Growing up in a dance studio, I know how a well-run recital should be. Unfortunately, Dance Academy…read moreWest has proven they are not capable of hosting an organized or thoughtful recital experience. I'm beyond disappointed after being told there are no more tickets available and being asked to join a group chat to "bargain" for tickets that families--who've paid for classes all year--should be entitled to. It's incredibly frustrating to know that my daughter may not be able to showcase what she's learned because of poor planning, limited space, and a ticketing process that seems completely disorganized. If the studio has so many dancers spread across multiple shows, why not book a larger venue and hold one big recital? That way, every student could perform once, and families could buy tickets--possibly even at the door. This current setup is chaotic and feels inconsiderate of the time, effort, and money parents have invested. On top of that, charging tuition the week before the show and continuing classes afterward feels like another poorly thought-out decision. While my daughter enjoyed dancing here for what it was, we will not be continuing. I would not recommend this studio to others.

Dance Academy West is by far the best dance studio in the West Georgia area. Now with two…read morelocations, they are able to serve even more people in the surrounding area. The yearly recital is my favorite experience every single year. It is very well organized, well run, and a highly entertaining production! Our entire family loves attending and watching every year! I think back to recitals when I was a kid and they were boring for my parents to watch dance after dance with no story line or real order to the dances. Dance Academy West offering Musical Theater and Acting makes the show, and the childrens' experiences, a true theatrical experience! I wish my studio had run recitals like DAW when I was younger. This year, when all 4 recital shows sold out, the owner and staff made every attempt to ensure every parent was able to get a ticket to see their child dance. When some parents were still unable to get tickets, they added a 5th show ensuring the child of those without tickets danced in the add-on show. This was an incredible opportunity for some of the kids to get extra stage time and make the recital weekend even better! We also love that the studio offers year round classes so the dancing never has to end! Even when recital is done, classes still continue throughout the summer, ensuring continuous learning and growth for the students. We have been at DAW for 8 seasons and it just gets better every year. We started at DAW when my daughter was 3 years old and the way she has grown throughout the years has been amazing. When we were just starting out and looking for a studio to join, we wanted somewhere that was diverse within their staff and students as well as staff that we could trust with our child. There is a reason people flock to DAW after experiences with other studios. All of the staff and teachers are nurturing, attentive, loving, caring, and encouraging. My daughter calls Dance Academy West her home away from home! She has built lasting friendships with her dance friends! If you are looking for an amazing dance experience for your child, you will not regret choosing Dance Academy West. I would choose them over and over again!

Plenty of email communication and all expectations were set at the parent orientation. During registration they treated my daughter like a queen and gave her a tour of the studio. We were also referred to a dance apparel store where she could get all the stuff she needed for class. I look foward to the rest of the year at The Dance Factory.

They take the time to teach each child the value of dance and to respect not only others, but themselves as well. We spent or first year in dance at another studio and left with a bad taste in our mouths, but once we found the dance factory we were delighted our experience. The new building is beautiful with it's black and pink motif and has a sense of elegance with the crystal chandelier in the foyer. Even the bathrooms do not escape the owners attention to detail.

If you are looking for a place to take your child (boy or girl) to learn dance I highly recommend the Dance Factory, you will not regret a moment spent with these wonderful people.
