We really like Ms. Nikki & the dance studio a lot. The only challenges that presented themselves…read moremultiple times were the following: (1) The favorite students & their families were obvious & (2) If you choose not to become a program student, (competitive), then there's not enough attention paid to your child's dance abilities. Many of the favorite dancers are teen competitive ones & those dancers are highlighted by this studio repeatedly on social media & in photos, for example. Also, the number of students of color are minimal. However, we gave this studio 4 stars as a result of customer service, dance skills, numerous types of dance lessons & organization.

I've heard they have a wonderful program as she advances so I'm looking forward to seeing where it takes us!

They have three dance studios (not small, IMO, referring to the other review here....) and a host of fantastic teachers. We have been at the dance center with three dancers for 12 years.

I have tried calling for 6 months to get help with signing my daughter up for dance classes. No one…read moreever answers the phone or calls you back. I don't know how many messages I left but it was too many not to be acknowledged at all! My last message stated if no one calls me back, I will look for other dance studios in the area. That was over a week ago and no response. It says you can sign them up over the website but I am needing to help to see which class she belongs in. I guess we are going to Dynamic Edge Dance. I have never had an issue with getting assistance there. We just wanted something closer to home.

This is my first pilates class so I don't have anything to compare it to but I enjoy the workout…read moreand the instructor is the owner, who is fun. I stretch in places I never thought I needed to and workout areas that normally do not get moved around that much. All of this is done without "breaking" me. It is a warm and inviting environment as I am NOT in shape but I have been here 5 times and have felt improvement each time I come. They have a deal for new people which is crazy good so it is worth at least giving a try. They are in the same building as "Just Dancing." TLDR: Worth at least trying. A non-judgmental environment. Good teacher. Off of Manchester near old Staples building near 141.

One day last month, I randomly decided to just DO SOMETHING. Anything! And I found Just Pilates STL. I was intimidated signing up, because I had no idea what I was getting myself into. The inner (and outer, lol) chubby kid within me hates working out around others, but I thought I'd give it a go. Immediately upon walking in the studio for the first time, Natalie greeted me with a huge smile and loads of encouragement. She helped me realize it's okay to meet your body where it's at, and you don't have to be perfect right away...you just have to try. I have never felt so at home so quickly, where I'm welcomed and wanted. Each class since, I am greeted with that same enthusiasm, both from Natalie and the other classmates. We all share one goal: healthy movement. Nobody in the class is trying to outdo you, they're focused on themselves! If you're like me, and you do not like being perceived while working out, but you also hate going to the gym...this is for you. I promise it is NOT scary whatsoever, it is probably the thing I am most grateful for finding in 2025. Thank you Natalie and crew, I am so so grateful for you and this studio!!!!

From the owner: It was 1949 when Lucille Rapp started teaching dance in her basement and holding recitals in her…read morebackyard. As her business grew she realized she needed a bigger space and eventually moved to our current location in downtown Kirkwood. Lucille Rapp's daughter, Susie, was a dancer herself and enjoyed a successful performance-based career before taking over the family business. Our current director, Vicky Stricker, joined the teaching staff in 1983 and when Susie was ready to take a step back from running things, Vicky eagerly stepped in.
