Whether it's getting girls to participate, use the bathroom, or engage them in a recital, she has a process and thought out plan for all. I actually love that she doesn't have a visible window (from the inside) for dancers to get distracted during practice. The recital was run in a top notch fashion. Girls were engaged, everything ran fluidly, and the program absolutely delivered! Very great addition to SE Wisconsin, and a very strongly run program overall. Can't wait to see what the 2018 recital brings!

They are also a dance company and offers performances, as well as a school that offers a pretty fantastic range of classes for both kids and adults. I've taken adult ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, tap, African and ballroom dance classes at Danceworks. They also offer some fitness based classes like Zumba and Barre Workout classes as well. This org hosts a great variety of classes and has so many performance opportunities for both professional and developing dancers. I would recommend a regular end of session survey for regular attendees to be able to review the class and instructor in order to help develop newer teachers and to understand what clients are expecting or looking for from the class. One area of improvement would be better follow up from staff. Sometimes it takes more than one or two attempts to hear back regarding an inquiry. Overall I am very happy with Danceworks, an important local institution here in Milwaukee for the arts, education, culture, youth development and adult enrichment. Get out and see a performance or take a class, you will not regret it!

Definitely recommend.

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!

There are also classes for boys, musical theatre, voice lessons and I'm sure a few other I'm not aware of. Let's start with the facilities which include the entire bottom floor of a new mixed use building in old Brookfield on Brookfield Road. There are several large rooms with dance floors as well as several medium size rooms fitted out for ballet. Several small music rooms, changing facilities, offices and bathrooms round out the facilities. Organizationally they provide a website for registration, automatic payments, and a robust set of email outreach of upcoming events. Mandy's secret sauce though are her staff who uniformly seem to love working with the girls. Our family can't recommend Brookfield Dance Academy/Brookfield Center for the Arts more highly!
