The classes are advertised as 25 minutes, yet they consistently end early. The final straw was when I looked up from the lobby and saw my toddler..who isn't even three years old..walking out of class alone, completely unsupervised. She could have easily made her way out the main doors. I understand accidents can happen, but this is simply unacceptable. As a mother, I know you would understand the seriousness of a child's safety. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this studio due to the lack of supervision and accountability. I waited to get an Apology but instead the instructor Michelle emailed back with no remorse or apology and simply tried to say she handed me my daughter but she did not and Tara at the front desk saw the whole thing and have yet even emailed back with an acknowledgment/ apology. Someone else mentioned she displayed implicit bias and I can agree with that.

It's not like that here! They do some competitive stuff but very little. You won't find a bunch of competition teams here like they have at other studios.

The owner has little training in these dance forms although she brags about being a swimmer and a dance team sponsor. She is disorganized and lacks communications skills with parents. She cannot keep teachers because she overrides their decisions constantly and she tells them to do things with the students that do not meet the criteria or technique they have been trained to do in college or with a dance company.

They are taking excellent precautions to keep all of the dancers safe. Many dance studios are crowded into too small buildings and there is a feeling of chaos before and after classes. That is not the case here- the studio is spacious and well organized. The staff and instructors have a high level of professionalism and have been so sweet to my daughter. Our 4 year old is in a combined ballet/tap dance and loves going to dance class every week. She has been coming home and showing us what she learned in class and we can see she is making excellent progress. The studio does a great job in age appropriate dance instruction and has really made it fun for her. She has come home with special props and little treats she got during dance class; it is little things like this that make it extra special for her. We are very pleased with our experience at the studio so far!

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.

From the owner: American Dance Co. began as Suzan Angell School of Dance and Drill Team, a San Antonio fixture…read moresince 1987 with a reputation of excellence for its dance instruction. Owners Farrah and Joe Olson took pride in their curriculum, but wanted to offer the community they served even more by expanding their curriculum.

ADC specializes in those American Born Dance Forms: Jazz, Hip Hop, Modern/Contemporary, Tap and Precision Dance, along with Ballet, the foundation for all of these dance forms and the launching pad for success in all dance disciplines. ADC has been leading the dance industry in San Antonio as one of the First studios to offer Dance Team Precision, Leaps & Turns, Hip Hop and Contemporary.

Ms. Lynn at the desk is a sweetheart and has always been so friendly and answers all my questions. We have had classes with Brianna, Gwen, Makenna, Kaylie and Giselle over the years and they have taught the girls age appropriate routines and given them the foundational skills to continue in dance. Monthly pricing is very reasonable, the studio is always neat and decorated nicely. They put together summer classes and offer classes for adults too. I highly recommend Dance Infinity SA to anyone. I hope to continue with them for many years to come.

So, you're thinking about putting your child in dance? That's nice. Well, let me just tell you…read morethis: I would NOT recommend Dance Infinity. It's not completely terrible--some of the instructors are very kind there. There is one director that I would never recommend, and her name is Hallie Odom. She is one of the main instructors for teens and adults. Now you may be asking, "Well, what's so bad about her?" Well, you're in for a ride--let me tell you. One thing is her teaching style is very sink or swim. There's not much step-by-step guidance, especially for beginners who have never done ballet before. My two daughters went there for about 5 months and had never done ballet, and she never once helped them. And she knew they had never done ballet. She never tried to get to know them. The first day they went, she told my younger daughter, who was 13, "Your sister was really good, her footwork was really nice." My daughter was just nodding, and then she said, "And you... you were... yeah," then smiled and walked away, leaving my daughter crushed and coming home crying. Now, if you're signing up your older kid for anything, they will most likely have her. And if you sign them up for ballet, it is mandatory for them to also do ballet progressions. If your child has never done ballet, trust me, this will ruin their confidence and make ballet seem 10x harder, because Ms. Hallie doesn't teach them the terms or how to do the movements. One of my daughters spent a whole day teaching herself the terms and movements just to catch up. And the worst part is she plays favorites--she mostly corrects and helps girls she's known since they were little. She would always help them, but never give my daughters much attention. Now I'm not asking for Ms.Hallie to stop and slow down the whole Class for them but it's just the fact that she never corrected them nor helped them instead just left them to figure it out themselves even though thats literally what I'm paying her to do is to help them. My daughter even tested it during across-the-floor work by going in front to see if she would get feedback. She didn't say anything to my daughter, but gave corrections to the student she knew behind her instead. Now let's talk about Ms. Lin. I was signing up one of my daughters for contemporary (Ms. Giselle is the contemporary teacher--very kind and helpful). While I was on the call, I also brought up that my daughters weren't getting much help in ballet to see if anything could be done. She responded in a very rude and dismissive way, saying something like, "And yet you want to sign her up for another class even though you're having these problems," which I found very unhelpful. Overall, I felt like I wasn't taken seriously when trying to address concerns. The owner, Gwen, was kind in the few interactions I had with her and tried to help by letting my daughters go into class 10 minutes early for extra help with Ms. Hallie, but that still didn't make much difference. All in all, the other instructors for younger or beginner classes are wonderful--the jazz, contemporary, and hip hop teachers are great. I just highly do not recommend this studio for teens who are beginners in ballet or trying to start ballet for the first time.
