My daughter has been going here since she was three. She is eleven at the time of this writing. It…read morehas been a good experience for her. They are disciplined and they teach discipline . It is a very proffessional dance school. The camps in the summer are all about fun! My child goes every summer. The best part is they make friends in the school and grow up with each other. I think this is a wonderful place for kids to learn dance. The costumes and dance moves are modest not vulgar. Some places I have seen teach very young children very inappropriate dance moves. That does not happen at this school.

We moved to sykesville md over a year ago and my daughter who was 4 at the time wanted to join a…read moreballet class. We found Carroll county dance center & as far as the classes went our daughter enjoyed them. I found the classes to be educational & structured. Our HUGE problem came to when they had the dance recital at the end of the year. They required a lot of rehearsals for this young of age and the coat was really expensive! The day of the recital our daughters section was finished & I wanted her to leave because we had family in town. I was not interrupting the show and this was happening during intermission. The owner Becky was extremely rude and not easy to work with! I was so upset as to how she treated me & feel she was very unprofessional! We will never go back to Carroll county dance center & will tell everyone we know in the area to find another dance center! They really showed their true colors at the recital & all comes down to the show & money!!!

Avoid this place at all costs! The owner of this studio (Donna Grim) is a cruel, vicious woman. I…read moredon't mean that she is tough on the dancers, I mean she is sadistic to some. My daughter got "the treatment" when she transferred to the studio (she was a top-notch dancer) and refused Donna's suggestion that she join "the company" (the elite competition girls). We had moved studios because my daughter wanted to concentrate on her education, and just wanted high-quality classes without the time obligations. In ONE semester, the owner managed to destroy my daughter's self-esteem and self-confidence, and kill all love of dance in her. In hindsight it is apparent that she was brutally taunting my kid, although my child was scared to tell me until I finally witnessed something myself and started questioning her. (I am NOT a dance mom). When I talked to Donna, she blew me off and told me that even though my daughter was in all the same classes as the "company girls" she was excluded and was an outsider, because she wouldn't commit. The level of vitriol from this woman was spine-chilling, and I pulled my daughter immediately - never even finishing the performance that evening and the next. I found out afterwards that Donna (who taught the classes) would single her out and humiliate her in front of the other girls, calling her stupid and clumsy, and encouraging the other children to mock her. Mind you, my daughter was the top of her classically-trained school before she transferred in. Because of the genre switch, my daughter assumed that SHE was at fault, and worked even harder, but this horrid woman would single her out the next time. It has been almost 8 years since that happened, and my daughter has never danced since. I would avoid this place at all costs. YOUR kid may never get the sadistic treatment, but it trickles down to the other dancers. They never actually shunned my kid, but many other dancers were treated poorly by the other kids. It's just an environment that is dark and unpleasant.

I took a couple of summer drop-in classes at this studio to keep me in shape for the competition…read moreseason and I had a great time! The classes are relatively small which allows the teachers to give a more hands-on experience, which I very much enjoyed. Dance Unlimited is very different from my current dance studio, however, the experience helped me expand my views on the dance world. I highly recommend!
