We tried this dance studio for my daughter, who is 3 years old. She was in the Twinkle Toes…read moresession. Ultimately, I decided to pull her out because I didn't feel that 30-minute classes for $85 a month were worth it, especially considering the commute we have to make to get there. Classes are twice a week Monday and Saturday and I also wasn't very impressed with the program itself. It didn't feel like much of a dance class. It was more like the kids were running around to songs. There was some bubble blowing, and in one class, the instructor even read a book. I was hoping for more structure and actual dance instruction. I also made the mistake of purchasing a dance outfit and shoes from their storefront because I thought my daughter would need a uniform. However, on the first day of class, I was told that her age group didn't require one. A couple of days later, I saw the order status change to "ready for pickup," but when we went to get it, we were told nothing was there. I kept trying to call, but no one ever answered only a text thread for follow-up. I continued checking, but nothing was ever actually ready. When we decided to cancel on 5/2, I had already been billed $85, and we still didn't have her outfit or shoes. I reached out via text that Saturday (since they don't answer the phone) and didn't hear anything back. I followed up again on Sunday (5/3) and still got no response. Finally, on Monday (5/4), I heard back and was asked to fill out a cancellation form. After submitting the form, I was told the outfit had arrived and that I could come pick it up. I responded the same day asking if the outfit could be refunded, but I never received a reply. Keep in mind, the outfit is branded with their dance logo. Since we canceled, there's really no reason for us to keep it especially because the class we were in didn't even require uniforms. Wednesday and Thursday passed with no response. Finally, I reached out again early Friday morning asking for a follow-up. I received this response: "Hello! Sorry about the delay. I have reached out about your refund and am just waiting to hear back. I'll keep you updated!" Then later, I was told, "Unfortunately, we don't issue refunds, but we can apply that amount to your account for future purchases." Future purchases after we just canceled the membership. Overall, if you have a child under 4, I wouldn't recommend this studio. And if you value communication and good customer service, I also wouldn't recommend it. I feel like a lot of this could have been avoided if they had clearly explained what the classes involve, what the kids would actually be doing, the dress code requirements, and their no-refund policy upfront. I'm going to attach the text thread so you can see how every time I call and don't answer they send an automated text message.

I was invited to a Country Western Club several months ago, it had been over 25 years since I went…read moreto a club to dance, and really enjoyed myself, but decided that if I was going to continue, I needed to take lessons so that when I did dance, I could do it with a little bit of grace and a lot more confidence. Thus started my journey to find a dance studio and instructor to get the dance lessons I so badly needed. After researching what was available, I found that the well-known franchises were ridiculously overpriced and they pushed hard to sign me up for hundreds of dollars of instruction packages. I then decided I would be able to learn quicker with less people and I would have no chance of being recognized and embarrassed, so I decided to go with private lessons verses group lessons. I then started inquiring about dance instructors who knew what they were doing, and did private lessons that were affordable for the average person. It did not take long before I had a few candidates, after my interviews, I selected Jeannie Tucker, as I felt Ms. Tucker met the criteria I was looking for. I started with County Western lessons with Ms. Tucker (Jeannie) several months ago, and from that first lesson I knew I had made the right choice. Jeannie was warm, friendly, and made me feel comfortable. After a brief discussion to identify what my present goals were, we discussed how she felt we should proceed (with me, It was at the beginning, the very beginning). Entering her private studio I could see pictures on the walls of her performing as a little girl to the professional performer/instructor she is today, numerous trophies, awards, ribbons, etc., that she was and still is a highly gifted performer, dancer and instructor. Jeannie truly believes "If Dancing is YOUR Passion, then Teaching You is MINE" a quote on her business card. After just a few lesions, one of the things I appreciated was Jeannie's methodical process of step-by-step direction and teaching of the basic steps. She told me, and as I learned, the basics, if done properly and practiced, would be the foundation for everything that would follow. In addition, if I became proficient at the basics, that adding new steps and combining them would be much easier, and retention greater. Boy, am I glad we spent that time, evening though I wanted to proceed quicker because I want to move on to the more exciting moves, I am so glad she did not let me, because it truly is making me a better dancer, and when those basic become instinct the rest is easier to learn. During my lessons I found Jeannie to be warm, friendly, supportive, caring, and within just minutes she put me at ease, relieving my anxieties. I felt that she was not just teaching me the steps, but showing me the importance of being a strong leader, emphasizing proper form and technique, and her instructions were clear and easy to understand. She was patient with me, willing to explain things over and over. With her instruction, encouragement and patience, my movement improved to the degree that I started gaining more confidence in myself, and on the dance floor in public. I still have miles to go, but I know I'll get there faster and easier with Jeanie steering the way. Dale Wright Tucson, AZ
