What Our Students and Parents Say About Us

Sheliza I.

It was such a pleasure meeting Dawn. My daughter really came out of her shell with her during the screening session and I hope that she can see her potential and will be interested in having her enroll in the program. I’m excited for my daughter to learn from Dawn and the group of girls we met!

Cindy's Parents

I’ve loved every second of it I keep calling Girl Pow-R a training opportunity in business for Cindy because just watching how Dawn promotes it gets new business opportunities and doesn’t take no for an answer it’s super inspiring!

Milana's Parents

Milana was part of Girl Pow-R at the very
beginning she was one of the original girls which began in April of 2016. and ever since then it was just a remarkable journey. Milana learned so much with all of the practices that they had and the consistency with great instructors knowledgeable and qualified instructors. It was just great to see Milana’s talent grow and to see her on stage and shine, it was so rewarding for us as parents to see.

Carina

We have an amazing manager named Dawn Van Dam and she gets us plenty of different performance opportunities and not only performances but TV interviews and radio interviews! We have an awesome vocal coach named Guy who helps us out a
lot with our vocal technique and we all love him. And we have some great choreographers named Marnie and rosemary as well as myself!

Ida-Maria

Girl Pow-R has taught me how to be more confident in myself to really believe in myself I mean who wouldn’t want to be a part of girl power it’s not just about the singing and dancing it’s about the sisterhood and I definitely have sisters for life.
