Dance Academy has been an intricate part of the community for over 35 years. I danced at the studio…read morefor over 20 of those years; apparently I was a wobbly toddler who needed some balance training. Terry and Corrine, the teachers, treat every dancer as their family. They are amazing with children. They can pull the shyest child out of their shell. They know how to build confidence in the children so they are not only better dancers but better people. They try to make every single student feel special. Terri and Corrine pour their heart and soul into their profession. All of their time is either spent teaching, mixing the music for classes, buying/making costumes, and on the rare occasion sleeping. They produce 5-6 recitals every year between the gym show, solo shows, and dance recitals. Over the years Terry and Corrine have worked at making recital more cost efficient for parents but trying to make most of them instead of buying them from costume companies. Terry has an amazing eye, she can buy a plain dress and make it into an elegant sparkling costume. It's inspiration like this that has sparked my creative side. Without Dance Academy, Hyde Park would not have had a parade for as long as it did. The teachers fought hard every year to organize it. Unfortunately the parade has come to an end but now they help organize the tree lighting. Dance Academy is not only bringing children together (creating life long friends) but they bring the community together. Dance Academy is not just a business, it is the heart of Hyde Park. The teachers have taught me love, friendship, confidence, strength, and helped with that balance issue I had as a toddler, haha. My daughter is too young right now, but once she is old enough you can bet that my daughter will be on the stage at recital staring at the curtains as Terri and Corrine are trying to get her and her classmates to tap their toes.

Arthur Purslow, one of my instructors, is an amazing talent who understands how to bring joy and passion into the lessons while keeping me focused upon proper form and movement. Lisa Jones, the founder and owner, is sensational at keeping me motivated while she patiently works with me on timing, count and remembering to have fun! They are both patient with terrific senses of humor but absolutely dedicated to teaching me the correct steps, postures and movements in a way that I, a man in my late 60's, can absorb, repeat and retain. I am having more fun than I thought possible!

Awful experience. My 8 year old daughter went here for a couple of months before I made the…read moredecision to pull her out of classes due to many reasons . The owner (her name was Lindsey I believe) came across as very well mannered and likeable upon our first few interactions, but unfortunately that didn't last. She would have irrational mood swings and handle issues with a severe negative attitude around the children. When I confronted her about this, however, she became defensive and gave me major attitude. Additionally, it seemed like my daughter was never learning anything new. I would be paying this women a fortune to teach my daughter the same thing she taught her the week before. I am very displeased with my overall experience with management and staffing. As for the studio itself, the waiting room reeked of body odor every time I was there. It was so unbearable that I would just wait outside for my daughter to finish as I peered through the glass windows. Not to mention the studio was dirty and not well organized. Please please please save your time and money for some other dance studio better equipped to suit your child's passion for dance

I've been so amazed by all she has done over the past year with covid and providing all the children with the opportunity to keep their passion alive despite the restrictions.

She has taught all 3 of my boys! Her hip hop teachers are also amazing!! Their energy and optimism is contagious!

The training I got here gave me opportunities for summer camps in other states which taught me crucial life lessons such as independence and problem solving. This place is amazing and I would recommend it to any and everyone.
