Great studio! It can be intimidating trying new things as an adult, but the studio has a very welcoming environment and Mr. Daniel is a great vocal instructor! I have improved greatly over the past few months and I am excited to continue lessons. Would recommend!

My heart just swells with so much joy and pride everytime I talk or think about Angela Floyd Performancing Arts PreSchool!!! I can not say enough about how much they have shaped my daughter’s way she learns, process her emotions and expresses them through rhythm, dance, and music! Before my daughter started coming to AFS 3 years ago, she was struggling with aggressive behavior towards classmates and teachers due to her speech impediment! She was asked to leave 2 different daycare facilities for her temperament! I actually enrolled her in AFS preschool hoping to find something to help tire her out and break up her day! HOWEVER, WHAT I GOT WAS HUNDRED TIMES MORE THAN I EVER COULD IMAGINE! I got teachers, staff, and parents that poured into my daughter! She learned her abc’s, French, music notes, ballet, tap, jazz, drama, art pallets, performing in front of large audiences, and so much more! I love the way Mrs. Karen and Mr. Alex has been Sarah’s teachers for all 3 years and the attention and correction they give her. I love the helpful suggestions and recommendations to help Sarah; love them! I love the care and attention Mrs. Debra shows us parents! When I voiced that I loved the program, but could not see how I could get her to class, Mrs. Debra reached out to the parents to help and boy they were LIFE SAVERS AND NEW FOUND FAMILY! I could go on and on about this program, but it truly is a testament to Mrs. Angel’s heart and vision that bleeds through this studio! I highly recommend this studio to every parent because this program truly is life changing!
