My daughter has always dreamt of being a dancer. Once we finally signed her up for hip hop classes…read moreat PCDC, she was so excited too pursue her passion of dance. Her instructor Morgen made her feel very comfortable and more confident. Morgen told my daughter to try out for the competition team and when she got accepted she was absolutely over the moon! Unfortunately there was a miscommunication with a staff member the following recital, which also happened to be her very first performance. She was not told there was a bow at the end of the show, it was her dance teachers first year at PCDC and not even she was informed about this commitment along with many other students. We had other obligations the day of the recital not knowing about the bow. This lead to a staff member rudely stopping my daughter and her friend on their way to the bathroom to change out of there costumes. This woman approached these children with nothing more than a childish attitude. My daughter was being treated like she was dumb for not knowing this information. My daughter maturely stood up for herself causing the staff member too get more upset as her ego got hurt as she has clearly never had a student express there boundary's when it comes to blatant disrespect. I ended up signing my daughter out before the bow so we could attend our other obligations, however I was shocked to see my daughter walking down the hall hysterically in tears unable to calm down or explain the situation.Once we got to the car trying to understand her frustration became too difficult, I decided to go back in the building and ask a staff member what had happened. As I was walking through the doors I heard three employees including the member that caused my daughters tears, all gossiping not only about my daughter but "difficult students" in general. They were invalidating her feelings and minimizing the entire situation. As I admit too speaking in an angerly tone they still showed no remorse too the way they had acted as grown adults. To me this is concerning, considering they work with young children. Once we thought the situation was resolved, our family went along our day as planned, the following months we received no emails concerning the following dance season where my daughter had a place on the competition team. Once august rolled around I decided to call the PCDC office. Once I told them the lack of communication I received and my daughters name, they informed me that she was no longer welcome at the dance company. All summer my daughter was anticipating a fun filled dance season with her competiton team, and we were not once informed about her expell from this company. It worries me that this same staff member still works for PCDC and has every opportunity to continue treating students this way.

It all started with a 4-weeks gift to my wife for her birthday. And after the second week, we were both hooked. We now start level III, and it's exciting to know we will keep learning new moves every week. I surprise myself, choosing to listen to salsa music in the car on my way from work. And pretty much every weekend, we move the chairs to practice on our wood floor, in the kitchen. We even went dancing in town with friends for the first time, and we will repeat that experience. All that to say that you shouldn't hesitate before going ahead and signing on for salsa lessons at Salsaville. Our group of people is great to be with, and stayed more or less the same through the levels so far. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I look forward to it every week.

I have been back stage for many, many performances over the years, and there is so much mutual respect and comraderie. It's beautiful to watch them working together, encouraging each other. We have always felt that the staff of LDT/CSB nailed the balance between letting kids be kids and setting expectations for them to develop as dancers. Our kids feel safe to push themselves and safe to fail here. It's been amazing to watch them grow in their love of dance. As a physician in the community, I have been more than impressed with how they have handled their operations during COVID. They quickly got classes up virtually this spring. When they were able to open this summer, they did so using guidelines that were even more strict than required. I felt totally safe sending my kids to dance there knowing the measures they were taking. Instead of taking the easy road and cancelling their 2020/2021 dance performance season, they went way outside the box and converted to fully filmed performances, including the full Nutcracker. The fact that they are willing to do all this shows how much they love their dancers and the arts and Longmont.

This is not a place I could recommend to other dance families, particularly, of teens. Laura, is a…read morewonderful, warm, kind instructor but unfortunately, she only teachers teens on Friday. The ballet and company instructor was shockingly rude, unkind and controlling. She called out dancers in front of their peers for wearing skin toned tights even though they had been told this was a perfectly acceptable and welcome practice. She forced a very clearly uncomfortable dancer to remove her skirt for ballet class, even though in the past skirts were apparently always ok. It would have been reasonable, if this was a new expectation, to tell the class that in the future, ballet without skirts would be the new expectation. There are a million reasons a young teenaged girl might not be prepared to remove her skirt for class without any warning. She also criticized my daughter's preference elastics on her pointe shoes. My daughter came out of class tearful after being embarrassed in front of her peers at a new school, in a new class. I went in to get clarification on what had taken place. The teacher was extremely defensive, terse and rude. When I asked about my daughter's pointe shoes she basically told me it didn't matter why they chose to wear the elastics. She didn't like it and wanted them to wear ribbons the way SHE wanted. My daughter has been en pointe for 3 years and knows what feels most supportive for her but this teacher did not care, nor did she even ask. We dropped the ballet class after this and also withdrew from company. In the 11 years we've been involved in dance we've rarely come across such a difficult and abrasive instructor. The second reason I would not recommend this school is the exorbitant cost. Most families are very mindful of the cost of dance, particularly with more than one dancer to support. The last reason I would caution others about Centennial is that our family went through a very drastic life change requiring us to possibly relocate to an area of the state that would simply be too far to make the drive. I had paid approx. $1600 dollars up front (a requirement) . We were only there for almost one month. When I learned about our predicament I asked for the tuition we hadn't used (2 months worth) to be refunded to us. They refused. I explained that it was a hardship to lose nearly $1000 for 2 months we didn't dance. No one returned my subsequent messages and we did not ever receive any of that money back. They claim it is their "policy". I have never come across this in 11 years of dance and moving to different states. Life happens! No one plans these things and we certainly didn't. It was upsetting to be treated so callously. There are many schools in the front range area... please do yourself a favor and pass on this one. Shiny brochures and head shots are not an indicator of a high quality program. Our experience has led us to caution other families who want a kind, supportive, inclusive environment, AND one that honors and respects how hard families work to provide their children with a dance education.

I am trying to do new things. I am a traditionally horrible dancer, so I did some looking around…read moreand found the Boulder Swing Dance web site. Classes are cheap ($10 for a drop in class or $35 for a 4-part series) and they start frequently (a new session every month) so I took my chance and jumped in on the next beginner-level class that came up. This was Lindy Hop 1, which meets on Monday nights. Tonight was my first lesson, and I cannot wait to go back next week. I have never danced a real dance before in my life, but John and Shana did a great job explaining everything clearly enough that it always felt natural to move on to the next step. The atmosphere was really relaxed and everyone seemed to have a genuinely good time. It is certainly okay to attend these classes on your own. My friend and I went without partners and a couple of guys stuck around from an earlier class to even things out. Not a big deal at all. I was concerned about not having the comfort of a familiar partner, but that soon was relieved as the class is structured so that every follow dances with every lead at least once. And since it's a "rotate clockwise" arrangement, there's no need to worry that nobody will choose you to dance. You just get the next person in the circle, and then the next. This setup not only eases the awkwardness of choosing a partner, it gives you the opportunity to dance with several people, and all of them will have a slightly different style. You don't learn to dance with your date, you learn to dance with anybody. The studio was a bit hot and everyone got really sweaty but, since everybody was sweaty, it was okay. I highly recommend wearing something comfortable that will allow you to breathe. After just the first session in this series, I feel like I progressed from hopeless to kind of okay at this particular dance, which is way more than I had anticipated. Trying new things is awesome!

The month of July has been a special topics month, instead of their typical progressive series, which has been really fun. I've peeked in on the beginner class a couple of times, and everyone always looks like they're having a blast. All of Boulder Swing Dance's instructors are experienced, friendly and 100% in love with swing dancing. They create a supportive, judgement-free, creative space in which to learn swing. Like many swing dance classes, you don't need a partner, because you rotate partners throughout the class. This means you learn how to dance, not how to dance with your partner. They also put on a twice-a-month social dance, every other Saturday night. It's DJ'd, and so far the DJ's have all been excellent. There is a beginner lesson before every social dance.
