Every teacher that they have had there has been caring, knowledgeable, professional, and patient with the girls. Miss April is so creative with providing extra opportunities to dance like fundraisers, summer camps, the Cary Christmas parade, teas, a daddy-daughter dance, etc... Many GE dancers have earned parts in the NC Ballet's Nutcracker productions. Another thing that we really appreciate about Miss April is her noticeable attention to keeping the girls young ladies by not dressing them like tramps when performing. (Just go to the Cary Christmas parade to see!) In addition to a small, quiet waiting room with closed circuit TV to show the children dancing in the main studio, there is a back room in which you can take young children to watch movies or play, and a nice seating area outside. Located in downtown Cary, it is close to parks and the Cary Public Library. Graceful Expressions is a blessing to my family.

Kay and the faculty are very supportive and attentive to all the kids, regardless of their level. They keep a careful eye on who needs what kind of work and suggest classes accordingly. It's remarkable how well they know each kid, and everything they are dealing with both in and out of dance. They also enforce a policy of all the kids being nice to each other. Everyone applauds for everyone else, everyone thanks the teacher at the end of each class, everyone works hard and is supportive of each other. The studio is growing along with my daughters, so that there are always challenging classes to take and interesting things to learn. They have been given wonderful opportunities not just to perform and to compete, but also to do things like dance at local cultural festivals and for seniors in a care facility. The studio is also very respectful of family time and homework time, and many of their dancers are also honors students in school. My daughters have learned not just how to dance, but how to manage their time, how to be responsible, and how to support and nurture others. If you are considering dance classes here -- you will love it. Come join the Pirouette Dance Company family!

I feel it is important to check service levels not only by using the service, but "interviewing" the potential service provider. Each call resulted in ok service over the phone until this last one. I called CC & Company because I heard that they were one of the best in the area. I think the key here is "in the area". Does not mean best of the best. The classes are not actual dance classes for the little kids. Creative Movement is not something I am interested in. My children can get that at a day care. I want a dance company to provide REAL dance classes. They say that they are not able to teach kids so young. Well I could put well over a thousand youtube links that say that yes younger kids can be taught and be exceptional. Just disappointing that the daytime classes are not available and the variety is truly not there. When I asked the person on the phone for a referral of a studio in Raleigh that taught classes during the day for 4 year olds, she told me that she did not know of any other studios. This company has been open for how long and they don't know of any other companies. Just a tip. Customer service is not just about getting customers to buy from you, but being able to provide them what they need. That is what brings lifetime customers. I say CC & Company needs to really step it up and get with the market of younger children and the talent they have. Get on the same level as Disney, America's got Talent, youtube, and many others who recognize that there is talent before 5.

There's a warm up, ballet moves with lots of props (wands, feathers, ribbons, etc) to make it fun, a classical ballet story time, and a corresponding coloring page to end the class. Moms are welcome to be with kiddos at this age to help them through class. There's a play corner with a kids table, books, and blocks for before and after class, a kid (and baby) friendly restroom, and sitting area for parents too. There aren't as many mirrors as I would expect from a ballet studio (and no barre?) but my kiddo doesn't need either of those.

The food was also reasonably priced and had large portions, which was a nice surprise. They provided free bottled waters to guests as it has been such a hot July. I attended on July 7 with 4 adults. I did pay for a covered chairs for 2 which was worth the price. A disappointment was the rides and pools closed abruptly around 3:30 p.m. due to the threat of rain. While safety always comes first, it ended up not raining at all, so it was frustrating to lose several hours. Also, the staff had no idea and provided little updates when it did close. I wish there were more indoor or covered seating areas to escape the sun and enjoy a meal comfortably and possibly an adult area. I loved the lazee river was able to go around and around and relax. I also enjoy riding the edge it is so thrilling. Also note that on a normal day some rides (located in the back of the park) close an hour earlier than the park's closure and some rides open an hour later after the park opens (soak zone). You do have to pay to park. I had a fun visit and would definitely come back. Hopefully next time the weather cooperates a little better. As most reviews I will be back it is too close to home to not enjoy and next time I will review the food a bit more.

My husband, Jim, and I started dancing at Cary Arthur Murray (CAM) in January 2016. Just a year later we are pretty good (I would say) at a variety of dances, such as Foxtrot, Rumba, Club Swing/Hustle and Salsa. YES I still cannot believe I can Salsa!!!! We have enjoyed working with every person at CAM. It is never a dull moment with David, Mark, Alex, Ali, Ryan and Emily. Jim and I have been blessed to learn from them all! And the people that come and learn, just as we do are all so welcoming. This is truly a dance company that you come to with no fear of judgement or not knowing what to do. Everyone makes you feel welcome. CAM is like a second family to us now, in just the short year we have been dancing. Jim and I highly recommend stopping by the studio for a lesson or even just to window "shop" and see the excitement and fun everyone is having inside!!! See you there! read more

Love dancing here! My husband and I started a year ago here and have learned so much! I especially like their teaching system. You learn to do a certain step in one style of dance, and then they show you how you can do it in many other styles. For instance, we learned a turn in Swing, and turned around and used it in Rumba, and Cha Cha, and Waltz too! We have enough basic knowledge at this point that we can dance to anything anywhere with confidence. Its a skill we will use for the rest of our lives. read more

They are both very enthusiastic and fun. I already knew salsa myself, so I learned to lead for the beginner level, then switched to follow for the next level of class.

Non Buyer Beware -My 68 year old mom went with a friend of hers to this studio for a "Bring a…read moreFriend" night. She had a nice time but had no intention of pursing lessons she was there just supporting a friend. After the class ended Paul approached her with a contract and began the sales pitch. Which you know I get it, you are trying to get business. My mom politely declined several times. I'm not sure if Paul misses social cues or is just not used to women saying no but he then got completely inappropriate. He asked her if she was declining because she had body issues then proceeded to tell her she must not love herself all because she wouldn't sign up for his stupid dance classes. Really? She's almost 70. This is a pathetic sales tactic, how dare you make women feel bad about themselves for saying no to you. If you did this to my mom I'm sure it's being done to other women once you can't make money off them. Do better.
