Now I really look forward to every lesson and what was scary is now an obsession. My instructors are Jordan and Maximo, but there are no bad choices, all the instructors are great. I have had Aubrey in group lessons, and had the opportunity to dance with Tanya and Lynn as well. The whole staff is just outstanding, I couldn't recommend them enough.

We are so grateful for Stagelights! Without Lisa's encouragement and her ability to spot Sofia's…read moretalent, Sofia may never have discovered her passion for performing -- and for that, we are forever thankful. Gracie has helped her grow so much in her dancing and fueled her love for it even more. Lisa has continued to encourage her in singing and has helped her truly flourish. Kayla and Noelle are also amazing -- so supportive, kind, and talented. Every member of the staff goes above and beyond to help the kids feel confident, inspired, and excited to learn. Stagelights truly encourages and develops their students to become true triple threats -- strong in acting, singing, and dancing -- all while building their confidence and love for performing. Our son just started performing and recently completed his very first musical at Stagelights. He had the best experience and is already so excited to join the summer play. We couldn't be happier to be part of the Stagelights family!

Center Stage in Carollwood is much better! That's where most of the dancers of value end of…read moretransferring anyways. We left due to my two year old being mistreated by the owner/teacher Lisa! An adult bullying a toddler is the only red flag we needed. Center Stage also has indoor viewing area to watch the kids dance! There's a giant window to see through and chairs, and AIR CONDITIONING (huge deal since at Stagelights it's a "privilege" to view your child in class while cooking outside in the sun on a hard plastic chair... being able to watch dance class from indoors on a soft chair is PRICELESS!) Stagelights is absolutely cheaper than most. But you get what you pay for! If it's worth it to you then go for it. I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't warn other moms of the experience. We wasted 3 years here, but once my two year old was mistreated the loyalty had to end. Do better for your own child & find a studio elsewhere!

I think they need to hire a professional event coordinator for their championship meets and expos…read more Every single event that I've been to has been unorganized, delayed and poorly planned. The most recent meet on Jan 18 was horrible. It went way over the expected time, they crammed us all into this tiny space where we had to stand for half an hour to wait for "the results". Then the gymnasts were running around with no supervision, jumping all over the makeshift "stage" and ruining some of the placement tags. By this time the kids were starving and some of us in the audience saw one of the coaches eating a pizza in front of everyone. We all just stood there watching her.but she was oblivious.Not a good look. Then finally, someone explained the reason for the delay (their computer system went down so they had to calculate the scores manually). Then more waiting. When the winners were finally announced, the person announcing had no microphone. She just yelled out the names while nervously flipping thru all her papers. It was all done so haphazardly, Coaches were running all over the place like chickens with their heads cut off. Nobody had a clue. Like I said, they need to dip into that stockpile of money they make off of us and invest in a professional event coordinator. Cmon guys. Get it together will ya? Parents are getting fed up with this.

We attended a birthday party here recently. First, there were three bounce house-type inflatables…read more I was expecting more for the cost of hosting a party here (around $300). But the younger kids seemed to have fun. Then everyone moved the the gymnastics portion of the gym. The kids were able to use two trampolines and the foam pit. One trampoline had a hole/was broken, so I think there would have been even more jumping action for the kids if it had been fixed. I really liked the gymnastics portion and would consider it for a future birthday party. The cost is quite high, and it doesn't include any type of food or beverage. You are able to order or bring your own, but then the cost is of course even higher. The biggest problem I had, was that at least three children became sick a couple of days later. My child being one of them. I hope they do some deep cleaning, especially now. But this needs to occur at least once a week in order to help keep kids healthy, since many come in for classes all week long.

Excellent space with a lot of fun gymnastics equipment, but I enjoyed the flexibility to be able to drop in on the weekends and take classes. I wasn't able to commit to a full training for her, but she gained training and exposure to gymnastics in a fun way without the tough pressure that can come along with it. Funny thing is it smells like bubbalicious bubble gum. Perfect for the happy children using the facility. There's an awesome viewing area for family and friends, they also sell gymnastics apparel and accessories, inexpensive little treats and have events here from time to time. If I still lived in Clearwater, we would have been regulars here.

Long story short if you want to actually learn how to dance salsa and learn the actual essential…read moredetails ans nuances necessary to lead and follow salsa don't go here. This place teaches you to dance in a way that pays almost no attention to the push and tension that is necessary to actually truly dance with a partner and what actually makes the dance feel fluid and natural. This honestly does not feel like a professional dance studio in any way. But rather just a side business for a restaurant.

We put our daughter in the Preschool class for dance. They wear tap dance shoes for half the class…read moreand ballet shoes for the other half of the class. For the most part, I think the class is lacking a little for this young age group. They don't do any kind of free dance at the end to keep up the kids excitement about dancing. They do a lot of "one at a time" skills, which means the kids spend a lot of time just sitting around. It would be better if they picked one skill per day to work on individually and then did the other skills at the same time as a group. I also wish they did a bit more free dance, just for fun. One other thing to keep in mind. For Preschool, parents must stay and watch. The only way to watch is to stand outside, in the blazing sun, and look through the exterior window. There is no interior viewing window for parents. In the summer, this is incredibly hot. There are fans outside, but they don't turn them on unless you ask, so I would suggest asking and dress in cool clothing!
