She's in her second year of dancing in the ballet company. It's a lot of work! Happily, the dancers aren't measured against an impossible standard or even one another. Instead, each dancer is encouraged to work towards their personal best. The wonderful people at Park Hill Dance are helping my daughter build the (metaphorical) muscle memory she needs to take on challenges outside of the studio too. Can't say enough good things about this place.

I think it is worth every dollar, her instructor Maddie is so sweet and great with kids.

Dancers are supported year after year, and seniors are celebrated in thoughtful, meaningful ways that honor their commitment and growth--setting an example for younger dancers coming up behind them. The studio is intentional about maintaining a safe, respectful environment. Not every studio is the right fit for every family, and that's okay. If you're looking for strong training, real performance opportunities, programs like NHSDA, and a place where kids feel supported and known, this studio has been a wonderful fit for us.

This is my last review for 2007 so I decided I'd make it count…read more I'm not a pro but as someone who CRAVES a heartfelt and sweaty dance class every now and then I was desperate to find an appropriate facility that was not associated with a dance club/bar/lounge. Clearly I found it but in dancer terms this place was a a little bit of an arrastre (drag). Call ahead just to confirm any change in schedule. I'm not familiar with class sizes at this particular joint but there was definitely space to go around. I appreciated how extremely clean and organized the dance studio was yet lacked the unique punk, hipster, bad ass feel. Instructors were lovely but not as groovy as those at Broadway Dance as I never really got into the plie mood. All in all, I suggest this dance studio to those that are craving an expensive class to fix your craving. And by expensive I mean you'll pay crazy amounts of money for over an hour class.

Having a boy that dances unfortunately isn't common and can make it difficult to feel welcome in a dance studio. The staff and owners at Studio 9 are truly the best! He takes tap, ballet and hip hop classes along with a boys only ballet class!! This has allowed our son to grow as a dancer and learn partnering. He loves the teacher which is great because keeping a group of young boys moving isn't easy! He recently performed in his first show at Studio 9 and it was a first class production. The backdrops and props were top notch.

Now I enjoy the beauty of other people bending their bodies in ways I cannot even imagine. We came to see Fancy Footwork which was a fundraiser for the dancers to apply for various grants. Fancy Footwork was a series of short 2-5 minute dances that were a combination of classic and modern dance. In short- we LOVED it! I love not knowing what is coming next. The modern dance which typically I am less a fan of then the classics was jaw droopingly gorgeous and creative. The studio on Santa Fe is also small and intimate and the audience sat in a bleacher style set up that made for a really special night.
