“The Joy of Dance program is exceptional. Marilyn Baird and her other instructors are fabulous. Her program is beautifully done with a special loving touch that Ms. Baird and her staff excel in.”

“Personally, I had the privilege of studying with Marilyn as a dance student. Later, I pursued her expertise in the field of dance education. After in depth research, I sought to implement her program in my dance studio of 600 students, DanceWorks Conservatory in Leawood, KS. Her program is unrivaled in this area. Fortunately, ‘Joy of Dance’ is a program that can leave the dance studio and be just as effective ‘on the road’. Marilyn’s quality of instruction is unparalleled. I am in awe of her abilities.”

“Joy of Dance is fantastic! Students are happily learning dance in a comfortable environment while they are engaged in physical development, concept building, and acquiring a variety of fun dance techniques. The uniforms are adorable, the recitals are priceless and the parents are very satisfied!”

The students that are enrolled in the program absolutely love participating each Monday. They love to go back to class and show their friends each position or move they learn. I am very impressed with the knowledge these ladies have retained over the weeks and have heard excellent feedback from the families.”
