Sonshine Academy

Our daughter has been doing gymnastics here since August last year! For the first 5 months it was going really well! We were all loving it! Her coach at that time was giving clear easy to follow instructions along with demonstrations. However, without warning, in January of this year a new coach was assigned to my daughter's group. Our daughter's progress has came to a hault. The current coach doesn't demonstrate or give clear instructions at all. She hasn't been hands on and often times doesn't even help with 1 specific skill. She will just stand back and watch. It gets so chaotic. My husband and I felt as though she was thrown into it without proper training. It's very unfortunate that you are paying for something and they don't seem to care to make sure the coach is truly prepared to teach the children the skills you are paying for. My husband and I decided to wait it out in hopes that the new coach would get better but it didn't get better. After 2 months my husband urged me to reach out. At this point, I've reached out on multiple occasions. After the first email, I was completely ignored for several days. I emailed again and got a response and a promise that I would be contacted by another individual. That has been 2 weeks ago at this point. Our daughter loves gymnastics and we love taking her here but we are very disappointed with how this is being handled and we may have to explore other options if this continues....

Sonshine Academy is a great place for our kiddo. She started doing combination classes when she was little that included gymnastics and dance. She has progressed her dance skills with training in ballet, tap and jazz for several years. The coaching staff are extremely caring and patient teachers. We are very happy to be part of the Sonshine family.

Our youngest has been in Sonshine classes since she was still in diapers. We did the Broadway babies then. She is now in 3rd grade, in dance, and competes with their competition team. Her love of dance grows each year. We love that their studio knows they are kids, and they are dressed in modest outfits for competition and recital.. They pray over these girls before competition. The songs they choose also show they know these are kids. They are age appropriate choices. This is very hard to find in the dance world.

I grew up at the original Sonshine when it opened, and now my daughter has grown up at Sonshine, too. She's learning character qualities like caring for others, being a good friend, self-discipline, and perseverance while learning skills like dance and swim. The teachers are helpful and supportive, and the facility is clean and well maintained. My daughter is in her ninth year at Sonshine, and we can't imagine being anywhere else.

We enrolled our boys in swim lessons at Sonshine Academy this summer. We have been so impressed with how fast each of the boys progressed! Neither had much experience with water and they are both much more comfortable now! They already can't wait for next summer! I highly recommend Sonshine for your kids to get their feet wet :)
