I told her no that I've been texting with someone, Erin, and set it up with her. She got my name and pointed me to the door and that was it. Very rude and unpleasant, made me very uncomfortable. Then they have a tiny little window you can look through to watch your child, but all the moms are surrounding it. Only one mom was nice to me and knew that I was trying to see if my little girl was even interested so I could peek through the window every now and then. Just then another lady came and stood right in front of me and I couldn't see anything just very inconsiderate. Not sure why this place has a five star review!

This place is absolutely wonderful!!…read more From the day we walked in it felt like we became a part of the "dance family!" So many of these places now just heard the kids through like cattle. NOT this place! After the first class I think everyone that worked there already knew my daughters name. We started with my almost four year old. She LOVED it from day one! The teachers are absolutely incredible! After my two year old watched our oldest enough times, she started wanting to take dance class. She in VERY introverted so we thought there was no way she would do it. They held an open house one Saturday, and we took our two year old. Literally one of the instructors scooped up our two year olds hand with a huge smile on her face, and started teaching her. She LOVED IT. We signed her up but we still weren't sure if she would like it. Well she didn't like it, she LOVED it! So now our almost four year old and two year old both go here. Everyday they wake up asking if they get to go to dance class today! I've even had text conversation with the OWNER helping me sign up or answer questions. That's unheard of these days. There are MANY studios in the Keller/Southlake area, but I can promise you, this is the best one!!!

Talk about a life changing moment. After 20+ years of marriage, the wife and I have been looking…read morefor something new and fun, that we can do together to keep our relationship fresh. What started as a casual weekly dancing lesson, have turned into something we both truly enjoy and became a very important part of our lives. Bear in mind that I personally was skeptical at first, considering many of us men never really considered dancing as something we take seriously. This is all thanks to the outstanding professional instructors at Fred Astaire dance studios. They know firsthand on how to work with any couples, any age, and both male and female singles in any skill levels. They will help you grow and improve in dancing at just the right pace. We are thankful for this new activity of ours, as is has truly added tremendous value to our relationship/life in more ways that we can imagine.

Time for an updated review as we are about to finish our first season and had our first recital on…read moreSaturday. First, the recital was on 1.5 hours long. WIN Second. The recital was super casual, and easy going, which is good because when you've got little kids dancing, and young families with little kids, and everyone is is just LITTLE, that makes for quite a bit of ups and downs and talking, and ins and outs, and you know what... IT WAS OKAY! No one was bothered in the least, and that made everyone chill. So.. second win! And the third win, Miss Devin (the owner) was IN LABOR and still came to the recital. I wonder if she's had that sweet baby yet? Now there's a director who really loves her craft and her students! Three cheers for Dance Axiom!

My daughter came here wanting to do Hip Hop classes. The pricing was fair, 1 hip hop class per week…read morefor $63 /month. My daughter REALLY enjoys the class. She looks forward to it whenever it's that day of the week she has classes. The owner and staff are VERY nice and welcoming. There are always classes going on when we are there - tap, ballet etc... And the level of classes and students are varied and you can attend classes that fit your level and needs. They also do a recital for your kids if you are interested for an addition... I think $60. The negative... I don't think the beginning hip hop class is for "serious" dancers. They are there learning basic moves and I think they are more focused on making it fun as opposed to technique. This is actually what we wanted, but if you were wanting it needing your classes to be more technique oriented, this is not the class for you. Maybe the higher levels focus a bit more on that but I wouldn't know. All in all, my daughter likes it very much and we keep going back. The people are great, the place is clean and professional and the "Dance Moms" I've met were all surprisingly wonderful women.

I used to have a monthly membership quite a few years ago. They don't offer the monthly anymore,…read morebut the annual is very manageable ($30 for Hurst residents) though I've been told the rates will go up October 1st. I was surprised at first, but then I saw all the upgrades they've made since I was last a member. Great upgrades. The walking track has been painted, the smaller fitness room with the cardio machines has been laid out better, and they made an amazing weight room in the second gym. I was just astounded at the work they've put in to make this place more functional over the years, and way better equipment. For $75 annual, or $100 starting October 1st, you get two fitness rooms, a real indoor walking track, workout classes, an upstairs strengthening room, and the nicest front desk staff. That's less than half of what you'd pay at the gym. I can't believe I had been wasting money at a gym for less features and perks. Keep up the great work!

I've grown really fond of this place. My husband and I decided we were going to get a gym…read moremembership back in January to start the year off right. We paid $100 for a family annual pass since we are Hurst residents. The folks working the front desk are always very friendly and helpful. The gym seems to be kept in good condition and I frequently see them cleaning different areas. Antibacterial wipes to wipe down the machines after you use them are readily available at pretty much all times, you never have to go very far to seek any out. I've never had any issues with broken machines. It's also much less busy than some of the other gyms in the area, which I love. They do not have a sauna or pool or any fancy equipment (for example; prone leg curl, v squat machine, hip thrust machine etc) but they have all your basic machines, plenty of cardio machines and a turf area with a sled pull. My one gripe is that I wish they had better hours. They close at 5:00pm Friday and Saturday, and are closed all day Sunday. I got a gym membership somewhere else to supplement some of the other stuff and the days the Hurst Rec was closed, but I ended up cancelling it because I just had a much better experience at the Hurst Rec and ended up using Sunday as a rest day anyway. It's no frills but it gets the job done, and for the price, it's pretty hard to beat.

UPDATE: Until this organization is under new management, I…read morecan not in good conscience recommend it to anyone... As things stand right now, this is not a godly company. It is toxic and corrupt. I ask that you please pray for them. Thank you. -------------------------- I was a part of this organization for 7 years. So let's start with the GOOD qualities... * 1. If you want to be a "triple threat" (one who has experience with acting, dance, and vocal training), this is an ok place to start. You will learn the very basics of all three. Having this training will look great on any performer's resume... * 2. A chance to perform in front of an audience. It's always good to have stage experience. It helps you to grow as a performer.... Now... let's get to the BAD qualities... * 1. None of the teachers have special training in the arts. Many of them just grew up within the organization, starting out as students and then working their way up to leadership positions. So if you want to be taught by a professional performer with a degree, you're not going to find it here... * 2. YOU WILL SPEND A POOP LOAD OF MONEY. YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING. NOT JUST THE CLASSES.. SHOW CLOTHES, TRAVELING, "PRODUCTION FEES" (even as a paid WORKER I had to pay the "production fee" of $100.) It makes you wonder where all the money is going... * 3. The music material is overdone. They choose to perform to the same music every season. They might add two new songs, but the rest are embarrassingly outdated... * 4. CPAC use to have a teacher that taught multiple forms of dance. But unfortunately, she has since left the company, so now the only form of dance they teach is "show choir". And to be honest, it gets old very fast... * 5. The choir's performing apparel is god awful. The outfits are absolutely horrendous... * 6. The way the director treats her employees.. here's my own personal experience.. I was definitely taken advantage of while working for this company. I started officially teaching there when I was 16, and since it was my first job, I had no idea what I should have been getting paid. I was a performing arts teacher there and top performer in the company's professional band for about 4 years. I also did some directing and stage managing for many of the shows. I worked way over 40 hours if you include teaching multiple classes throughout the week, band rehearsal, class rehearsals, and performances... All of that... And I was only getting paid $300 a month......... a MONTH..... FOR ALL THAT WORK... it was a learning experience for me when it comes to performing, but also when it comes to being screwed over.... On top of all that, I had to pay for the show clothes, fancy makeup, traveling expenses, etc... *** So here's my final word. Basically, feel free to take classes there for a year maybe, just to learn the basics of performing. Plus it looks good on an acting resume. But don't stay there too long! It will take over your entire schedule! It keeps you busy beyond belief!! It's only good for a short amount of time. Then you have to move on and take classes elsewhere. Keep adding to your resume and grow in the performing arts. Don't let anyone stunt your growth as a performer. Keep moving forward to bigger and better things.

I'll give credit where credit is due. This organization is a HUGE part of my personal testimony;…read moresome good, but mostly bad. I started as a student of this organization at the age of 9. I loved Jesus and was young in my faith. I had a passion for performing arts and wanted to use my passions for Jesus. At first I LOVED IT. The teachers were fun and kind. All my closest friends were there. The director seemed a bit tough and critical at times, but she was a leader so she must have a good reason for making kids cry and feel bad about themselves. But by the time I was 13 I started realizing something was TERRIBLY wrong. I was asked to be a teacher (at THIRTEEN) and apart of their professional group UNITY. I was asked to go to online school so I could dedicate all my time there. Soon I was in meetings with the director Marcia Hall almost daily. She would spend that time criticizing every member of the group in front of one another. She would scream, name call, gaslight, and manipulate. This woman's Motto was "my way or the highway". If anyone disagreed they were thrown out and blamed for being terrible Christians. She controlled every aspect of my life (what to wear, say, think, believe, post). I remember being told I couldn't talk to anyone who decided to leave or be friends with them anymore. She constantly was talking trash about the parents and telling us how they didn't know how to raise their OWN KIDS, so she had to teach them what was right. She hid behind the Bible and used it to shame, scare, and control. I remember Bible study after Bible study with her where she used the Bible to show me why I was a sinner and needed to be better. I received no grace from her. I was promised I would be paid when I was 16. By that time I was working 40 hours a week and paid 100 a month IF she remembered. If anyone questioned why they hadn't received a paycheck she would call them greedy. I felt like I couldn't leave because she would guilt us into staying and say terrible things about kids that chose to go. I left at age 17 because God spoke clearly to me that this was not who He was. He wasn't legalistic... he was full of grace and love. So I have Marcia to thank for showing me what poor leadership looks like. God used this experience to deepen my love for and understanding of Him. I'm currently getting my bachelors in worship leadership and am considering getting my masters. I suppose Marcia could call me lazy... but it's just not the truth. I gave her 8 dedicated years of my life. Blood, sweat, tears, MONEY, and years of endured abuse. But I learned better, realized what spiritual and emotional abuse looks like (I guess that's just "hard work" to her) and I left. I guess she's mad about me deciding I needed healthy boundaries. Look up narcissist... that's her. I write this review with the heart and intention to protect these little ones as God commands us to do. I pray God would show her how she's hurt hundreds of kids and change her heart. But until that happens do not send your kids here. There are plenty of other Christian performing arts organizations that you can send your kids to. Abusive director/founder Was there from 2008-2016
