    As we close out our 12th year with Collective Dance Artistry, I am overcome with gratitude for the…read morefaculty and the love and dedication shown to the dancers each and every day. My daughter has continued to grow by leaps and bounds every year. She has developed not only a passion for dance but an appreciation for fine arts in all forms. There is no better place to study all forms of dance than Collective Danxe Artistry!

    CDA is a great school that has grown since we've started. I love the ambiance, it is clean, the…read moreinstructors (we've encountered) have been kind, and my daughter has definitely increased her dancing skills since her start. While we look forward to continuing our time at CDA, the school could do better with a few things. What could be better... - be selective with the students who can join the school. I don't say this to mean discrimination. I mean this to say... not all girls want to dance. It's their parents who want them to dance. The girls get in the class and are disruptive and take away from the lessons. - enforce the rules you have posted throughout the halls. If observation rooms are to be quiet, then enforce that. - the front desk staff are polite. However, they should also be knowledgeable and helpful. I have left on many occasions, not getting the answers to the questions being asked. Why wouldn't the front desk be able to help a parent with identifying classes? - email is NOT the only form of communication. When do parents have time to chat with the instructor? Quick questions...seems like parents only get that opportunity if their kid is the one acting up. - the classes are getting larger, not sure if that is on purpose, or if people are making up missed days, but the classes should be capped. The dance rooms aren't that big, and given the instructor/dancer ratio... it only leads to more playing in the class vs. actual learning. - I can not say that in the time that we have been at the school, that I have ever met the owner. It would be nice if she would make her self known and dedicate one week to being available each day. All in all, I think the school wants to give off a homey vibe, which they very well do. But the business side that is very on top of payments does not align. When you pay for something, there is an expectation of service, and generally, that is not the laid back/passive approach. To be clear: - larger classes, should have two instructors that are able to redirect behavior. Or disruptive dancers should be dismissed from the class - dancer uniform should be enforced (no ponytails, jewelry, etc) - staff should monitor the halls for disruptive parents and guardians (asking them to step out with their sreaming siblings, etc) -offer time for the instructor to have a quick(5 min) convo with parents at some point so they know how their child is doing or what they should work on. - where is the dancer discipline? Even at the younger ages, you can set a standard to be followed. Recommended school, but would love to see standards and expectations that are higher.

    Tucked in a quiet shopping center in castle hills, this location has a lot to offer for the public!…read moreI came for a free weekday show and was pleasantly surprised. They have merch such as journals, clothing, water bottles ballet shoes, and other items for sale in the front entry. The back area looks like the practice studio and they have one room in the front where they seated about 50 people to watch a free show of highlights from their current season. I love that they opened it to everyone and a few community groups of adults were attending at the time. What a sweet way to allow everyone to be able to enjoy ballet. The dancers were incredible and so skilled!

    I wish that I could recommend this ballet school but after a year and a half with this…read moreorganization, I am so underwhelmed and overly frustrated with the lack of transparency and common sense that runs this business, I cannot. My daughter loves ballet and it really doesn't take much to make her happy but both times she had a ballet teacher that suddenly disappeared and saddened her immensely. Speaking from a business standpoint, this ballet school is very poorly run and seems to have significant issues keeping teachers, running itself consistently, and being financially honest. In the time that we've gone here, these are the things I took away: 1- Financially fraudulent. We've had to fight to keep money in our pocket as faulty contracts and constant changes seem to give the director the impression she is entitled to money that is not hers to take or keep. This is a big one for me and honestly should be reported to the Better Business Bureau. 2- Staffing seems to be an issue. Both teachers that my daughter was attached to disappeared without warning and no explanation. This was devastating to my daughter both times and showed the lack of care or accountability this ballet studio has towards its students. Other students or Danielle, the director, took over the classes, which wasn't received well by the girls. Parents expressed the same sentiments and agreed that this was the main reason they were going elsewhere for their kids. 3- Lack of organization and communication: we participated in one production and it will be our last with San Antonio Ballet school. Along with many other parents, we were consistently frustrated with the lack of information and direction throughout the process. Shocked at the financial expectations and chaotic environment that spoke only of complete inexperience or dismissive attitudes. With young dancers, it's natural to be cautious and inquisitive about the process and the safety of your child. These questions were treated like they were idiotic and unnecessary which led many of us parents to share as much information in the hopes of helping each other. It was insane and the end result was that most parents were looking to new ballet studios or weren't participating in another production. There were few volunteers involved in the production that were family or friends of the director or parents of ballet students. Needless to say, some parents directly told me they were not participating because of previous bad experiences. This spoke again of a poorly run business. For me, this is all the reasons I need to seek ballet elsewhere. It seemed to me that while Danielle was an apt teacher, she should leave the actual running of the business to someone with more integrity and experience. Her biggest piece of clout also seems to be her belief that her studio is the most inclusive, while I think she has more integral problems to worry about.
