We are even considering putting her in after school care to learn chinese and ballet. She really likes the classes and the teachers. Morningstar has instituted some rules to address the overcrowding. I up'd the star rating by one star because my daughter loves these classes so much and the teachers are excellent. Now, I just drop by daughter off and do errands so that I don't have to be in a crowded environment and it seems to work well. ---old review There are many more ballet schools around Johns Creek that are better looking than Morningstar Dance Academy. However, the teachers are very good. If you are serious about ballet and don't care about the facility and look of the place, you may want to give Morningstar Dance Academy a try. This school seems to be outgrowing its current facility. I think the owner will need to expand soon or create more classes in order to keep the class size down. Right now, my biggest issue is that the classes are so crowded. The state of the facility would be my second biggest gripe. I wish I could watch my daughter's class, but there is no room and there is no window aside from the tiny one on the door. There is also no room for the parents to wait since the adjacent class rooms get filled with chinese language classes. My daughter attends this school with her friends, but I don't know how much longer I will keep her here mostly due to the overcrowding. Pros: Teachers are very good You will see results quickly and learn fast Teacher is strict Teachers speak english Morningstar also has a Chinese Language School Cons: Classes are crowded Facility is small and getting run down Teacher is strict Everyone else speaks chinese Morningstar's Chinese Language School is very rigorous even for native speakers

At first she didn't want to leave her previous school (but i wasn't happy with the lack of growth) so we spent several months trying different schools in the area, as transition is hard. After taking just one class at Morning Star, she said "mom that was the hardest class I've ever taken, I want him (Mr Chen) to train me". We have been there for a little over a year now, and I have seen so much development from her. What she loved is that she gets detailed instructions on what she needed to work on, exercise and stretches that would help develop, the under develop parts of her body, something she wasn't getting at any of the previous schools. She also loved the level of discipline, she felt that all the dancers took the craft seriously. I as a working mom love the flexibility of the school, Instructors allow students to come in and do additional work outside of class time. This along with training alongside girls above her level is something that has aided in my daughter's development. Although smaller than most "fancier" schools in the area and the school we came from, after spending time at just about all of them. I have to say, Morning Star has the best ballet training of all the schools in the area. I would recommend this school to any SERIOUS dancer, because it is intense.

Once in a higher level, you're able to join the pre-professional company (Northeast Atlanta Ballet). You're able to take ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and when you're ready you can go en pointe. Taking classes here is truly a gift, I've made my best friends here, and some of my best experiences are from here. I highly recommend letting your child go here!

I have been dancing for a year and a half now and it is remarkable how far they have taken my journey from someone who simply wanted to learn how to swing dance. The program includes "on the floor" instruction along with videos that are available online to review at your convenience. It's an excellent format and helps you when practicing at home. In addition to swing, I have learned some Ballroom and Latin dances. I have also now participated in two showcases and thoroughly enjoyed the experience of watching and performing in front of others. Kristin, my instructor, loves to dance. She is a remarkable dancer and instructor and seemingly always wears a smile. I look forward to seeing her every week as much as I enjoy my lesson.

I gave…read moresome points for good customer service during the registration process, but after my daughter's first and only session, it's been pressing on me to leave a review... I took my oldest daughter to this dance company to hopefully introduce her to hip hop dancing - she is 4 and says she wants to be a dancer. She has taken soccer, ballet, tap, gymnastics, music classes, so just keeping in mind that this isn't my first rodeo on toddler classes. She also goes to school. I realize that in a classroom when children outnumber the teacher it is hard for them to pay particular attention to any one child - I get it! What I saw at this studio was a total lack of acknowledgment, engagement or encouragement. I literally saw the teacher move her to the side so she could continue her routine. I guess she was in the way but she remained to the side, as pictured, through the remainder of the class like a 'bad or disruptive' child. It seemed like a punishment. As I ponder on the picture - it makes me sad. This was my aspiring dancer's experience with dance! Wow! Not to add dramatics, but since this is my eldest child, and I am experiencing everything for the first time, I could only hope it didn't totally discourage her. She doesn't want to go back there but I do plan on taking her to other studios. The classes were very large at this studio and in most cases for that age, a second teacher is necessary. There was only 1 in this class. I also found that the dance move they were taught in this class, which not a single student could imitate at that age, was complex enough that adults probably couldn't either! I suggest adding another teacher to toddler classes or reducing the size of the class AND some training on engaging with that age group. I noticed that within 45 minutes, the children seemed to be standing around most of the time - I guess they were being instructed, not sure, since I could only see on the video as there isn't a glass screen like other places I've been to. Lastly, I picked up my girl at the end who burst into tears - I asked the teacher what happened and she shrugged and said I don't know, I guess she missed you. Never check on her or attempted to care. Glad I already canceled enrollment before that interaction anyway - I hope that my child's teacher would care enough, since she was the only child crying. A simple, 'hope you feel better next time and hope you try again' would have been nice. But a shrug does not work for me.
