Awards & Accolades

We love to IGNITE our dancers confidence and tell their story! Here is what people are saying about working with Ignite Dance Connections:

"....multiple people a day would come up to us at UDA Nationals freaking out about our STM costumes.  They were exactly what I wanted them to be. Thank you for working with me!"

Jenny Matthews

Coach of STM St.Thomas More Sparklers

 

"My daughter's solo costume was out of this world gorgeous. The 3D appliqué, lace, and silk gatherings reminded me of couture bridal fashion. And, the fit was like a glove."

- Anne Ripple

Mother of Soloist Dancer

 

"Love the products.  Love the innovative and different design elements.  LOVE the samples coming DONE and with stoning directions!"

- Tracy Standal

Owner of The Dance Warehouse
