Joining Cadance was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and wellbeing. I was so nervous about getting back into dance after a 15-year break, but my instructors and classmates immediately made me feel like part of the Cadance family! The classes are fun and encouraging, and…
Our daughter was getting older and growing more and more interested in trying new things! Naturally, we’re always on the hunt for activities that our children will enjoy and can fit in with our busy schedules. Since being first invited to Cadance’s “Bring a Friend Day” we’ve been hooked! Hunter…
