Testimonials

  • “Our girls grew up dancing with Carla at Dance Fusion NW. Their experiences have given them not only a positive self image, but also taught them how to give back to the community through the expression of dance. Thank you!”
  • “We joined the Dance Fusion Family in the spring of 2015, yet it seems like we have been dancing with them longer. There is a culture that draws in not only the dancers, but the families. Carla has surrounded herself with an amazing group of instructors. Together they have created a safe environment that not only fosters creative expression through movement and performance, but also challenges the students to commit to their art.”
  • “What a great move it was to join this studio! Not only do I have a very happy and flourishing dancer, but a new family, too. Carla and her incredible staff teach that grace comes both from the body and the soul. Super balance between fun and learning.”
  • “My 9 year old shuffle-ball-steps her way through the day, twirls in the checkout line and chasses to the bus! Thank you for the incredible role models & opportunity. We Love You!”
  • “Dance Fusion offers a very personalized experience for each child. Our son was the only boy in his class (Tap and Jazz Combo) and never felt like the odd one out. He has been challenged and encouraged, and never once has he lamented that he is the only boy. For our children, the highlight of the year is the June Performance. The quality of this performance speaks to the Dance Fusion culture of strong work ethic, passion, and undying love of performance arts. Our son and daughter have developed a love and a passion for the performing arts and Dance Fusion ignited it.”
  • “Dance Fusion provides and amazing environment for dancers to grow. Carla and all the staff create a feeling of creativity, encouragement & technical training that combines for a powerful experience as a student.”
  • “There is so much more that happens at DFNW beyond the instruction of dance. DFNW is a place where life lessons are learned. The experiences our daughter, Chloe, has had at this studio have challenged her in a way that her confidence and stage presence have increased beyond what we could have ever imagined. Chloe has benefited from top-notch instructors who not only believed in her, but were so invested and inspiring that they have had a life-changing effect. As a parent, I feel this invaluable sense of community and support amongst our many amazing DFNW families. Carla Kendall-Bray puts her heart into making her studio a positive, professional, encouraging environment to explore dance and for that, we are so truly thankful!”
