I have been taking dance from Estelle Jones School of Dance since 1997. Miss Cathy is a true professional who takes dance instruction seriously while making it fun for everyone. The annual recital is the highlight of my year.

Taking an adult Ballet class with my daughter is my favorite hour of the day! Didn't plan on being in the recital, but I am so happy I did. Can't wait for next year! Thank you Ms Cathy!

My 12 year old daughter is entering her 10th year at Estelle Jones School of Dance. The school has been around for 50+ years and has always been top notch. Miss Cathy does a great job with her students. Did I fail to mention my sister took from this school for 15 years in the 70's and 80's. True Family Values!!
