Testimonials & Reviews

I didn’t know the things I learned dancing as a child would stay with me my whole life and help me so much in my professional career. I’m still seeing the benefits in my posture and presentation skills! I’m so happy I can now provide this education to my daughter as well.

— Dorothy Laymon

I love that my daughter begs to go to dance class and she leaves class with a big smile. I enjoy the musical appreciation and the body control that she is learning while she is gaining confidence. I cannot wait for fall classes.

— Kelly Block Williams

My daughter started there at the tender age of four and is so in love with dance today at 15 years old because of what CODC has taught her over the years. Thank you CODC for offering such a beautiful art form to our children and providing the wonderful, knowledgeable teachers!

— Jodi Muscarella Blohme

In her first year of dance our daughter gained a love of dance, a sense of pride in her accomplishments, a sense of discipline and appreciation for the arts, coordination, and a boost in self-esteem. We love that both the classes and the recital costumes are age-appropriate. The girls don’t even realize how much they are learning and gaining because they are so busy having fun and making friends. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait for the next semester to begin. Our daughter has been dancing non-stop since her first class began. It warms my heart to catch her in front of a mirror practicing her steps.

— Jennifer Stacy Drinkard

My Jade has been going to Creative Outlet for two years now and is always super excited when it’s time to go. I am in awe of the teachers here. The patience they show and the creativity in the learning techniques are amazing. Jade can’t wait for her third year to start up. We absolutely love Creative Outlet!

— April D. Brown

The best thing about classes at Creative Outlet… the teachers, hands down! They are so patient, kind, creative. My daughter saw me watching [a recent recital] video, saw her most favorite Ms. Madi, and her face lit up like a Christmas tree.

— Christy Long Pumphrey

My six year old has loved dancing at Creative Outlet! The teachers are great and supportive. The entire staff encourages the kids and creates loving atmosphere. This is such an amazing studio. My little one has built strength, balance and a love for dance.

— Mary Beth Nelson

I love how positive and helpful everyone is at Creative Outlet. They create such a sweet, peaceful atmosphere. Mollie Katen was always so excited to go to ballet class and show off what she learned at home. We had mini-recitals about once a week.

— Mary Kathryn Bishop

I studied at Creative Outlet growing up, became a professional dancer and worked all over the country, and you’d better believe if I still lived in Fairhope my daughter would study here. I cannot say enough great things about this studio and its dance instructors.

— Liz Golson

Love Creative Outlet Dance Center and what they stand for. Quality teaching and traditional values/dress for our kids.

— Brooke Butler  

Loved my 15 years at Creative Outlet and cannot wait for my daughters to start Creative Ballet next month! So excited to share this special studio with them.

— Brooks Morgan Chew

In a world where young people are often pushed to extremes, the staff at Creative Outlet strikes the right balance between discipline of the dancer and freedom of expression.

— Dorothy Savage

A staple to life in Fairhope. I’ve lived here all my life and Creative Outlet has been here as long as I remember. So happy that all our little ones have such a great place to express themselves through dance.

— Trey Fellers

We love so many things about Creative Outlet… but especially that the classes are a fun learning environment and don’t put too much pressure on the kids. The teachers are awesome too!

— Ashley Sievering 

My daughter will be starting her 3rd year with Creative Outlet in the fall. Her dance experience with the wonderful staff and teachers has given her such great confidence and joy.

— April D Brown

Creative Outlet has been a wonderful addition to our family’s activities. Ms. Gina and Ms. Madi have helped my four year-old love ballet even more. She has made friends and so have I. My nine year-old son really enjoyed hip hop lessons last year with Mr. Nick and it was a great change and break from sports.

— Melanie Longanacre LeCroy

As a grandmother of a Creative Dance Outlet ballerina, I was so impressed to see her first recital in May. Creative Dance Studio has done an awesome job with all of these dancers, but especially my little one, Myla.

— Ann Frecker

Three reasons I love Creative Outlet Dance Center: One, because of their history in Fairhope. I love telling someone we take dance at CODC and get a reply of “oh, I grew up dancing there & loved Ms. Gina!” Two, because of the love & patience the teachers have for their students (namely Miss Madi). Three, because they have the best dance recital! So organized & well run!

— Mona Schoenrock

I love that my daughter can learn ballet from the same people that taught so many of my friends. This is another way to support downtown Fairhope and keep our city special.

— Bunky Bishop

We love our dance studio! Thank you so much Ms. Madi for a great year of dance! We look forward to starting again this year!

— Hannah Little

Although I loved seeing my daughter dance at CODC for 10 years, what I love best about it is the age-appropriate dance classes even for someone 70 years old (that’s me)!

— Suzanne S Barnhill

Love love love dancing at Creative Outlet! All the teachers are very dedicated to each student and take their time with all of them. They are truly amazing people and I’m glad to have spent the few years I did at this studio.

— Kayla Burgess

As a professional in the performance field, I have found that Creative Outlet strikes the perfect notes between technique and fun for young dancers seeking to find their voice in dance.
