I danced at Planet Dance for several years and ultimately left because of how poorly I was treated…read more Meghan showed favoritism, pulled students from routines for arbitrary reasons, and made inappropriate comments -- including telling me I was "too old to cry." Dancers whose parents were heavily involved were prioritized over talent or effort. In one routine, I had less than an eight-count of actual dance but still paid full costume and competition fees. When my mother raised concerns, Nancy (owner at the time) brushed her off and said I "needed to be a team player." Competitions were also mishandled -- rehearsal hours were underreported to place dancers in lower divisions for a competitive advantage. After posting my Google review, Planet Dance dismissed it as "misinformation." I emailed the studio asking what was inaccurate and received no reply. I've attached that email and video clips showing Meghan harshly criticizing dancers and enforcing excessive conditioning -- this was a regular, belittling environment. To the owners: refusing to acknowledge concerns doesn't erase what happened. Planet Dance wasn't just a studio -- it was a huge part of my childhood. Trauma doesn't have a timeline. I see it every day in my old photos and memories. Nobody can tell me how to feel or when to stop speaking on it. If you think I'll stay quiet, you're wrong. I have every right to tell my story.

It shows how this business is ran, we put an order in for competition and never received all items. We were constantly buying items that we were told was a part of the uniform fees etc.... overall could have been great however the ownership seemed to be the downfall.

Terrible first experience with Magnolia, the teachers did not treat my child appropriately and were…read moreextremely rude and unkind to my 5 year old. Our family recently moved to Summerville (one week ago) from IL. Dance is very important to my daughter and I wanted her to be involved right away to help with the transition. In the months leading up to our move I emailed several times, called and left voicemails and once we arrived I tried to stop by the studio. All of our attempts went unanswered so I enrolled my daughter in a class and camps and figured I would meet the teachers at drop off. The teachers arrived 5 minutes before class and there were several other parents with questions and complaining emails go unanswered. The teacher said to me that the owner, Ms Christy, is not at the studio often and hard to get in touch with. My daughter had a terrible experience with the teachers that were in the class within the first few minutes and ultimately I pulled her out of the class and she will not be returning. I'm very disappointed with this experience as the reason we chose this studio was because of their promise to build confidence, character and self esteem, but this could not be further from the truth.

She's only 2 years old, but is picking up some dance moves quickly at Dance Moves and it's improving her coordination. She loves going to class and loves her teach Miss Amy. The studio is nice and clean and all the teachers have been really friendly. I can't wait until they have their first recital. At first I thought it was going to cost a lot to get her dance lessons, but Dance Moves is very affordable. The fee is only $50 a month and that includes one class per week. The first month is $70 because it includes a $20 registration fee.

I think they have a good system of where they have stations split up and have modifiers for people who can't perform certain exercises. The class I took was fun, good coach and friendly staff. While I don't see myself spending that much money monthly for a gym like this, I do respect what they do and that the people who work their are genuine and create an environment that helps people feel comfortable and challenging. The classes are accommodating to all walks of life!

If you would like experience from a client who attended of over a year, please contact me. Cons: -When I advanced to a certain level, the price increased -Only had one day to chose from for a level 4 class at one point which was inconvenient if you had to miss a class and needed to reschedule because you would have to reschedule for a level 1, 2, or 3 class which was cheaper than the level 4 class -- so you ended up paying extra for a level 2 class. -No refunds offered (As a military member with a constantly changing schedule and deployments, this created an obstacle and caused me to miss a lot of events offered as I did not want to loose out on alot of money to reserve a spot only to be deployed, which ended up happening once due to the owner changing the date of an event)

We made reservations for a private class for a bachelorette party over a month ago. At that time we…read moremade a deposit over the phone. We arrived promptly at our scheduled time and no one was present. We called the number and the manager/owner who takes care of bookings answered. She advised us that another party cancelled so she told her staff to "bounce." She said she would call us back. After five minutes we tried to call her again and it went straight to voicemail. She finally called us back and advised someone would be there in ten minutes and that she would give us a discount. Our instructor Amber showed up 15 minutes after the call. She let us in the building and there was a lot of confusion in the paperwork that needed to be signed. She appeared to not actually work there, it was more like she was called last minute. When it came to the payment we were required to give our card information the owner over the phone. She also added another fee for processing a card- twice without notice. This fee was not required at the time of the deposit. So I believe they were just trying to obtain as much money as they could since they were giving us a discount for their mistake. After we got started there was not any structure to how we were being taught. It consisted of us watching her more than anything. When we booked the class we were told it would be pole dancing, chair dancing, and twerking. We did not get taught all three, just pole dancing, if you could call it that. Amber was very sweet but we ended up cutting the class short because we were not satisfied with the class. Do yourself a favor and watch a YouTube video at home!
