Highlights: - App is easy to use to cancel, use make up tokens, change classes - you know exactly where your kid is at within his level - the teachers are always progressing your child. If your child is really strong in one area, but needs to stay in the level until they pass a different milestone, I've still seen them work on the stronger areas at a higher level. This is huge to me!

We did have to stop for the time being due tuition being a little pricey. They do offer scholarships, but that is only for children 3 and older.

I honestly regret spending my money at DansWest Dance Studio…read more The tuition is ridiculously expensive for Tucson, especially considering the quality of teaching. Paying around $100 a month for ONE class is already outrageous, and if your child actually wants enough instruction to improve, you're expected to pay for another class too. That can easily become around $200 a month, which is not realistic for a lot of families. My biggest problem was the Acro Level 2-3 class with Miss Dani. In my opinion, the class was nowhere near the level it was supposed to be. Most classes were spent doing conditioning, stretching, splits, and backbends instead of actually teaching intermediate acro skills and proper technique. Students who were ready to learn more weren't getting the instruction they needed. The wristband system also made no sense to me. I watched students receive higher-level wristbands even though they still struggled with basic skills, while other students with stronger technique didn't seem to get the same recognition. From my experience, the standards didn't feel consistent. I also felt there was obvious favoritism toward some competition team students. I even watched one student receive opportunities that, in my opinion, didn't match the skill expectations that seemed to apply to everyone else. I will not name the student but his name starts with a G. However I don't blame the student--that isn't their fault. My issue is with how the studio handled it. The owner has always been kind whenever I've spoken with her, and I genuinely think she's a nice person. However, I believe she needs to take a closer look at what's happening in some of these classes. The inconsistent teaching, confusing evaluations, and what I experienced as unequal treatment are problems that shouldn't be ignored, especially when families are paying so much money. For the prices this studio charges, I expected much better instruction, better organization, and fair treatment for every student. Based on my experience, I can't recommend DansWest Dance Studio.

Jolting their arms and legs into position, not very happy with how my child is being manhandled. COUNTING: It's a Korean sport, why are they having the students count in Spanish? Accommodating the Spanish population? There are many other populations of languages that aren't being accommodated to. Korean is most appropriate. OWNER: Big guy likes to talk over his employees and shout out from his office correcting them- not too professional. FACILITY: Smells like a freshly opened bag of Doritos. Wish they'd open the back door for some cross breeze when the weather permits. Nice people, room to improve.

Five stars. My oldest child has been attending Playformance since preschool, with birthday parties…read moreand so many different programs, and now as a teen she still loves it just as much, possibly even more, than she did back then. The coaches create such a positive environment, not just in terms of being supportive and the act of teaching, but I would argue their even more important work is being positive role models for empathy, frustration tolerance, and working through hard things. They teach kids how to work with people who might believe differently than they do, or who might just rub them the wrong way, and they've built a truly inclusive environment with programs for all ages and abilities. Kids learn to face their fears in a supported way, how to scaffold experiences when they feel nervous, and how to build toward their goals instead of avoiding them. We have not met a coach at Playformance who wasn't amazing. It isn't just one kid, though. My other children love it too. They still offer caregiver and child classes, and when we were able to attend, they were so engaging for both the toddler and the parent, creating a supportive place where parents could find community too. Camps are huge fun, and every birthday party we have attended has been wonderful, regardless of the age range. If you're thinking about joining this community, because that's really what it is, I highly recommend you jump in. You won't regret it.

The people are incredibly friendly, and I feel like I'm always learning something new while my kid gets to play, explore, build confidence, and burn off some serious energy. I can pretty much guarantee a nap afterward, which is always a win! One of my favorite things about Playformance is that there really is something for all ages. It's a place kids can grow with, and it's also a great option for birthday parties if you want something active, different, and genuinely fun. More than anything, Playformance feels like a community. You can tell they care about the kids and families who come through their doors, and they've created a space where people feel comfortable and connected. Playformance is truly a staple in the community, and we're so lucky to have it. I cannot recommend it enough!
