The instructors are very good, professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. My daughter is definitely in good hands with these instructors as they guide her into developing her musical skills and abilities. At first, it was a little weird finding that the location is in a basement when entering through the front doors but the rear entrance leads directly to the downstairs studio. This business is perfect for us and our needs. Thank you RG Performing Art Studio! I highly recommend this place for your musical needs!

Walk-in prices have gone up $1 to $6/class since the pandemic, but that's still an amazing value. The workouts really push you, but are also quite adaptable. There are people (mainly women, although the occasional man) of all ages and fitness levels in the classes and the energy is great. Perfect for someone looking for a fun way to get back into shape or someone who has been working out for a while and wants to add something new to the rotation. I had done Zumba before, but none were quite like this - and I mean that in a good way! I had driven by for years before attending and this studio is truly a local gem!

This is a really great activity - and quite the workout -would definitely recommend to any groups looking for a unique and fun activity in Lake Geneva. Linda was super friendly and was really great at showing us the basic steps and we had a chance at the end to put our new dancing skills all together. She was also really good at correcting our form to make sure we were doing the dances correctly, yet did so in a friendly manner. They also had some cute head and hip scarves which really made the experience that much more fun. There is also seating for any friends that want to watch and encouraged photos, etc. For $20 each, it was money well spent and a really fun time. Plus, our friend was able to do all of the coordinating with Linda over email. Tip: They don't accept credit cards, so be sure to bring cash!

We had a blast learning to belly dance with Linda!

I was nervous going into the first lesson because neither of us have any experience, but Cinnamon made both of us SO comfortable. Not only did we learn some good moves (and easily learned them too due to Cinnamon's amazing teaching style), but Cinnamon also helped us choose our first dance song (something that I have actively been trying to choose for the last 2 years (not exaggerating here)). He asked us a couple questions, read our energy, and played a song...right then and there, I knew it was the one we had to go with! But most importantly, Cinnamon made it FUN.

So sad I heard no dance this year. Beautiful place and beautiful people. We will miss you all.read more

I never before experienced such a lack of care for students and such a disrespectful attitude on a…read moreservice company like I had with this studio. Especially considering that it caters to very young children. Last year we enrolled both our daughters in ballet and dance classes. We thought that the owner, Ms Leslie, was strict but otherwise a good teacher and enrolled them again this year in multiple classes. This time the classes seemed different, the teachers were very young (one I believe was Ms. Leslie's daughter) and didn't seem to have the right experience to make the classes interesting to very young kids (my daughters are 6 and 3). Still we remained in class believing it was still a good activity for them. That was until a few weeks ago... it was a very cold day and the studio was not nearly warm enough for little girls in short sleeved leotards. I was wearing a coat, as well as almost every dad or mom in the waiting room with me. In the middle of my daughter's class, she came out asking to go to the bathroom. I took her to pee and she told me she was very cold. Her skin was indeed cold and she was trembling a bit, so I (as a concerned dad) put her jacket on her (it was a fitted fleece jacket with a zipper an no hood or anything loose) and sent her back into the classroom. A few minutes later a hear a loud voice from the teacher telling my daughter to take her coat out. I go back and, as the door of the classroom opens, I hear my daughter say "but I'm cold" and see the teacher push her out of the door saying "No, you are NOT! Now go take out your coat or you won't be allowed back in class" I took my daughter out of the class and (trying not to create a scene) went to talk to Ms. Leslie's husband who was at the desk (Ms. Leslie had been absent at that point for several weeks). There I told him that I understood thta the teacher was trying to uphold the rules of the studio and, independent of if I agreed with them or not, I didn't think a teacher should act in such a manner, contradicting my daughter's feeling and assuming what she was or not feeling (specially because it was indeed cold and all the teachers were wearing long sleeved shirts and warmers while the students were in thin short sleeved leotards). Instead of showing understanding, apologizing or at least showing some empathy to the situation, he started telling me that those were the rules of the studio and that most students would fake cold to get out of class and that he saw my daughter do this many times. I decided at that point not to push the subject and, after getting home, we wrote an email to Ms. Leslie to explain the situation and see what could be done to prevent this from happening again. A week later, before the next class, we received a reply saying that we got all fact wrong, that my daughter was using a hooded coat, that it wasn't cold and that she was disrupting the class. It ended reinforcing that those were the rules of the studio and they would not allow any exceptions. Since we were both there and Ms. Leslie was back, my wife tried to talk to her to clarify, but she started complaining to my wife of the misbehavior of our OTHER daughter. She was clearly emotionally unbalanced and was taking her frustration with us or the situation on my other daughter, which was not even part of the initial problem. My wife kept saying that she didn't want to have that kind of discussion in front of all the other parents there (her clients) but Ms. Leslie kept raising her voice and saying that nobody would listen to them there. Well, I was sitting with the other parents in the waiting room and I DID hear, so i went there and tried to move the discussion back to the original issue (the teachers behavior with my older daughter). Ms. Leslie looked at me with hate and said that if we wanted to have our kids in class we should follow protocol and then turned back and close the door in my face. We left then to never come back to that place. Don't care if they issue a refund or not or if we lose the rest of the season and deposit on clothes and recital. There no way I'm exposing my daughters to this kind of environment and will make sure I warn as many parents I can so they don't fall in the same situation I did.

They also send kids home with dance apparel that you never said you wanted and tac the price onto your monthly bill and will put unknown charges on your account with no explanation. All stuff that I have witnessed and decided to pull my kid from the studio, because they are so rude, disrespectful, and abusive. Owner of the place will only defend her teachers if you confront her...I guess we know whose best interest she has in mind and it's definitely not the children. Perhaps the teachers should educate themselves and check out this link http://danceadvantage.net/2009/01/27/12-tips-for-teaching-tots/ because whether or not they realize it they are taking care of our children and our future!
