In May, 2008 I signed up for Waltz & Polka dance lessons. I wanted to be able to dance in the…read moreaisles during André Rieu concerts at what is now Comerica theatre. Carolyn was my instructor through all my lessons. For MEeee, having the same instructor was a plus. Carolyn moved me along at a pace comfortable for MEeee & by the end of the lessions I felt competant to give my dance partners a strong lead in Waltz & Polka dance steps. Carolyn was punctual & encouraging at each & every lesson. And in the background was Holly, monitoring both her instructors & their pupils. I did, in fact, dance in the aisles during André's 2009, 2011, & 2013 Phoenix concerts. At the end of my lessons I was given a "thank you, going away card" that was signed by all the dance instructors & by Holly, the owner of this franchise in Phoenix. It is a card I cherish. I highly recommend the Phoenix Arthur Murray dance studio if you want expert dance instructors that taylor your lessons for you, whether you are a beginner or an already accomplished dancer wanting to improve. I retired in January 2014 & moved to Reno, Nevada.

I bring my 6 year old daughter here. They practice in private rooms in the back where you cannot…read moreview them at all. My daughter really likes ballet and hasn't complained so I am torn to write this review but I don't think we will be coming back here. This is our third dance studio experience due to moving. The reasons for my review are this: First- the front desk lady is pretty rude... all the time. I don't think she is happy to be there. I think she manages it. Second- you cannot see or watch your child. You cannot watch them practice. I personally want to have eyes on her and watch her practice and she wants me to watch as well, it's exciting. This may be great for older children and adults to avoid distraction but I don't find it convenient for young kids. Third- mask mandate has been discontinued for some time and they enforce it. They enforce the kids and anyone in the lobby to wear one. Instead of asking nicely, it's more of a snarl "you need a mask to be in here, ugh!" Topped off with a glare and eye roll. Fourth- The lobby is small and I have always had to stand up waiting for her to be finished so I end up just sitting in my car.... not like I can watch her anyway. Fifth- the parking lot is extremely small it's very annoying. You will more than likely park on the main road. Not reason to stop coming here, but it's quite frustrating. Sixth- instead of telling me or teaching me how they want her hair to be done they scolded me in front of the entire lobby about how she needs to re do my daughters hair because the bun I had it in won't hold.... don't let your child come in with one of those donut bun thingies. I spent all that time putting her hair into a perfect freaking bun... how am I supposed to know if you don't tell me? Needless to say she was very annoyed. Maybe this is all routine for ballet but I have found it to be somewhat a toxic atmosphere so why would I want to come back? It isn't inviting at all. All of the teachers have been great with professional demeanor, smiles and always kind. Maybe they want to be super professional and this is why it's like this. I'm sure they'll come back and say "ballerinas need to be prim and proper and without distraction." So if that's what you're looking for then this may be the place for you. Be ready to park on the main road and have no where to sit. I just want to bring my little kiddo to a fun place to start learning technique. None of the other places have been like this. It's weird to see such a lack of friendly customer service. We will find a new ballet studio or a new activity.

This school unfortunately didn't work out for my family. We had some serious issues, and leaving…read morehas pretty much been a horrifying experience. If a response from the company is posted here, and I assume one will be, please just remember I don't gain from writing an honest review about my experience. My kid is only 5, we danced with the school for a while and we were unhappy there. We left, no real loss. One thing I will share is that my daughter has very poor vision and wears glasses. I was asked by the director to have her dance without her glasses because it throws off the aesthetic of the performances. She's 5, and it's a safety issue so of course I refused. Plus, my daughter is beautiful and unique with her glasses and quite frankly only added beauty to the stage. I will also state that I was in the room multiple times when free t-shirts were offered for google and Facebook reviews. It's easy to notice a pattern of review spikes during that timeframe. This has been refuted by the school, however I was present during the offer.

Amazing school. This dance school is the true definition of community, culture, and…read moreprofessionalism. The school numerous times has gone above and beyond for not only my family but others.

The jewelry made simple classes with Robert are awesome! He is super knowledgeable about his craft,…read morehe's been making jewelry since he was in high school. He calls you before the first class to check in and see what you're looking to get out of the class, which really personalizes the whole experience for you. The beginner class is 6 people for three hours, which lets you get a decent amount of 1 on 1 instruction when needed. You start out making bracelet cuffs and transition into rings and pendants after two classes. Copper & brass are free to use and silver is extra $$. Once you know you're going to start rings, I would go and buy your stones from S&J because it'll be cheaper!

Sexually assaulted by Kyryl at Fred Astaire. My wife and I scheduled an intro session at the…read moreArcadia Studio last night. Soon after arriving and meeting Kyryl (one of our dance instructors) we notice the vibe is off. He is rude and slurring his words. We continue on with the tour and meet Andre (our second instructor) who was perfectly polite and professional. After some discussion regarding our upcoming event and layout, we start the class. Both my wife and I could smell alcohol on Kyryl's breath. He continued to be rude. Kyryl was partnered with my wife and I was with Andre. A few minutes into the actual class I see Kyryl slap my wife's butt - hard. I was in shock and could not believe this was happening. I asked to dance with my wife because I didn't want Kyryl touching her or close to her anymore. We maintain some semblance of calm and don't address the inappropriateness head on - my wife and I were both in shock. Just a few minutes later Kyryl slaps me the same way. At that moment, my wife exclaims: "that is not okay, consent matters, please stop." To be clear, we wanted to choreograph a dance to a ballad - there was no explicit moves requested. We left shortly thereafter. Although Andre didn't do anything inappropriate, he stood by and watched as his colleague violated us. This is not okay; it's harassment and completely outside of respectful, professional, legal behavior.

The seats were very comfortable and the quality of acoustics was fantastic. Make sure you take a clear bag or a small purse (8.5" x 5.5") as they do have a bag policy. Large purses and backpacks are not allowed. They also use metal detectors and have security screening. I'd definitely love to go see another performance here.
