After seeing a Groupon for the school and making sure their schedule fit for my little girl I…read moresigned her up for class. I didn't know what to expect as it was my first experience going to dance school and NOT being the dancer. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Ms. Rhonda mans the front desk and she is extremely friendly and knowledgable. She immediately made me feel comfortable and made sure I had everything we would need for class. They will order anything you might need and are not pushy about it in the least. My daughter is 2.5 and loves the class. She loves her teacher and each week looks forward to the class. The best part that even at her young age she is actually learning, which as a dancer at one time makes me so happy. Once our Groupon time frame was over, there was no pressure to continue with classes but we have. I am very happy with our experience so far and hopefully will continue to be so for years to come!

"Security is not our responsibility ".

OM told me this is not a school. It is not their responsibility to make sure our kids are safe. This after I found a baby sleeping in a running car in the parking lot. Parent was in a back room, with all adults, eating lunch. OM told me they were taking turns checking on him so he was ok, even though car could not be seen from the school door. She then reprimanded ME for saying I find that disgusting, in front of the babies sister. How would sister have felt if police came or if child was abducted or died??? If this is how they protect their own, its no wonder they refuse to protect ours. Chaos and disorganization are overwhelming. No one seems to have any solid grasp on how to run this place. They insist you wear certain colors and styles, but don't know what that is? Set up an event to size and order all outfits... but then no one knew what we needed. Ended up spending more than necessary bc they weren't sure!!! The kicker is my account information is trapped in their system! I tried to delete my account and cc information but it is not an option! What!!? How can they hold my card and personal information hostage. This is terrifying and unacceptable. No where on the site does it have the option to delete my account. Don't trust them. They are money hungry with no concern for your child.

Love this place. It's a great place to bring your children. Everyone is very welcoming!read more

After being at this studio for ten years here are the reasons I would not recommend it…read more 1. . If you're looking for a studio with an owner who doesn't have a backbone this is the studio for you. 2. If you're looking for a studio that allows volunteer parents to discipline students without the other child parents being present this is the studio for you. 3. If you're looking for a studio that allows kids to rip masks off other kids faces with no consequences this is the studio for you. 4. If you want a studio where kids are allowed to come to class after being home from school the same day with fevers this is the studio for you. ( This happened multiple times and the administration did nothing) my child had the kid who came with a fever cough in her face and thought it was funny. This is the studio for you. 5. If you're looking for a studio where you volunteer over 600 hours in one year and are still treated like crap by the owner this is the studio for you. 6. If you are looking for a studio where parent volunteers basically manipulate to get what they want for their kids and are allowed to get away with whatever they want even lying and having other families ask to leave the studio ( after ten loyal years) this is the studio for you. 7. If you want parent drama, bullying ( by students and parents), and false accusations made about you that are never even investigated this is the studio for you. WFYB I give 4 out of 5 But DDI 1 out of 5 This studio has changed over the years and not for the best. If you are taking recreational classes you will probably be fine but if your child is asked to join any of the companies I would be very concerned.

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.

Unlike many dance studios, it's a place that fosters CONFIDENCE, DEDICATION, and PASSION-- which are amazing, lifelong qualities to instill in kids and especially teens.

Note only Kirstie, but all of the teachers too are committed to the students and create a very positive learning environment. Finally, the students are wonderful providing positive support to one another and put in a great deal of hard work. As I said before, the studio is truly a gem.

Since they had not sent them out, I thought I might change them. OMG, all they could do is try to make money by charging a fee for each ticket , and then try to charge more for a ticket in a lesser seat. They are worse than the airlines. We need a Pete Buttigieg over them to exact fairness. I know that this is probably a management problem, but it is a sad state when poor management overshadows a cultural gem for our community.

I started taking my granddaughter to Little Gym last summer. I am a teacher and was out of school…read moreso I was able to take her to a morning class. She loved it! Once I went back to school, my daughter and her husband started taking her at night since I live out of town. Her night class has gotten huge and the parents do not control their children. My granddaughter has been knocked down and trampled several times and the parents never apologize or even acknowledge it and nor does the teacher. I called to express my concerns and found out that the only smaller classes for her age are offered during the day and both my daughter and son in law work until 5:00. We decided it is best to stop going to Little Gym.The price we pay is expensive and I feel like she is going to get hurt. My granddaughter loves going but her class has just gotten out of control. I wish Little Gym would either limit the number of kids in the night and Saturday classes or add more night classes. Unfortunately some people do have to work.

We did two sessions of gymnastics for our 3 year old and dance classes to start soon too. We even had her birthday party here and it was better than we could have expected.

So fun and so low maintenance for us parents. We live 5 minutes away from a tumble gym but drive an extra 20 minutes because this facility is way way better.
