Testimonials

"Natalie and company have helped our daughter grow not only in dance but in daycare and school. Also even when Covid shut down places to have show cases, she & family made a showcase happen at the their own home so the kids could perform and feel good. AWESOME! Thank you and I HIGHLY recommend IDS!"

It’s a great way to meet other dancers, strengthen your technique, increases your flexibility, and you get to have fun while doing it. They have great coaches, and amazing communication."

We love miss Natalie! You can tell how much she loves and is passionate about what she does. She goes above and beyond to communicate very clearly and always make things work for the dancers. Our daughter looks forward to ballet class all week.

Cindy Poll

Studio Manager

Hi, my name is Cindy Poll. I am excited to be the studio manager at IDA. Growing up I danced tap, jazz and ballet. I have raised three dancers which has given me 20+ years of experience with costumes making, backstage managing and competition day madness. In my spare time I like to read a good book, play the piano and take my puppy for long walks. I can't wait to get to know all the amazing dancers and parents at IDA.

Jade Sutera

Instructor

Hi! My name is Jade, I have been dancing for about 7 years. Dance became a passion of mine when taking a dance class in junior high, I grew a strong love for it and have been continuously pushing myself further into it by joining my schools dance company team, drill team, and outside dance classes. Though knowing how to dance is a great skill, I think it is also important to have background knowledge. I am still currently furthering my education in dance, and I have taken Dance 1010, Sports Medicine 1275, Health & Wellness, and TONS of dance clinics/classes. My goal here at IDA is to pass on my passion for dance and health awareness to all the young dancers I get to work with.

Jessica Sheffield

Instructor

Hi! I am Jess Sheffield! I have been married for 15 years and have 4 wonderful children! Music makes me happy, and I can't help but move and groove to every genre of music that turns on. I have taught jazz and hip hop dance for 12 years. I love me a good sassy or intense routine. I am currently a kindergarten teacher at Mountain Shadows Elementary. This is my 15th year in the classroom. My classroom is another happy place for me. I love going overboard (with everything in life), dressing up and doing anything outside with my family. Tacos and ice cream are life.
