Why Dance at Gilliam Dance Project?
"If it hadn’t been for Miss Kara I don’t think my daughter would still be dancing! Not only does she want the girls to be great dancers, she also wants them to be great at life. Miss Kara is more than a dance teacher, she is a mentor, counselor, friend and family." - S. Macklin
"GDP is not only a dance company, it's truly a family. My daughter loves being a part of the company. Mrs. Kara teaches them discipline, accountability, and responsibility. Mrs. Kara embodies a passion for dance that's contagious and her creativity and work ethic is unmatched!!!" - T. Hopkins
"I want to personally thank Miss Kara for sharing her gift with the world. Thank you for creating a space where young girls can dance, grow, and be a part of a community. We are grateful for the opportunity to have met you and been under your instruction. Your intentional efforts to see and acknowledge every dancer for who they are beyond their talent is invaluable." - M. Floyd
"My daughters have been dancing at Gilliam Dance Project since Miss Kara opened her doors in 2021. We could not be happier! They have grown so much, both as dancers and as people. We highly recommend Gilliam Dance Project to anyone looking for dance classes for children in Kent County, Delaware!" - A. Russell
