our Testimonials

Miranda richter - ridge point hs royals

My team and I LOVE the Ascension contest! The video feedback and judge’s critiques are not only useful, they are motivating! After watching and listening to critiques, my team was immediately inspired and empowered to practice more. They came to practice with energy, enthusiasm and focus and eagerly applied the critiques in our dances. Thank you to Debbie and the Ascension judging staff for your direct, honest and motivating feedback!

 

nichole phillips - navasota hs diamonettes

I have known Debbie Nordstrom for several years and believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that she runs her company with integrity and grit. My dancers love competing at her contests because they know that they will be judged consistently and fairly. Not to mention her contests are organized and fun.

 

JENNIFER WILLEY - SEVEN LAKES HS SAPPHIRES

I can't recommend Ascension Dance enough! My experience at their competitions has been unforgettable. The Ascension staff is always flawless, and the atmosphere is incredibly encouraging and supportive. Teams of all levels showcase their talent, and the judging is fair, constructive, and consistent. 

Team and Officer Camp have been equally impressive. The workshops are engaging, and the Ascension staff inspires both personal growth and teamwork. My team not only improves in their dance abilities while at camp and steps out of their comfort zones, but also gains the confidence and leadership foundations they can utilize throughout the year. 

Thank you Ascension Dance for creating such a positive and empowering environment for dancers and directors! You are not only building students up while they are in your care at competition or camp, but you are intentional in laying the foundation for them as young women beyond our dance teams. 

 

lisa warner - Brentwood christian lady bellas

We have limited experience with competing outside of TAPPS and really appreciated everything about Ascension. I had lots of questions that were always answered thoroughly and in a timely manner. From registering to performing, everything was well organized and communicated. I could not be more pleased with this organization. Thank you so much and we look forward to next year! 

LINDSAY JOE - WESTLAKE HS HYLINE

I highly recommend Ascension Dance Company for their outstanding professionalism and organization. The staff is friendly, helpful, and creates an environment where contest days are enjoyable and stress-free. Their customer service is exceptional—they genuinely seek and value feedback, using it to continually excel their company towards excellence. The leadership at Ascension is among the best in the industry. If you’re looking for a well-rounded, positive, and professional dance experience, Ascension is the place to be!

 

brynae love-young - PAETOW HS SILVER STRUTTERS

As the leader of my program, I was in search of a camp atmosphere which incorporated integrity, accountability, and grit. Ascension Dance offered these qualities at their LEAD SUMMIT and more. The staff members and Debbie could always be seen greeting the Directors and campers throughout the day. I truly appreciated the attention to detail when Director feedback was given. As a Director, I was able to focus on coaching my students to prepare for the year instead of coaching them to excel in a single evaluation. My leadership team was able to make friends with other officer lines because we were able to truly learn and grow as a community. I am excited to continue to support Ascension Dance in their growth as a company.

 

holly lyons - Vandegrift HS Legacies

I have known Debbie Nordstrom for many years. Debbie runs outstanding events with every detail covered to create a signature competitive experience for directors and their teams. Her customer service, professionalism and qualified staff are first class and among the best in the industry. I highly recommend competing at Debbie’s contests as I feel confident you and your team will receive meaningful critiques and enjoy a fun competitive day.

 

Lillian ARNOSKY - RIDGE POINT HS ROYALS

I just wanted to tell you how awesome this Saturday was. The contest ran on schedule, awards were quick and easy to follow, and the judges critiques are AMAZING! I wish every contest would do critiques this way—we got high quality feedback, and instead of hearing the same thing three times in a row, we got thoughtful ideas and critiques that we can apply as we move forward. I’m sure it also keeps the judges a little more engaged, because they’re able to watch a little more and collaborate with each other while watching dances all day long. What a fantastic idea—it really sets your company apart from others. Have a great rest of your season, and we’ll see you next year!
