My daughter LOVES her dance and tumbling classes at LIFT. Her teachers are so patient and kind. Every time we drive past LIFT she says, "there's my dance classes, lets go see Mrs. Ballerina" AKA Mrs. Irena.

This is my daughter’s first year of tumbling and she absolutely loves it! She was nervous in the beginning because she’s never done anything like this before and most of the other girls started when they were younger. Ms. Vicky and Ms. Jill have been so helpful and nice, as well as the other girls in the class. She looks forward to going every week!

My oldest daughter takes the aerial acrobatics course and loves it. She is not into sports so we struggled to find her an activity that she would enjoy. Watching how she has progressed this season has been amazing. The teachers are very patient and make sure that each student has what they need to succeed. The class is kept on the small side to make sure each kid gets the instruction they deserve in order to not hurt themselves. My youngest can’t wait til it is her turn.

I was looking for a place to workout and get connected with other ladies when we moved to Van Alstyne from McKinney. Lift is the perfect spot for me! All the classes are lovely and my fitness level has definitely improved since starting here a few months ago. Feeling Grateful

I enrolled my daughter in the summer program last year (2020) and had a great experience. The environment is positive and encouraging to my young daughter. Since then, she joined for the fall and spring semesters of ballet intro and she has loved it. The teachers are kind and patient, and I appreciate the promotion of modesty. I had been looking for a dance studio that would NOT be like a Dance Moms nightmare, and this is it. The owner is very informative and friendly and I have nothing but good things to say about Lift!

AMAZING! I was 40 years old before I found a form of exercise that I truly enjoyed and looked forward to. That is what I found when I tried aerial yoga last summer and loved it!
I was amazed at how quickly I saw results. I have lost 40 lbs, toned my muscles, and feel great.
Irina is an amazing owner/instructor. She is patient, encouraging and motivating! Her passion for her customers, her business and dance/yoga/fitness is inspiring!

This is a wonderful studio! We moved to Texas almost 2 years ago and were in search of somewhere close for my daughter to continue ballet and tap. She has loved her instruction here and is growing in her dancing abilities. And as a parent, I am so glad that we found a place that doesn’t exploit dance and the innocence of young girls these days!! Thank you Miss Irina for holding true to your values and teaching in a safe environment!

We had to change the plans for my daughter's 6th birthday party due to weather & had it here at the last minute. The staff was truly incredible & so so helpful! They helped me set everything up, entertained all the kids, & were even cleaning up still as we left. There was so much room that the kids literally ran themselves ragged. I can't say enough good things & will definitely keep them in mind for future events.

Absolutely beautiful and well equipped studio. Probably one of the best I have ever been in. They spared no cost in the build out and I think they have thought of everything. Have taken Zumba class, but excited to try some of the other classes. The owners and staff are very friendly, as well as the Instructors. So glad such a great business is here in Van Alstyne.

Ms. Irina and Ms. Vicky are so incredibly sweet! I'm happy knowing my daughter is learning, having fun, and exercising. She is just 4 and we aren't trying to do any of the competitive stuff. She just enjoys dancing and I'm enjoying watching her interest and ability grow!

I had called around for the closest dance studio as there isn't one in my town. After speaking with Lift, I knew this was the perfect fit. The combination of knowledge/experience and values were exactly what I was looking for. As a parent, its hard to know that your child will be in a place that meets our high criteria, but I will say this place will not disappoint. I highly recommend Lift to anyone looking for for a great studio

We love this little dance studio! Both my daughter and I began taking classes here this year. My 3 year old lives for "ballet day" and absolutely loves her Tiny Tutus class. And I love watching her and her sweet friends in class. They find so many creative and fun ways to teach our kids how to love and enjoy ballet. The adult ballet class is one of the highlights of my own week. I'm a ballerina long past her prime, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the heck out of dancing every week. Because you're never too old for ballet if you still love it!
