Reviews of Shannon O'Brien School of Dance (Dance School)

Kyle Doire

My little girl has been going here for a year now and she absolutely loves it!!

Fundamentals are the focus at SOSD. Learning ballet is important to understanding dance theory. Old standards are often used for the musical arrangements. The costumes and dance routines are tasteful for the age of the dancer... SOSD keeps it classy.

Only the BEST teachers, staff, students, facilities, costumes, and recitals. They answer every question, concern and request with consistency and a smile. Perfect balance of pushing students to improve and reminding everyone to relax and ENJOY the process ????

My daughter has been dancing at SOSD since she was 2 years old. She is now 15 years old. She loves to dance and has developed many friendships over the years at this studio. The teachers have always been fabulous and everyone is like one big family. Looking forward to many more years with this studio. It is like a second "home" for the dancers. ☘️

Brette Chartier

I danced at this studio for 16 years, and then continued to teach after I graduated high school. The staff is amazing and welcoming. Everyone is treated like family at this studio and I’m glad I grew up with the SOSD family

My daughter danced for SOSD for 16 years. I can honestly say that no other studio compares in regards to price, professionalism and dance education.

Going into my 10th year. Always a wonderful experience for my girls!! Fantastic teachers who love what they do. And you can tell :))

Katie Kearns

My daughter has been taking classes with Shannon and her amazing group of teachers for 6 years. Everyone is wonderful and always upbeat and positive. My daughter has made lots of new friends and her confidence and coordination have increased dramatically. She loves to have a place to be expressive and creative!

I highly recommend Shannon O'Brien School of Dance for anyone looking to enroll their child in dance classes!! I danced as a recreational dancer at SOSD for 10 years. Shannon, Julie, and every other staff member always made me feel welcome. It was so much fun to be a dancer in this school, I've gone back to volunteer during recital weekend for the last 5 years. It is something I always look forward to and I love to see the beautiful, smiling faces of every dancer.

I am not an expert on dancing, but it doesn't take an expert to appreciate an excellent production. The quality of the dance numbers, the efficiency of the show production, and the total professionalism of the recital was outstanding. It's obvious to see why Shannon and Julie have been in business for 25 years.

Devon Larcher

Was welcomed into this amazing studio years into my training and have felt at home ever since! They train educated, technical, and humble dancers, something that is hard to find in the dance community. Best studio around

Erin Martin

Love this dance studio. I was at a studio for two years with my daughter prior to this dance school... and what a huge difference. Both of my girls absolutely love their teachers and love coming to dance. They are professional but personable and you will discover shortly after signing up and getting a little involved , that you are suddenly apart of the sosd family and there is a great bond. There is a lot of love shared amongst teachers, dancers and parents.

Holly Flodin

Talented, professional, genuinely welcoming and devoted are just a few of the words I can describe the entire staff at this studio. My sister and I travel 40 minutes to this studio weekly, past dozens of others cause in our experience, no others can compare. :-) Grateful to watch my daughter grow up with such amazing role models.

I began dancing for this studio at its opening 25 years ago. I have seen this studio from every side; as a dancer, member of the staff, backstage crew, audience member, and will be shortly seeing it as a parent of a dancer. In every way this studio is run professionally, but most importantly by caring owners and staff. I cannot recommend this studio enough! If you want a high quality dance education, kindhearted teachers, life-long friends for your children, and an experience that is more like family, then you have found the right place!

Amanda DaSilva

I highly recommend SOSD! It is so much more than a dance school. The entire staff is amazing. When we first enrolled our daughter, she had a hard time. The staff was warm, patient, and encouraging. Their recitals are beautifully done, an event for the whole family.

Katherine Zabbo

My daughter began at this studio to try dance out. She absolutely loves it. The staff all know her name when she walks into the studio. They include everyone in the recital even the smallest children. I have recommended this to others and will continue to so.

Danielle Silva-Powell

My daughter has been a Shannon O’Brien dancer for 13 years. Her experiences at this studio have been positive, empowering and uplifting. They genuinely care for each and every student and are willing to work with all families to make their dance experience a wonderful one. I can not express in words how much we love each and every teacher.

Kimberly Hollen

We couldn't be happier with SOSD!!! Love being a part of the SOSD family❤️❤️❤️( even with the 50 minute commute)

Michelle Boudreau

My daughter started dancing for Shannon when she was four years old ...fast forward 25 years later and she is now one of the teachers! ,she has been with this school from the beginning and has learned so much and has made lifelong friends here,this is so much more than a dance school.. it is family!

Scott Sisbarro

Clean, family-like atmosphere, individual attention, top notch education for dance.

Do NOT bring your kids here. They will screw you and offer a makeshift apology. All was well and good until the dress rehersal/recital. I am a single father, I had to find two women to inconvience because they REQUIRE a female be backstage with my daughter for both different dates. Now I have to buy an ADDITIONAL ticket for me to go, because the $75 ticket was for the "mom". So right now I am $300 deep and I still have to break out the wallet again to go. No mention of this previously either. Grab your ankles and smile!
