What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

In the early days, without the luxury of social media to help her out, a business mentor had told her to expect a 1% return on her promotional efforts, and with her 400 square foot space still under construction, she opened for business two weeks later with exactly 35 eager students. Since that time the school has served thousands of students, traveled to places like Belize, Thailand, and Uganda to establish dance programs similar to the ones they offer right here in their beautiful, newly designed, state of the art Mill Creek facility. When asked what makes the school different from all the other schools around, Debbie said with a big smile, “Well, we’ve just been around a lot longer.” For the past 19 years Reflections School of Dance has focused on family-friendly values with wholesome and age appropriate music, choreography, and costume attire. With their “no charge for integrity” attitude, this dance school is personal, friendly, and on call for your excellent customer service.
