I have 2 young daughters who are in their 2nd and 3rd year at Dream Weavers, and they both love it. They must be doing something right because both my girls have only had their enthusiasm for dance increase since they started taking classes. I don't normally leave reviews but it bothers me to see this place has only one review and it's from an angry would-be customer who never even enrolled there.
From my perspective as a 3rd year Dream Weavers mom, the teachers are wonderful - we've had only positive interactions with them. Their new location is beautiful and spacious. Possibly the best thing about this studio is that they put on the Nutcracker performance at ICC every year, and all enrolled dancers age 4 and up have an opportunity to be in the show. We are doing it for the second year in a row and, while it is a lot of extra practice classes, it's totally worth it. My daughters love being part of this amazing production, and I love seeing them rise to the challenge.
There is also a recital at the end of the year, which is another opportunity for them to learn a routine, practice, and perform it on stage in front of an audience (albeit one that is mostly the dancers' families). And my kids love that they get to keep the costumes afterwards.
There are some fees associated with being in the Nutcracker, as well as costume fees for the recital, and a registration fee when you sign up for the year, but the month to month cost of classes is quite low so I feel like it evens out. And yes, as the owner told the other reviewer, there is an exclusive enrollment stipulation in the policies - I checked the current handbook on the website and it's definitely there (look under Attendance). So maybe some people don't like that, but it's not as if they are misleading anyone.
In summary, I highly recommend this dance studio. Unless something drastically changes, I plan to keep bringing my girls here for as long as they want to continue dancing, or age out of the school. read more
