My daughter had to miss the recital because she was ill and it took months to get her costume. Every time I called, I was told that the owner would call me back. This didn't happen, so I decided to send email so that I had proof. I just wanted a costume that I paid over $100 for! When the owner finally contaxted me, I was told that everything from the recital was still in a trailer or attic and they needed to go through it. Hmmmm ok. It took MONTHS before they finally had the costume for me. So ridiculous. I should also mention that the Puyallup location I so gross! Dirty facility. Parents let their babies and toddlers run all over the place and leave trash. I couldn't believe it. No one asks them to be polite and stop talking inappropriately and loudly. It smells like dirty diapers. "Regulars" are dropped off and treat the facility like a dumpster. Yuck. Classes always started late as well.

Where are the "0 star" or even negative reviews. I am not going to say much, other than I just read…read morethrough the negative reviews below and very much agree with what everyone said. The positive reviews must be from people who haven't been there long or something. My daughter danced there for 4 years and she loved it except for the last year and a half, which luckily was Covid so she had an easy way out. She was tired of being bullied and yelled at by coaches the owner. If you think I'm kidding, read the reviews below. This is not how our children should be treated. In addition to the unorganization, the "business model" is brilliant, for the owners, not the customer. They get your credit card and charge away. there's no possible way to track all the fees and charges and I believe it's that way by design. Just a complete mess. Stay away!!

In my group classes, I've been regularly placed in the Advanced Beginner section. This has been a…read morelot of fun. There is one hindrance to going social dancing: coming up with choreography for your follow. In other words, we "leads" need to come up with a routine (by staying one or two steps ahead of our "follow") and then effectively communicate that to her with our frame + hands. This is hard. No way around it. It is hard to lead. This is a significant roadblock on the way to social dancing. Believe me, there is a ton of social dancing opportunities here in Seattle. The whole reason for taking classes is to go social dancing. Well, if you are afraid to go, what is the point? Well, I met up with John Chau, owner and founder of LDX Latin dance. As a male, he knows the struggle of leading and a "frozen mind." I decided to take private classes with him because he has a system which is logical and takes some of the pressure off of the memory by making it easy to come with variations on the moves you already know. Just a few classes into this and my confidence is already improved. Based on what I have learned so far, I have no hesitation recommending LDX Latin dance and PRIVATE lessons with John, esp you men out there who suffer from stage fight and a frozen mind on the dance floor. One tip: if you can bring a follow with you, that will help. She can practice with you on days you are not in class, as well as attend social dances with you. Then, when you come back to class, the two of you can work together so you both improve. I highly recommend John Chau and LDX Latin Dance in Renton if you want to increase your salsa dancing skills.

Front desk workers are super friendly and overall we were happy, just a little disappointed with the ease of the choreography.

I saw an opportunity for a theater camp in the summer for Shrek Jr the Musical. So, on a whim, I signed them up. At 8 and 11yo, they were nervous but very excited. They had no theater, singing or acting experience. I was honestly blown away after 2 weeks of prep, they were signing in front of a packed house and loving every minute of it. It honestly brought tears to my eyes seeing my shy kids flourishing on stage. They have continued to want to be in every production since! They have found great comradery with other kids who really enjoy theater and love their teacher, Ms. Candace. They come out of every practice with a smile in a good mood. They just completed The Music Man Jr and are ready for the next one. I love that each production includes every student in the cast. I appreciate the teaching of stage presence and makeup and costumes. My oldest loves making her costumes for her sister and herself. I highly recommend CDT for theater. It's a very inclusive and supportive place. Thank you for letting my kids shine on stage.
