Where young dancers can train fearlessly, discover their potential and through their art, give back to the community.
My daughter loves going to Extensions, and as a parent when you want the best for your daughter, you seek out the best teachers. The studio is beautiful and everyone there is extremely nice and welcoming. Lizzie MacKenzie is one of THE top choreographers in the Midwest and is an excellent teacher.
