“My daughter loves her dance classes. I do the fitness and gym package. [They have] great prices and a friendly environment!” – Chloe L.

Not Your Average Dance Studio

We wanted to learn all about Sapphire-Studio and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with the owner, April Straughn.

The first question we had for April was what sets Sapphire-Studio apart from their competition in North Carolina. Here’s her response:

“I would say that I am big on a family atmosphere. I actually grew up doing clogging teams, but not the traditional/standard dance studio. It has helped me to create an atmosphere that is welcoming and family-oriented!”

April went on to add:

“I have been a studio for five years now. There is not a day that I do not enjoy going into work! My younger brother died in 2012. His birthstone was a Sapphire, so that is how I named this studio. We give out an award each year in honor of him.”

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Sapphire-Studio and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what April had to say:

“My mission is to create the opportunity for kids of all walks of life to enjoy and learn the expressions and love you can have for dancing. I have affordable pricing and work with all of my customers.”

Building Success by Providing Good Service

April attributes Sapphire-Studio’s strong online reputation to her commitment to always providing her clients with good service:

“I do the best I can! I try to provide good service. I know you can’t make everyone happy, so I try my best to reach out. I try to create a certain atmosphere for my business.”

When we asked April how Sapphire-Studio has gotten their name out there outside of building a powerful online reputation, she said:

“Don’t just provide great customer service, but put yourself in their shoes. Do not be someone who blames others; take ownership. Treat the helpers well! Be appreciative for those who help you.”


Congratulations to the team at Sapphire-Studio for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, April, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Sapphire-Studio in Liberty. Visit their website today!
