This studio stood out as premier hip-hop Studio! The studio is definitely up with current times including their own now to give you relevant updates.

The pricing is very fair as well! ELEKTRO dance studio is everything!

Dancers used the dining room as their dressing area, with no privacy afforded to them (BTW is it sanitary to have dancers' personal items all over commercial eating areas?). Dads were allowed in the changing areas, too. The dancers were required to haul their rented costumes on foot to and from the studio, next to the busy McKellips road with no supervision from the studio. There was nowhere to park, and we still had to pay our recital fees and admission fees to sit out in the elements. My kid was freezing cold. I paid for a professional recital. I had reasonable expectations that were not met. Where did my money go if we didn't have to pay for an auditorium? The studio is not being maintained. It's falling apart and it is filthy. The only good thing there is Beverly. I wish she'd open her own studio.

I was very young and naive when we joined the studio and was there 6 years from 2016 when they opened until 2021 when we left. We outgrew the studio politics but another side note is we appreciate the experience ad we did learn a lot of what not to do as well as what we did like going forward for what's best for our children. Which we realize does not fit every families list of priorities. Like I said do your research and find what's best for YOUR FAMILY. In a nutshell I do recommend the business but not long term most likely short term. 2.5 stars

You better make sure you check that online newsletter first every little thing because even major events will not be shared via email, posted in facilities or announced. They will also refuse to make their own mistakes right. My son was berated and teased by the teachers kid and I find it hard to believe no one noticed. Your child will not go far or make true friendships here unless they are Morman. It's run as a "not for profit business" by and for the LDS church and every person working there is an unpaid volunteer from the church. I strongly advise taking your kid anywhere else. It will only end in tears.

This may be the perfect dance studio for many students. It was not for my student…read more One of mine is a competitive level dancer with many years experience. He began classes in July when most of the students hadn't started yet. It was wonderful then. He got lots of individualized attention and the teachers were knowledgeable and knew lots of methods that he hadn't encountered before. Once the students returned when school started, everything changed. Focus and structure were gone from the classes. He was unable to try out for the competitive teams being new to the area, but the recreational classes were not able to accommodate his experience. Rules were not enforced. Kids were disruptive. They wore inappropriate clothing both for age and function. Things like bikinis or full length school skirts. And even though the school has a wonderful male instructor and other male students, many kids told my son that he couldn't dance because he was a boy. He felt unwelcome and didn't get the camaraderie and instruction he was used to at his former studio. There is so much potential in this studio, but the lack of discipline and cooperation among students made it a bad fit for my dancer.

The teachers are all very nice! Very sweet to my daughter and I really appreciated that. I wasn't fond of the seating options to watch her dance though. Benches are small and uncomfortable. The dance classrooms have small windows and blinds. It is hard to see in the classroom unless you're standing at the windows and a lot of other parents stand and watch too. Cost for tuition is higher than other studios I've talked to. Almost twice expensive monthly. Class times weren't ideal for us. Wish there was a mid-morning weekday class for her because our evenings are pretty busy and the location isn't super close to our home. I don't want to deal with rush hour traffic. Overall my daughter said class was fine, little boring, so we will continue the search.
