My daughter used to take Dance lessons at Stage Door and I took her out because of problems with the studio and feeling like they nickel and dime you to death. Since we moved to Knightdale I decided to enroll her into ballet and tap again and it looked like there were 2 options near me. I read the Yelp review for Dance Center and hoped it was a one off experience. I contacted them and Miss Cindy was super nice and responsive. Invited my daughter to attend a class to for free to see if we liked it. After class there was no sales pitch. Miss Cindy was really great with the girls so I registered my daughter. Glad I did. She loved it and it is clear she is there to learn dance and not for me to pay for something crazy every time I turn around. Get this- for the recital even though she will be doing ballet and tap routines- the costume is the same. It converts so I don't have to buy 2 overpriced costumes she will wear one day. The other studio made you buy 2. The recital tickets are a reasonable price as well. The classes start on time and run through the entire hour. Miss Cindy will call the girls out on doing something wrong so it is corrected. So this is a win/win. Daughter loves it and is learning something and I don't feel like I am a human money dispenser :) Only thing I would like is more room for parents to sit and keep items. Maybe a coat rack installed and a couple more chairs. read more

Love the kid friendly environment! Great smaller studio run by a terrific teacher that cares about her students.

My daughter has been dancing at the Dance Center for several years. The warmth and compassion the owner and teachers have is incredible. My daughter enjoys dancing and learning new choreography. This center is great with teaching kids and adults. read more

Both of our girls love Mrs. Cindy and the staff here. I was worried our 3 year old wouldn't take to it or listen well, but thanks to the staff here, she loves dancing here as much as her big sister. It is an independent, family owned studio, and I would take one of these over a chain any day! There is a great community going on here and I'm glad our girls are a part of it. read more

I'm happy the year is finally over! This is not a very professional studio. They are friendly, just not professional. It's not very clean. The teachers are not punctual and there is no consistency with the office staff so the books are constantly wrong. As I'm sitting in the recital, I am very disappointed in the overall production. This auditorium is empty (in retrospect, I understand why). There were 38 acts in 1 recital and it's the same kids are in several group/individual dances. Over 3 hrs for a child's production is ridiculous. I wish someone would have warned me before I enrolled my daughter. read more

The Dance Center is one of the healthiest dance environments I have ever seen. I attended and now my son has just started there and he LOVES it. There is structure without stress and a wonderful teaching staff that understands the age appropriate standards and expectations for kids. I also love the way both boys and girls can be involved and their own personalities shine without any gender stereotyping or unrealistic expectations. I know that my little boy is in a safe and nurturing environment that will help him grow into an amazing dancer because they teach with a love of dance as well and the knowledge. read more

The Dance Center is an awesome place for my daughter. We love all the teachers. They not only teach great technique but also teach life skills. I would recommend this dance school to everyone! read more

Not a professional studio. Teachers are not motivated and students are rude to eachother. Classes are not managed well, students are not in dress code, eating and drinking during classes. Cost for classes are the highest in the area. Recital has no decorations and music quality is poor. Studio is dirty and no website. Shop around before you make an investment in this studio. read more
