September 2024 update. We still love Center Stage and spend most of our week there these days…read more My daughter who I mentioned in an earlier review loved dancing there so much she is now one of their company dancer. My son who had just started tried a few classes on and off and he found his thing as a hip hop dancer. Both kids love center stage and their teachers too! We will probably be part of the center stage family for years to come. I still also highly recommend center stage for all dancers!

I took my 4 year old son here for 3 Bollywood dance classes in total. When my wife called up the…read moreplace initially, we were told that we could bring him for a trial class. This is the first time my son is taking any classes, so we weren't sure. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place given the following facts: - The 2 instructors (who take turn) are very strict and cold to the kids. I think younger kids need more attention and need to be encouraged rather than be spoken harshly. My elder 9 year old daughter has been going to an American Tap school for the last 6 years and I have seen the difference. - The place is unkempt. The three Saturday mornings I went, I found the carpet in the lobby to host all kind of trash and never vacuumed. Maybe the place operates on a lean staff and they do not have this covered. But not a good impression to give newcomers especially. - We had a tiff with the center on the fees. We were charged for the trial class even though we weren't told initially that this class would be charged (In my opinion a trial class is normally free unless stated specifically). Upon pointing this out, we were reimbursed the money in again a very cold hostile way. Hope the center realizes its mistakes in dealing with newcomers and takes this review in a positive constructive manner.

What can I say about Kaye Lynn? Most importantly, my daughter loves it there! She first started…read morethere a couple of years ago for ballet and tap, but then she said she wanted to try hip hop, which they didn't offer for her age group. We tried another school.. and even though the teacher was good, it was a very dry environment.. no high energy, no interaction with the owner other than when payment was due (still hadn't met her by the time the recital came).... myself and other parents knew we would not return. So, I was so happy when my LO decided she wanted to go back to Kaye Lynn.. Miss Robin, Miss Jasi, and Miss Mary Alice are awesome! Miss Robin has the energy of someone half her age.. they're so fun and full of excitement and you truly feel as though they really love teaching your children. I mean, I sometimes want to get in there and start dancing! The best thing is, they don't nickel and dime you... if classes are cancelled for whatever reason, they encourage makeups in any of the classes when needed. I love it there and I actually enjoy going there multiple times a week.. and that's a big thing with my schedule. LOL.

Highly recommend, but do not take my word for it, just come in and try a class adult or children class

Mr. David is silly and friendly, but he still pushes the kids to make sure they become stronger dancers. We do the rec dancing, not competition. At other dance schools, I have felt like the focus is solely on the competition teams, with the rest of the kids just serving as filler. Never the case at Dance Connection! I've also been impressed with how the school began to provide high-end virtual opportunities and socially distant summer camps when this became necessary. They adjusted the common areas in the studio and the classrooms to allow for proper distancing, too. Mr. David worked with the parents to explain the new measures and made sure we feel comfortable. We'll be a Dance Connection family for years to come.

Every teacher she has danced with has not only been knowledgeable and accomplished but also fun and kind which is very important for cultivating a love of ballet and also the desire to push on. David the owner, an accomplished dancer and also a teacher there always offers a welcoming smile to the children and is always available to the parents. He certainly has a way with children. I remember when my daughter started dancing at his school she hated her tights and refused to go to class filling the waiting area with her screams. David was so gentle and reassuring and managed to get her to pull it together and join the class! All the staff are wonderful as are the families that that share my love of this school. I also want to compliment David and his staff for pushing on despite the COVID pandemic. Dance has never stopped for my daughter. Virtual classes went off without a moments hesitation when the world shut down. He put together a virtual recital in front of a green screen last June! Pretty amazing! Classes picked up on schedule this September. Small classes, social distancing and masks but the dance goes on. I'm so grateful for this little bit of normal and the smile on my daughter's face when she takes off that mask after class and tells me "Mommy that was fun!"

As a new dancer, I have no problems following the choreography, but I still feel challenged. The instructor EJ is great and oh my can he dance. He is patient, professional and charismatic. He is an easy going instructor who gives clear instructions that are easy to follow and has a great sense of humor. His classes are warm and fun and all students regardless of level dance with one another and lend support. As a new member, and without a partner, I was immediately welcomed into the group and made to feel at home and at ease. At $15 a class, you certainly get more than your money's worth, and leave feeling exhilarated, smiling, and excited to come back again. There is no form of exercise that I look forward to more. And Ballroom Dream is a great studio for it!
