    Stage Door IS THE PINNACLE of dance in Sarasota. The word that comes to mind is "EXCELLENCE." My…read morechildren attend hip hop and mini flip hop classes at Stage Door. Their teachers are kind and patient. The staff in the front office is very helpful l, courteous and welcoming. The staff's professionalism is unparalleled. Upon spending any time at the facility, it will be evident that Stage Door Studios is a well-oiled machine. The viewing area is perfect for parents & families wanting to spectate. It is ample space with comfortable seating and screens for viewing dancers working hard and having fun in each studio. There is also a thoughtful children's area with child-friendly furniture and a tv showing children's programs. Every aspect of our experience thus far seems to have been carefully curated to cater to the comfort and enhance the enjoyment of the entire family. We LOVE Stage Door!

    My children danced at Stage Door for 6 years (first recreationally and then competitively) and…read moreloved it for a long time. But 3 years into dancing for one of their competitive teams, my children were kicked out of the studio with just a month left to go in the season. They were unable to perform at recital, or at their final competition, and 3 months later the studio has still not refunded the money I paid for services unrendered (summer classes, a convention, unused recital costumes etc) and they will not respond to my emails. The reason for dismissing my 1st and 4th graders? I took them to a private lesson at another studio for additional training and the owner didn't like that. Dancers as young as 5-6 years old are made to sign a contract if they want to dance at competitions with the team. Initially I didn't think much of this but by the third year (and as my second daughter was entering the youngest competition team) I started to have concerns about the stifling nature of it. Essentially, I walked into Stage Door with a 4 year old child in 2016, and before I knew it I was locked into some kind of situation where they would be penalized for even looking at other studios . (By the way, I didn't sign the contract last year but they held me to it anyway.) We stayed a couple years longer than we should have because the kids made friends and didn't want to leave them. If it weren't for that we would have left sooner. As things often do, it all worked out for the best. My girls and some of their previous teammates have found a new studio which they absolutely love and I'm confident that this new studio has their best interests at heart. I'm so excited for their future in dance and it's a relief to know they're training with adults who care about them. Stage Door is a large studio that shows well. It's big, offers a lot of class times for young kids and when you aren't yet enmeshed in the dance world you don't see the red flags. I certainly didn't. My advice, if you're looking for a dance studio, is to sit down with the studio owner and really find out what they're all about. Ask questions. Talk to parents of older kids. Talk to the studio owner at length. I probably talked to the studio owner at Stage Door for less than 20 minutes combined in 6 years. At our new studio, I've talked to the studio owner for hours on end and we've only been there a few months. It's night and day. Just do your homework.

    We had a disastrous experience with Art and Soul Dance over the last year…read more Coming from a great studio to Art and Soul, we had the following observations. The owners are not open to feedback. If you provide feedback, your child is likely to be cut from dances or have their role limited. The owners of this studio focus more on emotionally traumatizing their dancers than teaching them skills. It was not uncommon for dances to change at the last second before competitions leading dancers to be unsure and nervous going onstage. Calling out dancers in front of their peers to do better was also not uncommon. The owners will tell you whatever you want to hear to sign up including what classes they offer. This will change once the season starts. Teacher turnover is high here. The one teacher we felt was strong, the ballet teacher, has moved on. We have had to ask the studio multiple times for pins earned and judge feedback from competitions. They refused to provide them. We question the accounting at this studio. All payments are made out personally to the owner. This seems odd for a business and we were never quite sure of the accounting. If you are looking for a studio that builds up your child's confidence and love of dance, this is not it. If you are looking for a studio where the owners are approachable and open to feedback, this is not it. If you are looking for a studio that is chaotic, mismanaged and where your child comes home questioning if they want to dance anymore, this is probably the studio for you. I would caution anyone looking to put their child in dance at Art and Soul to do lots of research and look past the positive reviews that will be fabricated to bury this one.

    All of the teachers and staff have been amazing since we joined the team this summer! As newbies…read morethey have been so welcoming! Even after hours of being at the studio, our daughter still comes home saying she has fun! We are so happy we found them!

    Save your money, steer away from this place. Wasted 8 month on training in this studio. Right…read morebefore the competition which I have paid $1500 for I was told that they have a new policy (which was never introduced to me) where I have to pay for 2 male partners/instructors. When asked if I could have a female as a second instructor the answer was NO, you can have a female, but there MUST BE 2 MALES. Refused to pay for 2 males, they have canceled my bronze program agreement with them (which violated my Student Agreement). Asked for refund of paid $1500 for the competition which they have canceled the entry to. As result, they have come up with bunch of paperwork excuses (also have been told that they will pay it over 90 days in 3 different checks). Received the paperwork for the refund which forces you to give up all of your rights holding them responsible for anything. If you value your time and money you will not get involved with this studio. Management are bullies, they do not respect Fred Astaire agreement they are signing with you, rude and unprofessional with questionable morals. The owner making remarks to me about using a cocaine infused tea on the trip to Peru (where another "competition" was to be held).

    Buyer beware! My wife and I attended this location in 2018 to prepare for our wedding. The dance…read moreinstruction was solid, no complaints there. Unfortunately, they hard-sold us a package deal that included far more lessons than required. It was incredibly emotionally manipulative - either I ruined my bride-to-be's excitement or we overpaid significantly. It was so obvious and slimy, but you can guess which option I went with. Life ended up taking us out of Florida and nowhere near any Fred Astaire studios, so I called to discuss a refund for our unused lessons. Would you believe that it's not in their policy to refund unused lessons? Shocking, I know! The whole thing is so unethical and, sadly, predictable. If you're going to go, pay by the lesson! Don't let these crooks steal your money too.
