She has learned the value of hard work and working together as a group to create something. The families and staff are encouraging and kind with values that reflect our own. We feel our daughter is safe and receives positive instruction. There are little events throughout the year to encourage socialization and friendship among the students and lots of creative touches to make things fun like their Enchanted Forest theme for the younger kiddos. We are a Classical Ballet School family for life!

Started coming here about 9 months ago to begin preparing for the inevitable future Wedding dancing…read morefor the kid's events and to have a little quality time with my spouse. I wasn't expecting to have fun, and somewhat came kicking and quietly screaming, but I have to admit it has been a great time. I've realized I have no rhythm, can't find a beat half the time, and forget from one lesson to the next half of what I've learned... Had to put the ego away, realize I was there to have fun and not be my typical demanding perfectionist. The extra time with my wife makes it all the more enjoyable. Instructors are very knowledgeable and professional, understand our "goal" and intent and help us move along in the lessons. It definitely helps to take advantage of the Thursday Group Lesson and the Open "Party" session that follows to be able to dance with other folks. I've been please when dancing with more advanced students or Staff that no one has laughed or belittled my attempts at what to me are daring and sophisticated moves (but I've been assured they are all pretty basic) so far.. Tuition can seem pricey, after all the Intro stuff is done, but I try to remember that we get our private one-on-one lesson, plus a group lesson and a group party for the price. Ages of students are all over the place as well as skill levels. All I can say is try to have someone bring you to Guest Night, take the Intro Lessons and see for yourself. Trust me, leave the ego at the door. It ain't as easy to be graceful as I thought it would be....

My wife and I purchased the "Introductory Package" over the Christmas holiday and just finished the…read moreinstruction last week. So I'll start off by saying the instructor we had was excellent, personable, and made the first few sessions very pleasant. The facility is nice and much larger than I expected based on its location in a smaller strip mall. There are three dance rooms, but the primary room that would be used for intro and private lessons appears to be the main ballroom which has enough room for 5-6 couples to receive instruction at one time. This also means that you could be learning the foxtrot, but the music playing would be for a waltz or other style of dance based on the other clients present. If your uncomfortable having others watch your lessons or needing to avoid other dancers and lessons even during a "private" lesson this is something to consider; however, I didn't think it was a large issue. The introduction teaches you one step of 3-4 dances and gives you some basics to work from going forward which is more than enough to fit the introductory timeframe. At this point you may be wondering what caused my rating to be so negative based on the above. The negative for me came in the after introduction sales pitch. Another instructor/owner/manager took us back to go over their packages and sold a package at ~$800 that included ~45 hours of curriculum. This was split over private lessons, group classes, and weekly "club parties" which you trade/change partners. All of this is fine; however, we have busy weeks and are unable to attend 3x per week or on Thursday's when our group courses would be. We mentioned this to the sales staff and asked about other options, but it appeared they were uninterested in selling anything else. We were told it would be ok if we missed once per week because the main value came from the private lessons, but I am averse to paying for a service I know I'm going to miss 30% of. Still hoping to salvage a portion of the process since we enjoyed ourselves we asked about only private lessons. We were told this was too inconvenient for their instructors, it would be $80 per class, and then they went right back to selling their main package. When we again said this wouldn't work the sales staff rudely close their book and left the room leaving us to say bye to our instructor and leave. TL:DR - If you don't have $800 and 3 free nights per week give this company a pass. They will be rude and dismissive as soon as you don't want that specific service and schedule.
