucky to have our little girl being raised at ACI Dance! She broke out of her Shell - the first season we started. She has made friends, loves to dance, competes on stage, is cared for by the teachers and has amazing older students to look up to - all the reasons and then some for why we stayed!

“This school has been great for my daughter. The owner, Marisa, is wonderful and her student teachers are great. I love that the owner is still very involved with her students and is very personable for parents to speak to directly. Highly recommend!”

-Laura Stupi, 2021

Ms. Marisa is absolutely wonderful! She has not only helped my little dancer grow, but also takes the time to really get to know each of her dancers. We love our experience at ACI!

"When my daughter started ACIDANCE, I was really hesitant because we had a bad experience prior. The way I was reassured that I won't experience any of my prior issues, I said we would give it a shot. I'm so glad we did. We have been with the studio for 4+ years. My daughter has advanced in so many areas and is now on the competition team as as well as a student teacher. ACIDANCE is not just dance for us. It's a place we call family. We love how comfortable and confident she is when dancing. A part of that is because the teachers and owner help her to feel that way. The kids are friendly to each other. I am also thankful that it is also affordable . WE LOVE ACIDANCE!"

-Tiffany Trowell, 2023

“My daughter just finished her first year at ACIDANCE and absolutely loved it. Having a very shy personality she became so comfortable with Marisa and looked forward to dance class each and every week. She learned a lot, made new friends and above all had a lot of fun! Looking forward to another fun year ahead!”

-Brittney Arroyo, 2019

“I can’t say enough about ACIDANCE! Marisa is amazing and has the patience of an angel! This past season was my daughters first and she absolutely loved it. Marisa genuinely cares for all her students. We can’t wait to continue!”
