Happy Parents Share Their Experiences!!

Within a few seconds of every single video it is obvious how much passion and love you have for dance. I am not personally a dancer, yet I found it easy (and so much fun!) to join in and dance around with my kids. I can see the benefit of this program for family and friends for many different reasons. One friend is going to medical school and has limited time. My sister has 3 yo twins with a lot of energy, but is not always able to take them out of the house for classes. Not to mention that your model provides affordable services, normally priced much higher due to overhead costs.

The online courses offered at Joyful Heart Dance are a blast! For the first few minutes only grandma and I were up dancing, but very soon after my kids joined in (girl 5, boys 8 & 13) and we moved seamlessly through the website. They offer an inspiring range of courses, covering all ages and genders. I was able to find multiple classes for all three of my kids, as well as a few options for myself. One of my favorites is the party dance series, perfect for everyone together! The price is right for a full access, incredibly convenient, whole family online course. Ms. Amanda is a gem, delivering an outstanding experience full of passion for dance and movement!

I love the fitness videos with Amanda! The fact that she incorporates a short bible study at the beginning of them is amazing, and I’ve never come across fitness videos that are God centered. I know there’s so many moms that don’t get the opportunity to get out and have that bible study with friends during certain seasons of their lives or you just like to stay home, so with this you get filled with Jesus and get a workout in with praise music out of your own home. Amanda’s wonderful and I know you’ll love it!

We really enjoy participating in the Joyful Heart online dance program. As a mom of 3 young boys, who often finds herself pulled in so many different directions, this is such a great opportunity to try a variety of dance and movement styles from the comfort of our living room. 

There is plenty to choose from (even fitness dance for the mamas!) and everyone can jump in and give it a try! Ms. Amanda does a great job of clearly breaking down the steps and even has some “big kid” helpers at times, which my boys really found fun. This online program is really a unique opportunity for exposure to dance of all types and to see what peaks my kids’ interests. They have really enjoyed it and have asked to “do it again”! It has been a great opportunity to explore the dance and movement side of the arts in a fun way and I would highly recommend it to any family who is looking for a quality dance and movement program!

With so many dance studios out there, who may or may not exercise sound judgment in the type of music, style of costumes, or even the dance moves themselves that the kids are subjected to, it’s refreshing to find a studio and program that honors God and teaches students movement and dance in a way that shows respect for them and those around them.

I worked at a Ballet Theater Department at a University. I saw what took place there. Even though I want my kids to experience and learn the formality of Ballet with posture and grace, I was scared for the ballet culture for my kids. My kids won’t have the ballet body. So when I read your dance philosophy I was happy that it is in line with my family values!

The program is affordable for my family!

Our family including grandma had fun doing the online classes together! At first my children were shy. We kept dancing and soon everyone had joined in and was having fun! I’m recommending the program to my sister!

My children love Ms. Amanda! They will do anything she does! They are so engaged! This really says something because they are shy! I love the classes and the inspiration!

I love the focused time of prayer and inspiration. My 13 yr old daughter and I do the fitness class. This is great for busy moms who struggle to make it to the gym or to Bible study. You get fitness and get to hear Scripture too! This is so different than how fitness is usually done with people half dressed. This is so refreshing!!

 We got a group of my daughter’s teen friends together and they did the classes! One girl is a dancer and said, this is so fun! For homeschool and traveling families- this can be your PE!

This program is especially great when it’s too hot or too cold to be outside moving around! I love that my shy and self conscious child can do this at home without anyone watching! We have no dance background and he really likes it! We live on the outskirts of a big city where it would take 45 mins each way to drive to a class. This program is perfect for us because we do not need to travel! My son learned the chasse’ step and has been saying the step and doing it all around the house!

We love Joyful Heart Dance Online! I like the variety and flexibility! Whenever it fits into the day I can turn it on and do dance class! 

 Mom of 3 in Glendale, AZ

We are pleased with this online format! It works well for our family! One daughter is shy and wants to do the program 2 -3 times a week. She is my shy quiet one. She takes the Ipad and goes into a room where no one can see her. I have peace of mind she isn’t seeing God knows what on youtube. This Online Dance Program allows her to do something creative which makes me happy! 

Mom of 3 girls in Peoria

For us, this program is better than a studio. My child is glued to me and doesn’t like crowds or to do things by himself. I like the fact that we can do this together as a family!

My son tends to be very shy! He is like his mom and doesn’t really do well with crowds or group events. They make him anxious and overwhelmed. If I tried to take him to a physical dance class, things would not go well. I’m very appreciative of the opportunity that Amanda has given us. Having dance classes online is allowing my son to try something new that he wouldn’t have wanted to do in a different setting. Thank you!

So much fun! You will learn correct dance steps, terms and form at your own convenience. My family loves doing these classes all together. Even my toddler follows along with the older siblings.

These classes are fun, clean and convenient.

It’s a great resource for military families! Especially when resources are so low


Our daughter J is showing the family how we can overflow with thankfulness. Thank YOU for teaching her positive values during dance!

JD- Mother of a Dancer

All 3 of my kiddos participate in the Online class and love it! My little one, (just turned 3) loves dancing. She is obsessed with the American girl movie, Isabelle takes the spotlight, and had learned some of the moves to their "bff dance". Since your last class she has been pretending to be a mama and teaching her "kids" (any onlooker) to chasse’ and pencil spin.

Even my son loves it. Idk if you remember, but he's a wiggly boy with lots of energy, and the class keeps his attention well. We have not had our oldest in dance since she's been with you, although she has wanted to be... She's always trying to choreograph her own dances and get her friends involved, so she was so eager to have class with you again I had no idea how it would all work, but it was easy enough to figure out. The process went very well. In general, the class was nice for me because I was finishing up my planning for teaching the next day and the kiddos were completely occupied. My husband and I periodically checked in with them as the class went on.

Miss Amanda's dance class is wonderful! She is kind and really understands young children. I highly recommend Joyful Heart especially to the beginning dancer, because dancing should be FUN, and at Joyful Heart it is.

My daughter was telling me today she's working on being thankful. She "wants her cup to overflow" like teacher Amanda Kelley taught her. So much more than just a ballet class!!!

Jen Carillo

My three year old daughter loves Miss Amanda and her ballet class. She not only gets excited for each class but she also spends the rest of the week dancing and talking all about it. It’s been a perfect blend of proper form and terminology mixed in with a casual, encouraging environment that continues to foster her sense of success. I’ve already witnessed a good amount of growth and confidence, and the sense of pride she exhibits after she’s mastered something new is priceless! We are so happy to have found this program.

Stephanie Starks

My daughter is enrolled in Joyful Heart’s dance class. She has loved to sing and dance since the moment she was born. It was important to us that we found a studio that could grow her love for dance in a respectful and modest way. We found these qualities in Miss Amanda’s class. Our daughter loves exploring dance with Miss Amanda and the atmosphere is indeed joyful! Our little dancer is learning new skills in a positive way that nurtures both her self-esteem and talent.
