    For legal reasons, I'm not going to go into detail about my problems with this studio. But I will…read moregive the gist of it: despite being a studio for children, the teachers -more specifically, the two women at the head of the ballet department- aren't very child-friendly. They're both elderly, stereotypical boomer type people, so I think you can imagine what their view of "children these days" is... The actual dance training might be objectively good (if you define 'good' as intense), but 'good training' shouldn't justify yelling at eight-year-olds for not being perfectly obedient and quiet 100% of the time. What I will say though, is that this dance studio feels very elitist. As a dancer who attended this studio for over a year before leaving, I experienced multiple classes where the previously mentioned teachers would go on unprompted rants where they would insult or degrade other local studios. And sometimes they would talk about professional ballet companies this way too! There's being proud of your success, and then there is snobbery. Pride shouldn't justify demeaning others. The ironic thing is that one time they actually started insulting a studio that I had previously been at prior to covid, talking about how "they weren't a ballet studio anymore." This other studio did/does teach ballet, they just had/have a focus on contemporary dance, but they were all around a friendly and accepting studio that I don't have any problems with. I will admit that it seems like this other studio was more ballet focused prior to when I joined, but to my knowledge, the teacher who had said this about them had never actually taught or been there. And regardless of whether what that ballet teacher said was true, that still doesn't justify her poking her nose into the business of another studio that by all accounts, she shouldn't care about. Joke is on that teacher though, because now I've returned to that other studio. In conclusion, this studio gives off very snobbish, elitist vibes, and the teacher-student interactions are very questionable -to put it nicely. I've been to a lot of studios throughout my dance training, but this place was hands down the worst.

    The staff is RUDE, and the entire place gives mean girl snobby vibes. A staff member made a huge…read morescene with me in front of my distressed son due to a policy which they had several opportunities to speak with me about in private. Now they are ignoring my request for a refund.

    Michael was so much fun to work with! A few months before our wedding, my husband and I came to…read moreMichael with four left feet between us, and Michael not only helped us craft a personal and unique first dance, but also helped us feel completely comfortable while doing so. We just had a blast every single lesson. He gave us options for steps and helped us build a dance we were comfortable with, was interesting, and totally customized to our song. He helped us get so comfortable with the steps and, as we got better, gave us tips to improve even more and flourishes to make the dance a bit more engaging for the audience. Having been a part of many weddings, he's full of helpful tips in general for the wedding, like how to walk on and off after the dance, where my husband should go when we transition to father/daughter dance, and to remember to smile especially during the finale. It definitely shows that he has worked with a lot of couples with their wedding dances, but also has officiated weddings himself, so he has so much helpful knowledge! We had so much fun with Michael and wholeheartedly recommend!

Neither of us have any experience with dancing and were basically planning to do the middle school sway before my husband surprised me with these lessons. Michael was fantastic! He was friendly and easy to schedule with and was always there when we arrived. He was very encouraging - helping us to learn dance moves in small segments so we weren't overwhelmed. He would even record us on our phone so we could practice at home. Very reasonable prices as well. Highly recommend!
