Great venue to see a show! The acoustics in the theater are great. There's ample parking. And plenty of refreshments available!

Another outstanding year at Dance Etc School of the Arts this years Spring Recital was awesome…read morecheck out a few of my favorite pictures of my daughter from the recital. Come check out the studio.

The quality of instructors here is without question top notch. My daughter has been here a year and…read moreif it weren't for the steady improvement I see in her dancing and her awesome instructor, I would have withdrawn her a long time ago. From an administrative perspective this place is incredibly disorganized, the staff is misinformed and they do a poor job of communicating important pieces of information. They just had their spring performance at the Manassas Center for Performing Arts this past weekend and the experience was nothing short of infuriating. First, they wanted the kids there at 5:30 pm for a performance that starts at 7 pm. Ok, that's reasonable. When I checked my 11 year old in backstage, they told me I wasn't allowed to go any further, that made me incredibly uneasy but of course I complied. The performance was to start at 7 pm, and it did but prior to the performance (meaning the weeks and days ahead) we we're not given an idea of when the show would end. I'll just cut to the chase and tell you now, I did not have my daughter back until nearly 11 pm. When her performance was finished (she was in the 4th act), which was around 9:45 pm, I excused myself from the auditorium and went backstage to get her. I was told the kids would not be released until the end of the show and that all children 10 and up (this part is important) would be released into the lobby of the performing center on their own. That was an absolutely terrible idea.... So the show wrapped up about 10:30 pm. Someone from the school made an announcement on stage that all kids 8 and older would be released into the lobby on their own for parents to retrieve (more like search for frantically in a sea full of strangers). So while someone in the back was telling parents it was 10 and up, they just made an announcement to hundreds of people that it was actually 8 and up. Prime example of the kind of misinformation and lack of communication they demonstrate on a daily basis back at the school. Once I finally had my daughter back and after congratulating her on a job well done, I asked her about her experience backstage. No snacks or hydration provided (because the ADULTS backstage did not inform the children they were allowed to grab one from the table they set up) and when the children attempted to go to the bathroom they were told they could not and had to go back to the dressing room. So you put my kid in a room from 5:30 pm to 9:15 pm and tell her she can't go to the bathroom and don't bother to tell her she can grab a snack..... THEN after she performs, she is stuck in that same predicament another hour. THEN you send her out in a lobby full of HUNDREDS of people to search for her guardian when it's all said and done?! The levels of negligence, lack of planning, consideration and common sense is astounding! I was willing to overlook the fact that after paying for tuition we were forced to pay $20 a head to see her perform. I was willing to overlook that after spending all of this money up till performance night, we were told we were not allowed to take pictures or video (ushers were kicking parents out if they were caught recording). I was even willing to overlook their seriously flawed system for releasing kids back to parents but to have the audacity to keep our kids from us for several hours and not have the decency to make sure they were well taken care of and attended to absolutely pisses me off. I'm sure there are schools that will treat you, your children and your money much better. Don't do it.
