Valerie Brown, Parent of an SDC dancer, on Artistic Director, Nichole Savage:

"In life, you get back what you give.  People respond to you the way you treat them.  I realize that this is your business, but to you, it is more than that, you care, you really care and that is appreciated. 

I am really glad that we found Savage and I do not want you to think for a moment that I, or we, take you for granted. I just want to say thank you and God Bless you.  Your patience and love for the kids is awesome. There are not too many people that one can say has made a difference in their life, so if someone says that about you, then you have done your job.  Well done, Ms. Nikki. We are grateful."

Andrew N. Carpenter, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy, Director, Center for Teaching and Learning, Ellis College of NYIT, on the growth in his daughter:

"Just a quick note to say "thank you" for the superb education that SDC provides to its students -- I see a lot of development in (my daughter) from last year to this one, and the quality you inspire in the older kids is superb."

Cathy Jones, Aunt of a 10-year old student at SDC, on the growth of her niece:

"You don't know me however, I wanted to write to congratulate you and the kids on the job done in Philly this past weekend.

I am {dancer] aunt.  My husband and I travel with her as much as we can.  We love seeing all of the students dance.  I've seen her grow so, so much since she has been studying and dancing with Savage.  She has to remind me "Aunt Cathy, I'm only 10 years old".  That growth is attributed largely to the respect she has for the school and her dedication to dancing.

I will encourge any parents or caregivers with children to seriously consider your school as a place for their children to excel in their goals and dreams.  KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.  God has truly given you talent and a commitment to your students."

Lisa Jones, Parent of SDC dancer, on the studio:

"I too want to echo other parents sentiments about NYCDA.  It was amazing!  Congratulations to you and the staff for all the hard work you pour into the kids.   It really pays off.   I was amazed by all the talent...They were AMAZING!   I am so looking forward to the other competitions.

Thank you for all the support you give.  You must know that we, as well as others, are your human commercials and before you know it, you may have a flood of kids knocking down the Savage Door trying to get in."

Barbara, Parent of SDC male dancer, on the studio:

"What a great studio you have got!  I know [dancer] is so very honored to be a part of it.  Again, I don’t know how many times you hear “thank you” but after having a discussion with [another parent] about the importance of dance in our boy’s lives, I think it is appropriate to say, over and over again, thank you so very much for everything you do! 

The teen years can be such a rocky road for everyone and dance has smoothed the road for so many of us.  So, again, thank you from the bottom of my heart."
