I have sent all 3 of my children here. One took lessons to prepare to audition for a ballet company. One dances recreationally. One is on the competition company at Allen dance studio. I love the people who own the studio. They have good values and care about every student who walks in the door. I could give countless examples. They don't let the kids dress provocative or be taught to dance dirty. Now, onto the dance stuff. The teachers are amazing, and they all work professionally as dancers, including cheerleaders on professional sports teams. They know how to teach, get professional training, and are up on the latest styles. If you want to develop your child into a professional quality dancer, this is a good place to do it. If you just want to take a class for fun, they will teach you well and treat you with respect. All in all, a great atmosphere for anyone.

See all

I rarely leave reviews, but this situation warrants serious attention…read more On a Friday, that too on Good Friday, at approximately 2 PM--during normal business hours--vehicles parked for no more than 30 minutes in spots facing Spring Creek and Independence were aggressively towed. This occurred despite the fact that the studio itself appeared inactive at the time, with no visible customer activity and ample parking available directly in front of its entrance. From a reasonable and community-oriented perspective, this enforcement appears excessive and disproportionate. Parking policies are understandable when they serve a legitimate business need--such as ensuring access for paying customers. However, enforcing towing under these circumstances, where there was no apparent demand or obstruction, raises concerns about fairness, proportionality, and good faith. Businesses operate within communities, and with that comes a level of responsibility to act reasonably--not punitively--especially when no harm or inconvenience is being caused. Towing a vehicle within such a short window, absent clear necessity, creates the impression of predatory enforcement rather than responsible property management. If this is indeed standard practice, it would be advisable for the studio to: * Ensure clear, prominent, and unambiguous signage * Allow a reasonable grace period * Exercise discretion based on actual parking demand Actions like these don't just inconvenience individuals--they erode trust within the broader community. I strongly urge management to reconsider how these policies are implemented. A business thrives not just on rules, but on fairness, judgment, and respect for the community it serves.

The dancing instructors are great. Very professional, friendly, and patient. They are very…read moreknowledgeable and make learning to dance fun.

My daughter Lily has spent many wonderful years at Hathaway Academy. The teachers are first class…read moreand the concentration on technique is impeccable. Not only has Lily learnt technique, but also has a healthy respect for her teachers, the art of ballet, and the discipline needed to excel. She just loves every teacher she has had there and being cast in the Nutcracker each year has been truly magical. If you are looking for a school that cares about the training of your child then look no further than Linda and Kirt Hathaway... you wont ever regret it!

Our children have all happily attended Hathaway Academy of Ballet for just about a decade. We have…read morea 4yr old daughter in the children's division, an 11yr. old son in the student division and a 14 yr. old daughter in the pre professional program. My 14 yr old's training and development gained her entrance into the prestigious Bolshoi Summer Intensive program and The Florida Classical Ballet. And my 11yr. old son had the opportunity to participate in his first intensive with The Florida Classical Ballet as well. Hands down, Hathaway Academy of Ballet has demonstrated superior classical dance instruction for our children and many in our community ranging from 3 years old through the pre professional divisions. The directors and instructors are courteous and respectful of all their dancers and their families. They take great pride in providing superior technique, pointe preparation, performance opportunities and community engagement. They are honest, fair and provide individualized attention when needed to correct technique and form. If you are going to invest your precious time and hard-earned dollars somewhere for your child to pursue the beautiful artistic study of dance, do so where you can see that you are getting something of great value. Hathaway Academy of Ballet is that place.

It is understandable that you feel that every effort was made to rectify any issues expressed verbally to you or your staff. But your perception does not supersede our experience and how we were made to feel. I am not a perfect person nor parent, but I welcome growth in all areas of my life. I have learned valuable lessons in this season and will apply this experience to better myself and protect my child. As for the reviews, I only rate only on my experience. You cannot label me a liar because of my experience, no more than I can call someone a liar for giving your studio a positive review. I understand your feelings over what was was said, but everything I stated is the truth, experienced first hand. My hopes are for you and, anyone else reading this review, is to listen to your community. Log on to Facebook/ Yelp, Moms of McKinney, Moms of Allen, Moms of Frisco, and see that I am not alone in what I experienced. There are many other families who also have expressed the same sentiments over the same unfortunate events. At the end of the day it's about what's best for the children, a goal I'm sure we all share. Regardless of a positive or negative review, I hope the thoughts of your future customers help you measure areas you are doing right and areas that can and should be improved. I do not wish to engage in a tit for tat. I simply did what was best for my family. We will move forward looking for the best environment for our little girl. And I hope you take the opportunity to grow from this as well.
