They have made so many amazing friends and learned so much from miss renee and her wonderful staff. My kids cannot wait for each new program to begin. It has boosted their confidence immensely. Also, I like how there aren't any cuts with this program, and every kid gets a part so no one feels left out or sad. Also there are multiple locations and multiple rehearsal days and times which makes it super convenient.

As a former student who quit in 2018, this place first had a professional atmosphere to it…read more Teachers were actually nice. Before I quit, though, several conflicts occurred including drama in Nutcracker dress rehearsals. Got body-shamed, was excluded, and I found out that other dancers were body-shamed too. I've talked to former dancers who went here, stayed there for years, and had experienced self-esteem issues due to Mrs. Irina's unnecessary comments. I wish I could have rated this place higher because I came out as a decent ballerina, but the training all of us had to go through felt nearly abusive.

My daughter attended ASCB for several years and danced in several of the school's performances…read more Unfortunately, I cannot in good conscience recommend this school. Found the owners belittling young, impressionable girls. Irina, in particular, often body shamed girls. Both owners failed to provide promised private lessons even after these were paid for and no refund provided. Extremely shady and unprofessional business practices frustrated their employees. Contracted instructors have complained that they went unpaid. By all means, if you want, send your young, impressionable girls to a school were they are shamed, abused, and ridiculed by these hot-headed narcissists.

They had successful professional careers in Europe and the United States. As teachers, they studied with Kee Juan Han, now the director of the School of the Washington Ballet, and two-time "Dance Magazine Teacher of the Year." They've had their own studio for a number of years. One of their recent graduates is now with Ballet Arizona. It's a relatively small studio, where your child will get a lot of attention. The atmosphere is very welcoming to boys, as well.

I cannot recommend this school highly enough.

We recently moved from Phoenix and chose Prima Dance AZ because it's only 5 minutes from our house…read more We were previously at Club Dance and, while we were sad to leave, the hour-long drive just wasn't practical anymore. So far, we've been very happy with Prima Dance! The owner even personally called me after my daughter's first day to recommend a different class setting that better suited her age group. I thought that was such a personal touch and deeply appreciated it. The studio itself is in a quiet location with plenty of parking, which makes coming and going easy. The only adjustment for us has been not being able to watch through windows during class, but overall I'm really excited to continue with Prima and get more involved in my daughter's dance journey.

She comes home and practices her technique some more without prompting. I think due to the positive and nurturing environment they create. The shows are great and really showcase the talent in the older girls which is a product of their great teaching. My daughter is in ballet/tap combo but they offer a wide variety... jazz, hip hop and others! I do not have any issue with personalities at this school like the other reviewer, owner and other staff are friendly, helpful and professional.

They say "Those that can't do, teach," but nothing could be further from the truth about Kelli…read moreJames. Kelli didn't simply decide one day she knew something about performing and hang a shingle. She has the bona fides of a career at the top of the entertainment industry, most notably as the first American Eponine in the original Broadway production of Les Miserables. She also starred in the first national tours of Evita and Aspects of Love; in addition, she has sung on some of the world's greatest concert stages, from Toronto to Munich to London's Royal Albert Hall. Any singer looking to learn from the best need look no further than Kelli James. She has the track record to prove it.

I saw first hand her level of professionalism and her working knowledge of surviving in show business, more importantly, how to survive 8 shows a week of high modern-aged belting. In the years since, I have encountered (auditions or on stage) several of Kelli's students and been thorough amazed. They display great poise, investment in their craft, and in some, a greater depth of feeling than their young years should provide. Several are working professionally. One just closed in a starring role on Broadway. Everyone has a voice. If that were enough, the stars would fill the airwaves. Unfortunately, getting from studio to the stage door entrance takes hard work and frankly, a great deal of insider knowledge. Whether you're an adult looking for a refresher or a student (or parent of one) who may have a dream or ambition, you will benefit from studying with Kelli. In fact, you'll have The Advantage.

(In private may I add because it was sensitive information.) I did not agree with everything she said regarding it but I was assured that I could ask to sit with the director and watch the recordings if it would make me feel better because "he has nothing to hide." My child LOVES dance. We go to 3 studios including this one and she is always excited to go to the other two studios. Fast forward to today, the third class. My child does not want to go. She doesn't even want to get out of the car. She compares her teacher to the principal from Matilda and tells me that her instructor forces them to do the splits when she is unable to get to the full position. You don't have to be a dance pro or a doctor to know that, that can lead to injury. I express my child's feelings to the front desk and ask to see the last class recording just to see what's going on and make sure everything is okay. Front desk is very nice and say I'd probably have to wait until the next day or next week since the director had classes. I told her that was fine. Director ends up coming in early. As soon as I saw him you could tell how this was going to go. We all 3 go into a room and I repeat my request to him. He snaps and says NO. That how dare I come and insult his studio, that I'm bad mouthing him, that I'm looking for a problem, that I just want attention. How dare I question them! He practically kicked us out for asking to see the previous class recording. Then back tracked. He came at me questioning if I was a pro and where I trained when I expressed that I just wanted to make sure they weren't risking inquiry by forcing the kids straight into positions they're bodies weren't ready for. He said I signed a paper where it says they will take whatever approach they want to teach the kids. I did not back down because how are you going to come in like that over a simple request. What happened to not having anything to hide? There was so much more including him saying that the rape of the 16 year old girl 2 years ago was "consensual" when I brought it up to explain the previous conversation I had with the front desk where I was told they had no issues showing the recordings because that was the first thing that I had to discuss with the front desk to ask what steps they were taking to make sure the kids were safe. Horrible experience. That owner has major issues.
