“Over the past eleven years I have watched my daughter go from a shy little 3-year-old to a confident young lady who is ready to take on the world. One of the big influences in her life has been The Southern Strutt. Through caring instructors she has learned what it means to set goals, meet and exceed those goals, and even how to learn when you fail. The Southern Strutt teaches more than just dance. They teach morals, character and teamwork.”
