I've waited a few months to post a review on this absolutely horrible studio, mostly because the…read moreemotional pain the owner caused my daughter and family has taken some time for us to process. If I could give negative stars, I would. In April this year, my 11 yr old daughter was kicked out of the studio without notice or reason right in the midst of competition season and only weeks before Spring recital. My daughter had been dancing at this studio every Saturday for close to 7 years and had built what she thought was a trusting bond with the owner. She participated in numerous recitals and competitions. Up until early this year, the studio was adequate and provided my daughter with a place to learn basic skills and be part of something we thought was positive for her. Things began to change when the politics of the "dance moms" and their misbehaved children took over. I wasn't happy with the negative environment and lack of control the owner displayed over keeping these kids in line but bit my tongue for the sake of friendships my daughter felt she had built. The owner, Michelle, has zero ability to maintain control of her studio and children that attend. After the first competition this year, where my daughter stood up for another child being picked on, the owner manipulated us into bringing her costume to the studio "for cleaning" before the next event. She never once mentioned there were any problems with my daughter or anything of that nature...EVER. The following we day we received a cold hearted email letting us know that after much thought that my daughter was no longer welcome there effective immediately. If there had been a problem with my daughters behavior then why on earth would this person who we had spent 7 years with not tell the parents immediately? I can only speculate the catty dance moms gave her an ultimatum to let my daughter go or they wouldn't bring their kids back all because she didn't put up with those kids picking on another girl. Truth be told, these moms paid more than us as their children spent more hours at the studio, so I think this was all politics.who knows though as we were never given any reasons. The complete lack of integrity, morals, and values the owner chose to display and refusal to give us a reason or respond in any fashion to our attempts to reach out after this is unacceptable on every level. I would encourage anyone interested in attending this studio to really consider if you want your child to potentially go through the emotional damage that my daughter did. This is not the type of place that children should be exposed to and the owner most certainly does not deserve to be in business when she lacks any ethics. We have since found a studio that is run effectively and creates a place of love and value for the children. Don't trust facebook reviews on this one. The owner has managed to have many negative reviews removed and you will not get an accurate depiction of what this place is about. She will block anyone from being able to post a review on FB after her bad business practices.

This is my last review for 2007 so I decided I'd make it count…read more I'm not a pro but as someone who CRAVES a heartfelt and sweaty dance class every now and then I was desperate to find an appropriate facility that was not associated with a dance club/bar/lounge. Clearly I found it but in dancer terms this place was a a little bit of an arrastre (drag). Call ahead just to confirm any change in schedule. I'm not familiar with class sizes at this particular joint but there was definitely space to go around. I appreciated how extremely clean and organized the dance studio was yet lacked the unique punk, hipster, bad ass feel. Instructors were lovely but not as groovy as those at Broadway Dance as I never really got into the plie mood. All in all, I suggest this dance studio to those that are craving an expensive class to fix your craving. And by expensive I mean you'll pay crazy amounts of money for over an hour class.

They have everything from hip-hop and ballet, to movement classes like Nia and Pilates. This is a good thing because movement classes can help a growing dancer by keeping them strong and limber without overtaxing dancing muscles and tendons. Their pricing structure makes a lot of sense, pay for a semester that would follow the local schools schedule. You can also pay monthly and annually, but they don't follow the class schedule. I thought the expression classes would be something great for any child, dressing up as characters and trying to express them through movement. What fun.
