Testimonials 

 "Kender is a great encouraging environment where everyone roots for each-others success. Whether it’s completing your first performance or getting a new personal best placement in a competition you have a dance family cheering you on." - Kaitlyn 
​"The Kender kids class was an awesome beginner place to start for my daughter! Miss Rebecca is friendly, a dedicated teacher and is completely positive and supportive of my daughters needs. She has learned so much this first year. We are thrilled with the program and can’t wait for next year!!" - Marla
"Signing up for classes with Kender Academy is the best decision I’ve made all year! Classes are so much fun, everyone is so kind and welcoming, and I look forward to class every week. Miss Rebecca is the best! She is very knowledgeable and a great instructor." - Brenna
"​After dancing as a kid, I never thought at 35 I would come back to a studio and Irish dance again. I am so happy I made the decision to check out Kender Academy and lace up my shoes once again! With Rebecca's guidance and the wonderful community at Kender, I've reclaimed every narrative I held onto that I "wasn't good enough" and have enjoyed so much success and fulfillment as an adult dancer. Getting back to performing & competition has been so much fun, and I've been more successful that I ever dreamed - 3rd in the region & 1st in the nation for my traditional set! I can't thank Rebecca and the Kender Academy family enough for bringing Irish dance back into my life. Can't recommend it enough, to first timers or those who want to return. " - Maddy
