We have been going here for the past four years for classes and travel mini teams, and the growth…read morewe've seen has been incredible. My daughter has gained so much confidence, and her dancing has improved tremendously. It gives my daughter structure and shows her what it truly means to be part of a team. Even though it can be hard at times, those moments are shaping her and laying a foundation for great things. This studio holds a special place in our hears, as I also danced here as a child and teen. We truly wouldn't go anywhere else. -Nicole

My daughter had a wonderful first swim lesson here, so we were excited to return the following…read moreweek--especially after she was leveled up and we paid in advance for her next session. Unfortunately, this second visit was the complete opposite of our first. When we arrived, we were told she wasn't registered, even though we had already paid. After some back and forth, they "found a spot" and told us we were lucky, which didn't feel great considering the mistake wasn't ours. From the moment her new instructor walked her back, I could see my daughter's discomfort. She's only four, and getting into a pool with a stranger requires warmth, patience, and a little time to build trust. Instead, her instructor was neither friendly nor engaging. My daughter managed about five minutes in the water before becoming too overwhelmed. Swimming should be fun, safe, and encouraging--not something a child feels forced into. I hope the program takes this kind of feedback seriously, because young swimmers need instructors who understand how to connect with children, especially during those first few lessons to build trust and confidence.

All the reviews are rather old so this is my recent experience. I sent my daughter to the winter…read morecamp and she did have fun (2 stars for that). However, I don't think I would recommend them or send her again because of the poor management and communication from the staff. In the first day I kept her home because I was worried she might be sick and it was a couple days before Christmas (not nice to share bugs and ruin the holiday for others). And they are very upfront that there are no refunds. I was cool with that day because it was my choice. I called them to ask if there is a specific drop off time or details for the next day and was told there wasn't. Drop Off was flexible. Additionally, I checked the email they sent out and it only had the one address (for the building with the bus parked outside). The next day my daughter was 100% but slept in and my husband tried to drop her off at 11:30. He went to the address we were provided, and found the lights off and a sign on the door that said they were closed for the winter break. I called and called the number for an hour. Their phone system is super annoying because you have to listen to a long message advertising their programs before anybody picks up, then if nobody picks up, while you are holding you have to listen to another message on a loop. There is no way to leave a message. Seems like a very 1980's way to mange phone communication. Finally at about 12:30 I get ahold of a person. She said she is the only person who can answer the phones during camps because most of their staff is off and rather indignantly points out that she deserves a lunch, so she was away from the phone. Also, while she is on break , because they only use a skeleton crew for winter camps, all the kids are walked over to the other building where the the dance and gymnastics classes are held, which is why the place was closed when my husband tried to drop off. I mentioned that I had specifically called the day before to ask about drop off times and arrangements and nobody had communicated that there is a second location used. Her attitude was that I just should have known to go there. I pointed out that if they have a sign indicating they are closed for the holidays, they could also put one up indicating that the camp site has moved to a second location while she is on break. She did offer that I could drop off my daughter now (it was movie time) but it was nearly 1:00 and she would only be there for a short time by the time my husband drive her back over. The other concern was than, while I agree everyone deserves a break, if there was an emergency with a child and the parents needed to contact AKM, having no way to leave a message or having them forward calls to someone who can cover the phones, seems rather dangerous. My daughter did finally make it the next week and had fun. However, my husband had mixed feeling with the place when dropping her off. For what is described as a "camp" it did not offer all the activities mentioned in the advertisement. Also, when he dropped her off at 9:30 ( an hour after it started) he said there was only 1 adult, who appeared to be a young lady or teenager, watching 9 other kids of various ages as they ran around in an unstructured environment. He sat in the car for a bit to observe. She took all the kids out to the sidewalk area, gave them a bag of cheese its and watched them run around the sidewalk while they ate their snack. She then took them back inside for more playtime. He ultimately decided that because he was off and could come get our daughter if she was not having fun he was willing to give it a chance. There was nothing unsafe occurring, just rather it felt more like a daycare than a camp with planned activities. My daughter enjoyed running around the ninja course and swimming, so they did more activities through the day. I emailed my concerns and waited over a week for a response and have received none. Overall, did my daughter have fun?- yes. Would I send her again- probably not. The price point for what you get, the poor management and communication seems like they have some gaps in their process that makes me feel like the camps are an afterthought and not run with attention to details. Plus, if you are using this as daycare during the winter school break (we were not) their hours are not very convenient. It opens at 8:30 and pick up is 2:30, not exactly helpful hours for working people.

The staff here are genuinely nice. I am new to the 'dance population'. My daughter has wanted to…read morejoin dance forever, and I suck as a mom, so I barely signed her up this past September. I'm so bummed I didn't start her sooner! She LOVES the class! Now, let me explain my little one. She is really active, loves all sports, hates all dresses. I don't think "girly" has ever been a word to describe my 9 year old daughter. Feisty? Yeah, that one I've heard a few times to describe her... ;) So, when she joined the hip hop class, on the first day I was a bit intimidated by the bling, mini shorts, and hot pink shirts the other girls were wearing, but the instructors do an amazing job of making the girls feel comfortable and have fun. The facility is organized, clean, and inexpensive! ($50 a month for one class) However, I understand dance 'can' get pretty expensive (just like any extracurricular activity), so, I can't speak in terms of the prices for the competition dance classes or costumes.
