Awful experience for our very new beginner and very shy swimmer. We did the trial lesson and it…read morewent fine. Decided to sign up, and the next lesson was a disaster. We had a different teacher this time because it was different time. This teacher was incompetent and not experienced teaching children starting from knowing nothing, and not being comfortable with swimming. I walked in with my son and took him to his lesson and told the teacher it was only his second leson, he is very beginner, and also super quiet, meaning he probably wouldn't talk to her. I proceeded to go to the parent area after leaving my son with her. Five minutes after saying this, she proceeds to put his face underwater without his consent. My son is not ready for this. He can barely blow bubbles. Last lesson the teacher did not do this. She understood his silence meant he wasn't ready. This should have been in his record that he cannot hold his breath under water, what his last lesson was like, where he is at, etc. At this point my son is screaming crying, since he cannot hold his breath, he breathed in water when he went under by someone he was forced to trust to teach him the survival skill that is swimming. I rush in there to find out what happened. I asked if she got his consent for going under. She said he did not say anything, he did not nod his head yes or no. Meaning he gave no consent since he is extremely shy. She thought him not saying anything was consent! She thought that it would be okay to dunk his head after getting no response and seeing how timid he was! SILENCE IS NOT CONSENT! Total lack of awareness. Obviously he was not ready to go under water. The deck supervisor was there and she was very condescending saying the top of his head wasn't wet. Like that excuses the fact he is coughing up water sobbing! The very top of his head wasn't wet, but he went underwater without knowing how to hold his breath, causing him to breathe in water, and choke. And she tried to excuse that and invalidate what my son is going through. I immediately took him out of there and spoke with a manager. The deck supervisor proceeded to follow me and again argue and make excuses while I spoke with the manager. I had to tell her stop arguing with me- her attitude was completely uncalled for and unprofessional. I demanded I refund for what I had paid and told them to cancel the membership for I would never return. My son is still crying while all this is happening, he cannot calm down until we leave the building. The manager handled it well and refunded our money, and said it shouldn't have happened. I am astounded there is no communication on where a child is at in thier skill level? And no consistency between the first and second class? Why is this teacher using her hands to put my son underwater when he is not ready, while the teacher last week went slow and never did that, only poured a little water on his head with a toy to get him used to the idea? Awful awful experience overall and I'm so sad my son had to go through that. I feel immense guilt I left him with someone who made him feel unsafe and in danger. He has this negative experience on his swim lesson journey so this has set us back on his progress and willingness to continue else where with swim lesssons. Other parents with brand new swimmers need to be aware of the inconsistencies and lack of communication, as well as instructors with very little experience working with children who are nervous and shy, and starting brand new. Also, this instructor was not the one we signed up with too- it was a different name when I signed up. So be prepared for inconsistency in instructors as well.

Non transparent pricing led to me being charged 175 after taking a single class that didn't work…read morewell despite canceling the next day. The manager was very rude saying how my wife and I were telling different stories, pressuring us into taking other classes, not being clear on whether we would get refunded the extra 120, and then literally hanging up on me

Students can do all their work online at their own pace with additional help from teachers whenever they need to along with help from tutors.

This online school is extremely flexible and amazing for anyone who wants a calmer pace for schooling.

We love West Point Ballet! We first met Ms. Juliana at a free ballet class at the library and she's…read morejust so amazing with little kids. My 5 year old daughter has been in ballet with her for over a year now. She knows ballet terminology. She knows her first through fifth foot positions. She practices at home because she loves it so much. I'm also pretty paranoid about covid but feel comfortable sending my daughter here because masks are required and there are taped areas for each dancer to keep them away from each other. There is also a Zoom option for each class!

I highly recommend West Point Ballet Academy for anyone looking for high-quality classical ballet…read moretraining at any age. Juliana (the owner) has extensive experience and it shows. The rest of the staff is also very experienced and great with the kids. The studio has been great in handling covid, keeping socially distanced class and online options available for every class so that quarantine or not, all kids can keep stay connected and participate. Juliana has built a strong sense of community at the studio among the dancers and dancers' families. I appreciate that it is a positive environment and was at a lower cost point than Ballet West while providing (in my opinion) more hands-on and personable teaching to the dancers. I don't know what I would do without WPB and I highly recommend!

I can't share enough good about the Goldfish Swim School in American Fork. My daughter suffers from…read moreanxiety for just about everything and getting her to try and swim alone or do just about anything in the water is near impossible so we decided to try swim lessons to see if we could boost her confidence and after just one lesson I am happy to say her confidence in the water has never been higher. I don't know why formal lessons was the key to getting her to feel comfortable in the water but I guess it was. This location in particular has all of the amenities you need at a swim school; changing rooms, showers, blow dryers, swimsuit dryer, ample seating from the viewing area. They have everything. The staff is also very kind and understanding. We worked with Brittany at the front when we arrived and she walked us through everything we need to know and then my daughter worked with Ben in the water. They were both very patient with us and our high needs child. We cannot recommend this place enough.

We spent 6 years at Studio 56. Starting year 5, is when I noticed a slight change from prior years…read morebut I shrugged it off and enrolled my kids for the next season. This time around was extremely frustrating; the level of communication regarding charges, dance attire and concert info was insufficient and unorganized but the lack of consideration specifically towards my daughter was quite ridiculous. She started not wanting to go to class every week and I brought this up because it was concerning and out of character for her. They made her feel "special" for two classes thinking that would do the trick but pretending to care about a child's feelings didn't last long. When I finally made the decision to pull both kids from the studio, instead of accepting that, I was questioned multiple times as to why. That's when things really changed. I was no longer acknowledged- not even looked at- by anyone at the studio. Every time my kids would get in the car after class, they would mention how they can't wait for dance season to be over. After 6 years and paying well over $8,000- my kids did not receive a "goodbye," "thank you," or a "nice knowing ya"- NOTHING from a SINGLE person at this place. It's funny how people at a "highly" rated business will change once you decide to stop utilizing their services. My kids wanted a break from dance because this last year was clearly awful. When they decide to start dancing again, we won't come back to this place. If you're looking for a dance studio, I recommend doing some research because there are more reputable dance studios out there.

I went in and spoke with the owner and knew right away this was the studio for us. The owner and her teachers are amazing, they don't tolerate "mean girls" and my girls have always felt loved when they are dancing. The studio offers jazz, hip hop, ballet, tumbling, Company teams etc so my girls have been able to try everything. My oldest tried a year at Tanner Dance with a friend and the whole time complained and wanted to go back to Elite. My girls have learned flexibility, amazing technique, self esteem and the art of performing. We love all the teachers. Jill has been with my girls from the beginning, she is a fabulous teacher. Shannon has also been fantastic. It's in a great location, you can drop off your kids and run to the grocery store, wash your car or pop into Caputo's! The owner and staff have always been available to address any questions I have and go the extra mile to ensure my daughter is the best dancer she can be. I'm looking forward to another six years at Elite!
