Please don't come here if you actually care about the way your child is treated. Long read but worth it. This was my 5 year old's 1st dance class experience. She is quieter than most kids. She started in February 2025 and her last class was early June 2025. We noticed right away that the instructor, who I believe is the owner, Vienna had little patience with kids but we wanted to stick it out. She is usually running behind on classes so you'll start a few minutes late for a 30 minute class but she makes sure that she's done on time. She's on her phone most of the time & trying to figure out what music to play rather than having it ready before class. When she was showing the kids the recital, she was constantly changing moves & making the dance up on the spot. At the last class my daughter attended, you could tell she wasn't feeling class and not doing her best moves. Vienna kept calling her out and telling the class they had to start over because my daughter was doing it wrong. Naturally, that brought my daughter down & she checked out (understanding since again, she's 5). Vienna kept calling her out the whole 30 minute class then grabbed her arms aggressively to do the move properly, mind you she almost never even acknowledges my daughter the whole time she's been enrolled. My daughter came out very sad telling me she doesn't want to come back & of course I don't want her back there either since I did witness everything. I emailed them the following week letting them know she won't be back & asked when we can get her recital costume since we paid for it & she loves playing dress up. Vienna asked if there was something we can work out so she can do the recital at the end of the month & said we can pick up the costume during open business hours if not. The manager, Camille, who is Vienna's mom called me & left messages. I honestly didn't want confrontation so I figured I would respond once we got the costume with the reason we made this decision. My aunt went to pick up the costume for me & they asked if I can call and confirm that my aunt is allowed to take the costume. When I called and told Camille that it was ok, she asked me what happened. I told her what happened & she got defensive & said kids need to be corrected. I agreed but said not to the extent Vienna went to & my daughter was no longer comfortable coming to their "Housee." She asked what I would do when my daughter was corrected at school & I told her she is already great in school & we don't have issues like this. I then told her that I felt Vienna was aggressive when moving her arms and she said she found that hard to believe. Then Vienna took the phone and said I needed to email that it was ok my aunt take the costume which I was trying to do but then she started yelling and I couldn't even understand what she was saying at this point. I told her I wasn't arguing with her & this is exactly why my daughter wasn't coming back & why I didn't tell them why until I got the costume because I KNEW this kind of situation would happen. My mom took the phone from me and told them this wasn't the time to do this since we were at gymnastics so Vienna put the phone down & Camille hung up on my mom. My aunt was cordial with them the whole time but they were being snippy with her. Then they were talking negatively about a 5 year old while my aunt was right there; saying she never listened anyways (which is not at all true plus she's been in gymnastics a year & has absolutely no issues, never wanted to quit either). Then again infront of my aunt, Camille told Vienna that they shouldn't give my daughter the recital shirt but Vienna said just to give it to her because we paid for it. I've seen and heard them acting this way to kids & parents & was hoping I wouldn't have to do this review but here we are. My family nor my daughter never gave them problems but they don't like being told they're wrong. A simple "I'm sorry you feel that way" would have been fine. Extremely unprofessional & I bet they will respond to this with something passive aggressive like their last negative review. This all just shows what kind of people they are.

It is a very diverse camp, a true melting pot and we were super happy with the families we met.The campers were great. I hear they are quick to kick out campers who misbehave, which I appreciate, but be ready if your little one gets in trouble. The preschoolers must be potty trained. They are not flexible about it!! For the elementary campers, you have to create your child's day by selecting four classes. They have a lot of choices, but register early. The best ones tend to fill up really quickly. I learned that the hard way my first year. I was on top of it last year and my children loved all their classes. My only complaint was the mixed grade classes. Second graders with 4th graders is not always ideal. I have been told they are making it only 2nd and 3rd next year, and adding a 4th and 5th section. I hope it's true. That would ideal. They seem to be very organized. They distribute a lanyard at the start of each session with daily schedule and people authorized to pick-up. It really made it easy for my kids know their schedule. The teachers are great and they have counselors in all the classes with the kids to support the teachers. All and all, I really recommend it. It is miles ahead of the park district as far as offerings. It is a little bit more expensive but for what you get, it is really worth it.

Dance class is the highlight of her week. As a parent I love the focus on movement and skill building rather than always prepping for recitals. For the classes my daughter is in they do a recitals every other year which is perfect because it gives time to work on skills. The older kids are also always so kind and helpful with the younger dancers. We were also at a different studio when our daughter was really young and my wife and I felt the older girls performances and costumes were overly sexualized. The older girls at ADC are outstanding dancers and their performances are always tasteful. We love all the teachers and the delay of community, can't say enough good things about ADC!!

They are totally insensitive to the cultural differences of their students, lack professionalism when speaking to parents and children and isolate children based on their beliefs. Because I didn't want to put my 5 year old in the street walker makeup that was recommended for recital, I was told that my daughter couldn't participate in the group picture because she would not be "uniform and the other parents would complain." I'm sure that other parents are like me and don't care what other children in the picture look like as long as their kid is cute. We are African American and my daughter's hair is not the slick-back-into-a-ponytail kind of hair. They made a point to say that no one should have braids or beads. No beads, I understand. But let's be reasonable about the hair. The teachers constantly talk to the student, not their parent, about things they should not serving to alienate them from their classmates. While they do this, they hide behind the statement that they are "teaching more than just dance steps." Well, they are right about that. They are teaching them that to take a stand for what they believe in could cause them to be ousted from the group and that what they hold as a personal or religious standard is inferior to the need to have uniformity in a group. If you care at all about your daughter's emotional well-being, do not take them to this dance school.
