I LOVE Absolute Dance and all the great people that work there and dance there. Having danced at pretty much every studio in town over the last 24 years Absolute Dance makes me love my life even more. As an adult dancer there are so many classes available to us at all levels. Even my 77 year old mother takes four classes a week! The other adult students have become like family as we all cheer each other on in classes and pep talk each other when we're down. Parents of child students I've visited with make me want to be at the studio even more as they're all so friendly and encouraging of the adult students. Even the kids are super friendly and approachable if I have a dance question or just want to chit chat with them. I can't say enough about the various teachers I've had. They treat the adult classes like we are just as important as the advanced kids and many are able to teach all skill levels in one class setting. The owner (also a teacher) is FANTASTIC!!! She's been dancing her entire life and what she has done for the studio and dance community is phenomenal in trying to increase the visibility of dance to the valley with the professional ballet company and creating a pre-professional program for up and coming youngsters. She goes over and above to make classes special and available to many people. Her knowledge of technique and musicality is way beyond most other teachers I've had over the years. The guidance and patience she has with so many different people pulling her in so many directions is remarkable, frankly I don't know how she does it and keeps that great smile and sense of humor!!!! She's so positive all the time. Truly, I don't know how I can ever repay the owner for all the time, energy, opportunity and love I've received from Absolute Dance. In talking to the other adult students I believe most of us feel this way! Thank you Absolute Dance and Theresa!!! read more

The school for grand junction is great, however the small town mentality and the catty dance mom vibes still seems to become an unfortunate part of this school. I really wish dance could be fun and not involve this high school drama behavior. You may be thinking well, kids will be kids. It's a school full of young people. This is true, hit the tone at the top is the source of the issue not the children. The owner has been overheard blatantly saying rude, demeaning, catty, condescending and unprofessional comments. It's quite disheartening and has ruined my opinions of the school and soured greatly my taste for it as well. Not a good move. Not a good representation of how to act! read more
