"I wanted to take the time to thank both you & Scott for all your effort in running Issaquah Dance Theatre.  It is simply a wonderful school and brings such pleasure to so many dancers...you are a gifted couple and I think that you are making an important contribution to many young lives - providing them with a happy, healthy and exciting environment where they can learn, develop friendships and DANCE!  I am sure that many of your students will carry memories of these happy and positive times for years to come...how lucky for us all that you created IDT!" ~MG

"When I was told I would never dance professionally and that my body wouldn't allow me to go far in dance, I was ready to quit. I wanted to hang up my pointe shoes and never see a leotard or hairnet for the rest of my life... But, leaving that place and coming here was the best thing that ever happened to me. I knew as soon as I started dancing here two years ago that this was a special place. It is so different from any school I have ever been... I look forward to coming to class every day. There is just something about this place that makes me feel alive and like I belong. When I am at dance I feel like nothing matters but the moment I am living in right that instant. Thanks for creating a place I can find passion, pursue it, and appreciate it. I don't think I will ever be able to thank you enough for everything IDT has done for me. You showed me the real joy in dance, which is something I will carry with me my entire life, no matter where it takes me."     ~Letter from IDT Student

 “Our children LOVE to dance and have enjoyed many years of excellent dance instruction and fun from IDT. The classes are well-matched to the age/skill level of children they are for and the productions have always been for our children a happy, joyful time to celebrate and showcase skills learned throughout the year in a team atmosphere. Keep up the great work IDT!” ~JW

"I appreciate you and IDT for all that you do for my shy, quiet daughter. You provide such a warm, caring, SAFE place for her to grow and develop self-confidence. We look forward to being involved with your studio and future performances for many more years. You are just WONDERFUL!!!! Thank you!!!!! ~MW

Thank You!! The show(s) on Saturday were fantastic!! The good nature, warmth, energy and love of dance is very evident in all of you ~ I can see why the kids love to dance at the studio. My daughter is so glad we found your studio (me too!!) ~M

Thank you all for all of your hard work to make the recital happen. My daughter loved it, and it was so fun for all of us to watch. We really enjoyed seeing all of you teachers dance too!!! You have a very quality program at your studio. We look forward to coming back to your studio for future classes. Sincerely, ~C

Dear IDT Staff: Thank you for the wonderful, absolutely, delightful performance this past weekend. The show at noon went sooooooo smoothly and the dancers were outstanding. There is so much talent at IDT the cosmic sound barrier was shaking (and dancing) for joy. Hugs to all! ~C


Thank you for another wonderful dance production. All of your hard work and dedication really show through at these performances. Thanks again for all you do! ~E

 I just want to thank you for putting on such a beautiful production today... I have to tell you how impressed I was with the incredible choreography, beautiful costumes and the classiness of the dancers. I was so proud of my daughter and she was so thrilled to be a part of something that was so well done. We also loved the part where all of the teachers came out and danced. I know it must have been a huge amount of work to make this happen and I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated it. ~L


At just 6 months, Schae is a little bundle of charm and smiles. The woman behind the man? Mommy of course. Mom is Alicia owner of Issaquah Dance Theatre where my oldest daughter spends every Saturday morning gleefully dancing tap and ballet. For those of you with budding performers and little princesses of your own in the house....IDT is fantastic. ~ Brooke Clark, Owner and Talented Photographer of Studio B Portraits in Issaquah
