After her first class: "Mom it's so hard, there's so many steps and they go so fast!" Going from that to absolutely throwing down on stage at her first recital was amazing to see! She's been searching for her thing; and dance has become "it." Miss Jessica was her teacher, and she's just so sweet and good with the kids! The establishment as a whole is very warm and welcoming. The staff as well. And the recital they put on is so great! They make it entertaining for attendees. Highly recommend!

My mom told me I should try someplace else. I was really speculative, but decided why not? Roots was awesome! I thought I hated music but it was just the teacher. They helped me learn how to love music. It's now my passion and I don't know where I'd be without them. Unfortunately I had to move and quit but I recommend anyone interested in music or dance go there.

Our family had been a part of ACSD since she was 2 years old in 1989. When she went to Belmont she was one of the BEST dancers in the Musical Theatre Program!!! We have seen parents come and go (just like the previous reviewer) who wanted to change the way the studio conducts its business. The program is sound. I find it interesting that ACSD is voted BEST DANCE SCHOOL in Williamson County 13 years in a row. I also find it interesting that there are many students dancing there that are 2nd generation students. (and some 3rd generations) I hope the last reviewer is content to drive his daughter out of Franklin. I will always recommend ACSD.

Absolutely one of our favorite experiences in Nashville!…read more Mallory was phenomenal! Her energy and genuine love for what she does are absolutely palpable. She made learning the dances so easy with clear instructions, while somehow creating the perfect balance of professionalism, laid-back fun, and constant encouragement. But honestly, I can't quite describe the pure magic she brings to the room. She has a way of making everyone feel comfortable, confident, and ready to have fun--even when you're trying to figure out which foot is supposed to go where! My best friends and I had the BEST time, and our line dancing experience at Stompin' Grounds quickly became one of our favorite memories from Nashville. We laughed, danced, and made memories we'll be talking about for years to come. Thank you, Mallory, for making our girls' trip even more special! We would absolutely recommend Stompin' Grounds to anyone visiting Nashville!

Reminder, that if you are over 21 please bring an ID, makes it easier to get through the front door on Broadway. As an alternative, there is an entrance through the alley between the bars on Broadway and the Ryman that accesses all/most of the bars. After going all the way to the top floor with an amazing view, our instructor Jason checked us in. He did a fabulous job, explaining the process, breaking down the line dance and taking some amazing video to keep to show all your friends and family what a fabulous dancer that you are. HA! They send the video a few days after the experience and its included in your fee. My suggestion would be to either build more time into the lesson to grab drinks between or pay a bit more and have a bar tender upstairs. They do provide immediate access to water because boy shaking it makes you thirsty. Had a fabulous time and definitely encourage visitors to give this a try.

Our musical theatre loving child had such a poor experience with Act Too Players that he is…read morequestioning if he wants to continue participating in theatre productions at all. As others have mentioned the instructors are often yelling and show lack of care for young performers/their skills/feelings (they don't even bother learning kids' names and rather address them by the roles they are playing). Forget supportive and understanding environment- not here! The audition process is a joke and is not based on kids abilities. If your kid is looking to learn new skills/become more confident that's not a place for you either! Very disappointing experience overall!

Regrettably, our ten-year old daughter's experience with the Act Too camp in the July 2024 in…read moreFranklin, TN was NOT positive. Therefore, we cannot recommend that other parents entrust their children or their family's money to this organization. When my wife voiced our concerns after our daughter was truly reluctant to continue at the camp after just two days, we received the reply posted below from Sondra, which placed the blame back on our child. Suffice it to say, we were very disappointed. And we were rather incensed that the seemingly admitted/acknowledged loud tone of voice repeatedly directed towards our child (as well as the child of family friends' who also signed up to be a student/camper) was excused away as being necessary to "project our voices to be heard" to "move 40 kids on a stage". Really? Seriously? It's not a license to yell at kids. We were looking for a fun, fulfilling, challenging event for our daughter to continue her growth during the summer break. Such was not our experience with Act Too. EMAIL REPLY DATED July 10, 2024: Thank you for the email and we are sorry that [REDACTED] will not be completing the week with us. Honestly, in 22 years of doing these camps, we have never had anyone complain about our space. We give the kids several breaks, but we are a training program and we do dance them as well. The floors we have are dance floors and have a bounce to them to prevent injuries. I'm sorry to hear that she was hurting. Ms. Erica is an excellent teacher and works very hard at having the children feel successful. I'm sorry to hear the she was scared of Ms. Erica- needless to say we are not in the business of scaring children. We want them to love musical theatre. Camp should be fun, but with a musical theatre camp there is work expected as well. Trying to move around 40 kids on a stage can be challenging and at times we all have to project our voices to be heard. I do hope that you both have a wonderful rest of your summer and she will be missed. Because we had a long waiting list for this camp and we cannot replace her spot, we will not be able to give you a refund. Best, Sondra
