Wishes Dance Studio - Fishers, Indiana

Cathy Henry

My daughter has been dancing at Wishes for almost six years now. It was the positive, supportive environment she needed as a beginning dancer. As she grows older, I love that the friendships she made at a young age continue as they are learning to support and cheer each other on. The class offerings have multiplied, and the skill level has increased thanks to the amazing teachers. Beyond basic dance classes, she can take modern, contemporary, acro, musical theater and conditioning classes. The studio has recently added the option of competition for all of their performance companies. I am so thankful for Wishes and all they are providing my daughter!

I am going to give an honest and fair review of Wishes Dance Studio as my daughter has been dancing here for 9 years. I feel as though I am in a place where I’ve seen about every aspect and angle of the studio and have a lot to say. I’ve seen it grow from a smaller space, to including extra rehearsal rooms as the demand for more classes has continued to increase. And all for good reason. There is a reason we’ve stayed with Wishes for 9 years and I hope to explain further here. My daughter is very involved and takes now up to 10-15 hours of classes each week. They offer so many genres (ballet, tap, jazz, modern, contemporary, hip hop, etc.) and she takes them all at this point. She continues to be challenged and her skills have grown in amazing ways thanks to the absolutely wonderful staff and teachers. We’ve seen all levels of the studio from the preschool classes where she began, to the higher advanced levels where she is now and they have all been exactly perfect for each age and skill level. The preschool teachers have a kind and nurturing quality and make the classes fun for the beginners and the older kids continue to challenged by the highly technically skilled teachers who keep them working at their peak while continuing to keep it fun. The opportunities for the kids outside of the classes is also phenomenal. Yes, there is a recital at the beautiful Paramount theatre in Anderson each spring as well as a festive Christmas show each December. But that’s only the beginning. My daughter has danced at halftime shows for the Harlem Globetrotters, the Pacers, performed at Victory Field and more here in Indy. But the studio also travels. This past fall they danced in the parade down the Magic Kingdom main street at Walt Disney World. And this past January, my daughter got to compete with Wishes at the Tremaine dance competition downtown Indy. If you’ve kept reading through my novel of a review, I hope you take away how absolutely amazing this studio is. The owner is so friendly and all of the staff genuinely care about the kids and helping them perform their very best, no matter their age or skill level. And I didn’t even mention that kids can be super involved or dance recreationally. Either is perfectly fine. They want each kid to get the experience they are looking for. To end, I am so grateful we found this wonderful place all of those years ago and cannot imagine our lives without Wishes!

We've been at Wishes off and on for the past 9 years- but currently have been there for the past 2 years consistently. We have found a place that both girls love to dance, but also friendships that will last a lifetime. This dance studio cares just as much about dance, as they do making the kiddos feel welcome and accepted.

My kids have been going to Wishes for over 5 years, and it truly has become our second family. Instead of just doing recitals, Wishes recently started attending competitions, and it has been a BLAST! Also, my girl’s dance technique has improved an insane amount over these last couple of years! It’s so fun watching them grow as dancers!

My granddaughter is a wheelchair dancer at Wishes Dance Studio. Thank you so much for giving her the opportunity to dance like other little girls her age. Getting to attend her dance recital, last Friday night, was a dream come true for our family. You truly make a difference.

Evan Wheeler

We have been thrilled with Wishes. We started off as casual patrons- one class for a pre schooler.
They were so welcoming, and our daughter has loved her teachers. We have steadily increased our participation.
They really live by the first rule of the studio: Have Fun.

My daughter loves dancing at Wishes. She learns new skills, but more importantly has a very supportive community of teachers and older dancers. we love the family involvement and being part of the dance company at an early age.
