    My daughter attended this school and now my granddaughter dances here so we've been here a long…read moretime. The owner (Amy) is awesome and everything runs smoothly. Information is given to us in a timely manner, recitals are organized and summer camps are fun. The teachers were excellent for my daughter with some of the same still teaching here. They youth assistants are talented and congenial with the children. They have a talented dance team but we just wanted our kids to ENJOY dance, not go to the olympics. They were not pressured to compete and this was very important to us. It's okay to dance for fun and exercise. We're very happy at Jeanne Lynne. Can't recommend it enough, especially with the grace with which they have handled the pandemic.

    My review today is a nostalgic blast from the past for me. If you have a child looking for a dance…read morestudio (or if you are looking for classes of your own!) JLDS is IMO the best studio in St Pete! I started taking ballet lessons when I was 5. Every year the studio puts on a recital to showcase everyone's hard work. Watching the recital, I fell in love with clogging. My second year I enrolled in clogging. From beginner, I worked my way up to join the Southern Exposure clogging team and traveled the southern states competing with this team. We even got to travel to Missouri one summer to perform in shows for two weeks at Silver Dollar City, their theme park. Besides clogging and ballet. I also enrolled in tap, jazz, lyrical, African, and hip-hop (my second favorite after clogging). What started off as something my mom put me in as a fun hobby ended in the best time of my life with friends I will have forever. (I'm almost 40 and stopped dancing when I moved out at 22 and I still see some of these girls!) If competition isn't your cup of tea they have normal classes too. Even writing this, my heart is so full and I honestly can't thank my mom enough for the dance memories I have

    Hugo and Stacie love to dance. They are very encouraging and will work to your skill level. They…read moreknow a lot of tricks to help you work on your mistakes, and they are very positive. The have the patience to work with even the most awkward dancers...me. The studio is clean, open, and inviting. They have a multitude of classes for all skill levels. I have travelled over 7 hours to have a lesson with them and will be doing so again. I cannot recommend them enough.

    The best thing is supposed to be Hugo and Stacy, however, I do not agree…read more My wife and I have been spending winters in the area for many years. We danced this past season at District West Coast Swing with Hugo "level 3". At this point Hugo decided to add "level 4" by INVITE ONLY. My wife and I were forced to go to "level 3" if we wanted to dance in the class. He didn't Invite us, as he didn't even know our names. Level 3 was way below our skill. The class consisted of 2 instructors, 1 man who was not qualified to dance, another woman who smelled like alcohol and another woman who was quite good. That is hardly a good time. No interaction with the "friends" we have at "level 4" which had around 50 people and our class had 6 people. If you are visiting, I wouldn't bother. Yes, if you dance with the "key players" and meet people, it could be fun. We have decided to go to the other West Coast Swing group at Bayou with Danielle.

    Edit after sleeping on this, but leaving my upset: For 3.5…read morehours at dress rehearsal, my son was not accounted for by the people in charge. When he didn't show up on stage (due to their neglect at communicating), not an eye was batted. He didn't have anyone come to ensure he was safe. He was left in a room with a volunteer, presumably another parent at the school. Just because you have another parent volunteering does not mean they are a safe person. When someone is missing from a place they are supposed to be, the person in charge should feel quite compelled to locate the missing person. Original review: My son worked for 6 months on a dance he will not be performing tomorrow after severe neglect from the school to have tabs on their dancers. He was the only boy in the number, and one of a handful of boys at the school. He was only performing in ONE dance. No one thought to stop and find him for rehearsal when he was missing. He sat in a dressing room for 3.5 hours for literally nothing. They never called his name to come to the stage. When I confronted (admittedly, very heated after hearing of this) the woman in charge, she offered to have him practice then. At 8:30 at night. After my son had already sat for 3.5 hours waiting for them to call him up. After they were already 30 minutes behind schedule. Picture day was just as much of a mess. This is not his first rodeo with a dance company (he is last one stopped dance programs or we would have gladly stayed with them), and it isn't mine either- after having taken classes and performing for 15 years, myself. I would drive to Tampa over going to this dance school again. You would think if this is something you do over and over again, you would have it down by now. Not happy that they robbed my son of this experience, and have set him up for complete failure.
