I am so glad mine and my daughter's paths crossed with Fentons Dance Factory! I knew of Fenton…read moreseveral years back when I was out of High School but just never attended any classes at his studio. Fast forward to early Spring 2023 when I decided to bring my daughter here to take classes. The "vibe" grew with her immediately and she was asked about performing in their upcoming recital. She then decided to audition for FTROOP that Summer and made their Teens team. So many amazing Hip Hop instructors here! Getting to know everyone each time we walk through the doors has been such a blessing and one big dance family. I have had a blast taking Adult classes with Fenton and other instructors as well. My daughter loved being on FTroop Teens so much, she auditioned again for 2024 & is currently on Seniors team. This studio offers rentals if you need a room for lessons or to practice. Call to inquire and speak with Kristin. Summer camps and intensives are offered and just added, was the Winter camp. Feel free to check out their Instagram handle as well, to keep up with all studio news, events and updates.

I wish I could give this studio more than one star considering it was one of my favorite studios. I…read moreloved the classes, location, and facilities. But I feel it would be irresponsible to stay silent about the studio owner's unacceptable conduct. He's fun and charming with parents, seriously he is incredible at building rapport, but that facade shifts behind closed doors. I only ever met him in person once, and it was when he barged into a teacher's class to humiliate a student who was no older than 10. I don't recall what it was about, but he interrupted the entire class to shame her and it was uncomfortable to say the least. She just about cried, and because he was the studio owner, no one stood up for her. If that wasn't bad enough, he found my Instagram and was being pushy and trying to negotiate my boundaries with me. The dance world is small and word gets around quick. I was submissive toward him and feared being blacklisted or insulted if I spoke up. but now that I have a kid I feel angered knowing kids were alone with this man. I would never, and I mean NEVER bring my child here. To advertise qualities like character on your studio signage only to switch up like this the moment he gets students alone like this repeatedly...it's a major conflict of interest.

If I could give this studio more stars I would! We were at the studio for a year and it was the…read morebest year of my kids lives! My son has ADHD and they not only embraced him, but develped his technique and he thrived! My daughter is very young and only did the recreation program, but all of the teachers (especially Tammy and cooper) were absolutely amazing! Because of DI both of my kids are way above their age level in all genres from just one year of dancing there. The staff is extremely professional, and the owner is just so on top of everything at the studio. The best part of the studio is that none of the teachers or staff (Including the owner) get involved with ANY of the drama at the studio. They place the kids where they will do the best in technique and maturity wise. The only reason why we left is because we moved out of state, however we are going back every year for some of the conventions they participate in so we have the chance to dance with them. They care about molding your dancer into a professional dancer, not just a competitive dancer who stops dancing at 18 when they age out of competitions. They work with the seniors in getting them into the right collages and help them earn scholarships to pay for tuition. The owner and staff are well connected as well to get your foot in the door if you want to go more towards the entertainment industry. The ballet program is top notch with dancers that get into the most prestigious dance schools. (They have placed at least 3 dancers at Juilliard last year). They also have great adult ballet, tap, and hop hop classes that are so much fun! If you have the opportunity to go to DI do it! It was the best decision for our whole family made in dance we have ever made.

My 14 yr old's training and development gained her entrance into the prestigious Bolshoi Summer Intensive program and The Florida Classical Ballet. And my 11yr. old son had the opportunity to participate in his first intensive with The Florida Classical Ballet as well. Hands down, Hathaway Academy of Ballet has demonstrated superior classical dance instruction for our children and many in our community ranging from 3 years old through the pre professional divisions. The directors and instructors are courteous and respectful of all their dancers and their families. They take great pride in providing superior technique, pointe preparation, performance opportunities and community engagement. They are honest, fair and provide individualized attention when needed to correct technique and form. If you are going to invest your precious time and hard-earned dollars somewhere for your child to pursue the beautiful artistic study of dance, do so where you can see that you are getting something of great value. Hathaway Academy of Ballet is that place.

I watched a play called Black Comedy tonight at Cox Playhouse in Plano presented by Rover…read moreDramawerks. It was pretty unique experience. I used to love checking out the plays back in college. Mainly because they were free with my student ID but also because it's live. No editing, no takes, no do-overs.. everything is live. This particular play took it one step further. The seating arrangement was basically within breathing room of the actors and actresses all around the "stage". It's really just one room and everyone's on stage. Hard to explain. Check out the play if you can. I think it's playing entire month. So what makes this venue or experience 4 stars for me is this. After the play, they served refreshments (including wine) and the cast comes out to mingle and chat with the patrons. I didn't stay too long afterwards but I got to talk to one of the actors and he's just a regular Joe working on this in his precious spare time. Of all the plays I've been to, I've never experienced this before. Good venue. I will gladly continue supporting this theater. Quick note about the play itself. Very interesting. I'm not going to give much away as you can probably read synopsis of the play online anyway. But it might not be for all ages. I would say don't bring your kids which I noticed some patrons brought children. The actresses are a bit scantily clad but it's entirely appropriate to the theme of the play though. Update: Originally I gave it 5 stars. Since the review is for the theater room itself and not the play, I felt that I couldn't do the review justice if I didn't mention this part as it pertains to the theater itself. So I have bumped it down to 4 stars but obviously I still had a good experience despite my seating location. The seating matters. It's true that the stage is pretty much the room but there is a raised area of the stage that the actors and actresses will also use during the performance. If you sit too close to this area, then your view is blocked and cannot see what's going on up there. It's general admission so good thing is you can go early and grab a good seat but just be aware of the limitation I mentioned.
