Testimonial

Our girls’ success is 100% a result of all the love, support and training SBA has provided.

Sherwood High School’s POM coach as well as Poolesville HS Coach were so impressed at how they each supported each other despite the competition. Our coach was so impressed on how far some of the girls traveled just to go to SBA. 

Every judge’s feedback was about how well the girls are trained…which is a direct result of their dance instructors and the studio that raised them

So thank you SBA and I urge more kids to come to SBA for the same reason we joined. SBA students bring the best talent and heart to whatever competition floor they land on!!!!
