COMPARISON CHART
The Evolve Difference: Growing Strong, Confident Kids Through Dance
Dance offers so much more than exercise. It supports your child’s overall growth by developing the body, mind, and spirit. Explore how our Level 1 Kids Dance Classes compare with traditional sports, and see why dance provides a balanced path to learning, confidence, and creativity.
TRADITIONAL KIDS SPORTS
Less Focus on Holistic Development
Many sports emphasize physical performance but often miss opportunities to nurture creativity, emotional intelligence, and character development.
Risk of Exclusion
In team-based sports, less-experienced players may receive limited attention or playing time, which can lead to discouragement and lower motivation.
Emphasis on Competition
While competition can teach valuable lessons, too much focus on winning can make participation feel stressful rather than fun.
Limited Personalized Guidance
Large teams often make it difficult for coaches to offer individualized instruction, which can slow personal growth and confidence-building.

My daughter has been taking classes with Evolve since she was 4 years old and I can’t express how amazing it has been. Not only are the classes perfectly structured but the environment is positive, encouraging, and fun! She has shown so much growth under the instruction of Miss Karley. We can’t recommend this studio enough.
Elizabeth Stotts
I have been taking Evolve adult dance classes for three years and it has been amazing! Tap, jazz, contemporary, and hip hop are offered for adults weekly. The classes are challenging but accessible to beginners. The community of adult dancers is really supportive too. It’s a great learning environment.

Big bonus is it's easy to get to on a main road in Lakeville. Parking in back.
Facility is daily large inside with the entry and main room being notably large with sufficient seating and space for guardians/parents to wait. Very clean and bright inside.
Andrea seems to be friendly with the kids and parents alike!

My daughters absolutely love Miss Karley at Evolve Dance Center. It was their first year dancing and we will definitely be going back next season. My girls can't wait!
Heather Watson
I have been going to Evolve since 2023 and my girls absolutely love it. The atmosphere is so fun and friendly. I’ve loved watching my girls gain new confidence and friendships. Highly recommend!
Devyn Cardoza
Karley and her team are amazing. My three-year-old started halfway through the dance season and felt super nervous to start. Her dance teachers were patient and made her feel comfortable while she warmed up to everyone. She now loves dance class and everyone at the studio. The communication was flawless and the recital went so smoothly. We will be returning this fall for another season!
R BJ
Evolve Dance Center is simply amazing! My 5-year-old has been doing ballet, tap, and jazz there, and it's been a truly wonderful experience. The variety of styles keeps her engaged, and the instructors do an incredible job of teaching technique in a way that's both effective and enjoyable for young children. The studio has such a warm, positive, and inclusive vibe. It's clear they genuinely care about their students. So glad we found Evolve!
Choose the one that best reflects your personal experience!
Laura White
Evolve Dance Center is a great dance studio! My daughter has been dancing here for 3 seasons and she has displayed exceptional growth in this short amount of time. The studio itself has also displayed positive changes and improvements in expanding all endeavors. Each teacher we have worked with has shown proficiency, support and has always created a pleasant environment. When I asked my daughter how she would describe her dance experience she told me it was exciting but also sad when each season comes to an end. We strongly recommend Evolve Dance Center to anyone looking to begin a new dance journey or strengthen and advance their current skills.
Carey Damon-Aleman
My family and I found Evolve at a point where my daughter was about to give up on dance. We were at an established studio a few towns over, and the huge class sizes/lack of instruction were making it not enjoyable.
As a dancer myself for nearly 20 years, I have interacted with many instructors/owners. Ms. Karley is the absolute best mix of kind, organized, and meticulous. She doesn't allow her dancers to settle for anything less than their best. My daughter went 3 years without ever being corrected on her mistakes, and Ms. Karley/Ms. Andrea are so patient while showing her the proper way to hold and move her body.
Ms. Karley sends a weekly e-mail update and records and posts the videos for her dancers to practice and improve their skills prior to their next class. Everything is digital, including payments/invoices, which is great for busy parents. Also, while not expected by any means, she usually replies immediately to all questions, whether it be through text or e-mail.
I would highly recommend Evolve to both new and experienced dancers. I feel so lucky that we've found Ms. Karley's studio within her second year of opening, and we look forward to growing along with it.
Amy Szpala
I am very happy to have found Evolve Dance Center! I am now apart of the adult dance program. it's been a while since I have danced. Miss Karley and the other ladies were very welcoming.

Added Benefits That Help Young Dancers Thrive
