I do not recommend this academy. In February we signed up for our daughter. By then we were a bit…read morelate for the sign up for summer recital so we couldn't. So whenever they practice for the recital my daughter was made to feel very left out. The instructor told my daughter that she can do stretches or do whatever she wanted or join the dance. Fact that the instructor pointed that out made my daughter felt like she didn't belong. Paying for the recital or not, every tuition paying dancer should be part of the routine. They have my credit card in their system and charge automatically every month which in the beginning we appreciated because we didn't have to remember to pay or wait for a bill and all that hassle. However, this academy not once sent out updates or announcements of any kind. I checked my spam/junk mail as well as regular mail. They say they do send email but we never got it. Suddenly tuition increased by $30 this month. Also we just found out there is an annual registration fee although there was no additional need for any type of "re-registration." They just simply charge it every July. The reason it's not a 1 star is because after the issue arises they refunded this month tuition smoothly as we decided to pull my daughter from this academy. And while there my daughter didn't mention other issues aside from feeling excluded from the Moana dance. We got quoted with another academy close by for our daughter where tuition is a lot more reasonable and she will be starting there soon.

Returning to dance as an adult after growing up in the competitive dance world can be extremely intimidating. The studio culture at KRD is incredibly welcoming, and I have made lifelong friends while attending classes. The instruction at KRD can only be described as caring and artistic. The instructors have a deep respect for individual expression and growth. Encouragement is constant, and every class feels intentionally structured to challenge you while still being enjoyable. I always feel supported while taking class. Kelela Rose Dance has truly become a creative home for me, and I am so appreciative of the work done by Kelela and her staff to foster a warm and welcoming environment for dancers returning to the art as adults!

A few of her friends have joined too, and they all enjoy not only dancing together at the studio but also creating their own routines outside of class with the moves they've learned. One of the most exciting parts has been the performances. My daughter got to dance at the fair, and the studio is already preparing for a special Christmas event! These opportunities have boosted her confidence and made her love of dance grow even more. Miss Becca and Miss Bailey are so fun and encouraging, and Miss Marilyn, the owner, is truly special. she's compassionate, genuine, and patient with both the students and the parents. You can tell she pours her heart into this studio, and it really shows. We're even planning a private birthday event here for my daughter and about 20 of her friends, and she is absolutely thrilled. We're so grateful to have found this studio. It's more than just dance, it's a community. If you're looking for a studio where your child will grow, build friendships, perform at fun local events, and truly love learning, I can't recommend this one enough!

It's always fun to see new people come in and go, but the most important thing is that confident is key and if you don't have that confidence you won't have confidence in your dance. I've been going to this dance classes for three or four months and I've been loving it. I've been excited to go every day to learn something new or add more onto our dance. I can't wait to learn something new after we're done with this dance, but I just love the fact that they put effort to teaching us and making us smile and laugh every time we're there I love this educational center and I would recommend this if you're wanting to learn dance because they would make you feel welcome and comfortable even if you are new they will treat you the same that they treat the other students that's been going there I can't wait till next week to go back and see my dance teacher and my friends that make me laugh and smile and make me confident and make my dancing confident.

3 stars for our limited trial experience (Would've preferred to not mark any but Yelp requires star…read morerating in order to post a comment). We only attended one Mini K-pop trial class and did not enroll, but I'm sharing our experience to help families decide whether this studio may be a good fit. TLDR version: Based on our trial, the studio told us it did not have the capacity or specialized experience to support my child's ASD-related needs. It may be a better fit for children who can participate independently, follow a structured class format, and are interested in more serious dance training rather than a casual recreational class. Long version: Not leaving a star rating because we only attended one trial Mini K-pop class and were not enrolled clients. I'm sharing our experience to help families assess whether the studio may be a good fit for their child. Before the trial, I emailed the owner to ask whether the class might work for my child, who is on the autism spectrum. He responded promptly and was transparent that the instructors did not have specialized experience or the capacity to provide the level of support my child may need. He still invited us to try a class so both sides could determine whether it was a fit. I accidentally arrived on the wrong week, but the owner was understanding and allowed us to participate. The instructor's teaching style was structured, direct, constructive, and firm while remaining respectful. My child attended with an ABA therapist, who provided reminders, redirection, and support throughout the class. After observing, the owner told me that the studio would not be able to accommodate my child's needs in its regular class environment. He also shared that the level of support required during class could be distracting for the other students. I understand his perspective and appreciate that he was direct rather than allowing us to enroll in a program that was not set up for my child's needs. Still, it stung as a parent. When you see your child making progress at school and in social settings, it is hard to be reminded that some environments may still not be accessible or appropriate for them. During the class, the other children appeared to notice that my child needed more support and was not keeping pace. Our therapist later told me that some children had asked questions among themselves about why my child was different. They are young children, and I do not blame them, the instructor, or the studio. But it was still a difficult moment for me as a parent. There were also a couple of practical reasons the program was probably not the best fit for us: (1) I was looking for a one-day-per-week recreational class, while the front desk staff explained that the program generally expects a two-day weekly commitment so students can practice and retain what they learn. That expectation was not completely clear to me from the website. (2) The class appeared best suited to children who can follow directions independently and who are ready for a more structured, skill-focused dance environment. I was looking for a lower-pressure recreational activity focused more on enjoyment and socialization. Overall, it was not the right fit for our family or the studio's current program structure. Families seeking a structured dance program may have a different experience. Parents of children who need individualized behavioral, communication, or therapeutic support may want to ask in advance about the studio's ability to provide accommodations. The communication style also felt fairly direct and "tough love," which may be worth considering for children who respond better to a gentler approach.

The owner, Shawn, and desk staff are friendly and helpful; always happy to answer questions about levels, styles, and instructors. My go to is Arianna Hyatt. She teaches well rounded true to level classes (read the class description and know thyself). She motivates and encourages dancers to meet their goals, whether that is fun, fitness, training for an audition, getting back to dance after a hiatus, or perhaps all of the above. She provides a supportive environment while offering technique, structure, and a little challenge - if that is what you're after. The community she's cultivated within every class is palpable. If you're a beginning/intermediate or advanced level dancer, looking for ballet, broadway, or tap, definitely check the schedule for her. (Double check the level as she teaches a variety.) If you're on the fence, I'd say find any class that interests you at the studio and give it a try!

Unacceptable. Dangerous. Complete Lack of Responsibility…read more At my toddler's ballet class, the instructor removed my daughter from class to use the restroom and HANDED HER OVER to a random adult I do NOT know - someone who does NOT work for the studio. I was sitting just outside the waiting room door the entire time. Instead of taking a few seconds to find me, the instructor allowed a stranger to take my child into a bathroom stall and begin undressing her. Let that sink in. When I confronted the instructor, her response was shocking: "I don't have time to look for parents." Excuse me? Your convenience does NOT come before my child's safety. This is not a minor issue, it's a major breach of trust and judgment. Handing a child to someone the parent has not approved to take them into a private space is completely unacceptable and potentially dangerous. I don't care if the person was "nice" or "helpful" you never, EVER do this. I stay for every class. The instructor knows that. In today's world, how can anyone think this is okay? What happened tonight could have ended very differently and that is terrifying. Parents, beware. If you value your child's safety, think twice before trusting this studio.

I decided to try this hardcore instead of all the common guys hobbies. you know. guns, cars, PC, sport etc etc I picked this studio because of the schedule and setting. The membership pricing is easier to manage. They have a banging Black Friday Sales (wink) People are very friendly, they may take some times to get familiar with you. I understand, there is alot of people would only show up a few times. The dance instructors are great. They teach the key details even at beginner level. I enjoy the overall studio facilities. They definitely invested some money in that Bathroom haha. 5 stars
