The teachers are professionals, they're educated, & they all have a passion that clearly resonates to all the students. They offer a wide range of classes for everyone, toddlers to grown ups. They also are very involved in the community and participate in many parades, and local outreaches; the main one being Disney World. If there is a setback, it would be the amount of money that could add up with tuition, dance uniforms, & props. Either way, this is the best dance school in Hampton Roads by far!

Initially, our experience with the studio was positive. However, when we received my daughter's…read morerecital costume for her performance in June, I noticed It was a bit revealing (especially for a preschooler). Despite reaching out to the school for three weeks to address this concern, we received no response. I have left messages and emails. I spoke to Miss Jessica and she was very dismissive. I will also note that I am not the only parent who had concerns. The lack of communication and customer service is concerning. The manager Miss Theresa is aware of the issue but has not taken any action (none of the parents have heard from her). If you're comfortable with poor communication and disregard for parental concerns, then this place might suit you. Disappointed and won't recommend

My son is four and I was just looking for things to do this summer.

I figured since it was so inexpensive that we would try it out. Honestly because it was so inexpensive, I didn't have very high expectations. They absolutely blew me away though! Teresa is absolutely amazing , and has taught my son so much. They went above and beyond my expectations, and I am so glad we had the opportunity to take this class this summer.

You know the saying, 'monkey see monkey do'? Well, our younger one wanted to do it too. So, we checked what was available for him since he is a bit younger. So because of age, they are in separate classes and can't do it together. No problem there as we figured it could help with their independence, and we even found classes that worked out better for them in the end. We like that parents are given the option to stay, but you don't have to. There is a window on the other side that you can watch your kiddo as they do their class. I really loved that as I could see how my kids went from shy and reserved to outgoing and excited. From what I saw, I wouldn't say either is doing 'gymnastics' lol, but they're having a really fun time, and that's enough for me. We'll continue to keep coming back as long as the kids want to.

We have been coming here for a little over a year now. All of the teachers are very helpful and…read morepatient with the children. They sanitize the studio after every session and take cleanliness serious by encouraging parents to not bring sick children. This location also hosts camps and other events throughout the year for the little ones, they are extra fee though. Members do get discounts on these extra classes though. They also run limited deals throughout the year such as sign a sibling up and get 25% off or 50% for a second class for current members. My only small gripe is I wish the younger kids classes such as the 2 year olds were a bit lower priced since they aren't really learning any skills, but more so just playing on the equipment.

Definitely on the higher end of the tuition scale for dance studios despite more talking than dancing. I find it alarming when my child knows about the personal lives of her adult teachers. If you aren't going to spend thousands to competitively dance, then I suggest choosing another school, as girls who aren't part of the competitive team are treated as second-class citizens with much less opportunity to improve and it is damaging to their self-esteem. All in all, we are much happier at a different studio this year.

PDA is located in the same center as Untamed Chef, Studly Brewing, Pale Horse (OG location) and Kapers Eatery. I frequent this center often and hadn't noticed PDA before, but birthday host told me that it had opened over the summer. The party was well organized with a balloon arch and dance themed decorations (of which I learned they provide). The party table was set up in the front and the kids had free play in the gym/studio that is located in the back. They did a craft and also played games. About halfway, they blew up a bounce house in the gym and more fun was had. It's owned by a sweet family, managed and instructions led by a mom and daughter duo. I believe the mom has experience in cheer and all of the kids in the family was involved in the activities they instruct at the studio in one form or another. They seem to have a packed schedule every weeknight (attached a picture of the schedule) and the prices are very competitive to some of the other studios I have researched! They also have a retail section of gymnastics/dance apparel, so it's a one stop shop! Go out and support this family owned business and enjoy!
